sight has slowly recovered

Mr. Ye, who is 33 years old this year, was injured by firecrackers in his right eye when he was 9 years old.

After that, the center of the pupil of his right eye slowly turned white,

Vision is getting worse and worse.

Patient Mr. Ye

“After going to work, I use computers and mobile phones a lot, and then I felt that sometimes it would be more difficult, so I thought about whether there was a chance to recover (vision).”

In December 2021, Mr. Ye went to Shenzhen University General Hospital for treatment , The ophthalmologist said that if the eyeball is compared to a camera, Mr. Ye’s “camera lens” is completely damaged, and the “aperture” cannot be used.

“Our normal pupils should be transparent , his pupils are completely white, and his pupils are not round, the iris is obviously glued to the back, you can’t see the inside of his eyes from the outside, then he can’t see the outside world from the inside .”

As a result, Director Cai performed fine-tuning surgery for Mr. Ye, which brought his right eye vision to 0.6. When he was revisited three months later, the corrected vision of the right eye had reached 0.8, and the appearance was basically the same. Restore focus.

(The doctor found 2 foreign bodies during the operation, only 1mm in diameter)

Doctor’s Tip: If a child has a foreign object in the eye, seek medical attention as soon as possible. The longer the delay, the more difficult the surgery, and the less hope of restoring vision.
