Exploring the Treatment of Retinal Artery Occlusion with Qi Supplementation,Blood Circulation,and Collateral Unblocking Therapy Based on Collateral Vessel Theory
Retinal artery occlusion(RAO)is a severe blinding eye disease characterized by a sudden,dramatic decrease in vision in one or both eyes,accompanied by typical ischemic changes visible in the retina.Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM)theory posits that the collateral vessels play a significant role in the physiology and pathology of eye diseases.This paper explores the treatment of RAO based on collateral vessel theory,providing a theoretical foundation for using Qi supplementation,blood circulation,and collateral unblocking therapy to treat this condition.Clinically,patients with RAO are typically middle-aged or elderly and often suffer from systemic diseases such as hypertension and hyperlipidemia.Qi deficiency and blood stasis are key pathomechanisms.When Yang Qi is deficient,accompanied by Qi stagnation and blood stasis,external pathogenic factors obstruct the collateral vessels,leading to impaired Qi and blood flow,which can result in RAO.Addressing the aforementioned pathomechanisms,the primary treatment involves Qi supplementation and blood circulation,combined with therapies that unblock the collaterals and resolve stagnation,often yielding favorable outcomes.
