There has been a way to help people with brain injury regain their eyesight

One month after surgery, the patient's vision improved with an average of 20/40 from the average of December 20, 90, within a few months almost all patients had 20/20 vision.

The researchers removed the vitreous tissue behind the lens of the eye and replaced them with a saline solution for 20 patients with Terson syndrome.

One month after surgery, the patient's vision improved to an average of 20/40 from an average of 20/1290, within a few months almost all patients had vision 20/20 .

New eye surgery technique.

CDC estimates that in 2010, about 2.5 million emergency or death cases were associated with brain trauma in the United States. This type of injury can cause serious damage to a patient's eyesight, and even lead to blindness. Today, researchers have discovered that vision can be restored in people who have suffered a traumatic brain injury. They can even help people who are blind due to trauma to recover their vision as usual.

Loss of vision after accident brain injury is quite common.

A small study by the Washington University School of Medicine and Pharmacy in St. Louis, the Kresge Eye Institute at Wayne University in Detroit and the LV Prasad Eye Institute in India were published in the recent Ophthalmology magazine. The study included 20 patients with Terson syndrome after surgery, a form of hemorrhage that is primarily caused by brain injury such as traffic accidents. Some patients have hemorrhage in both eyes, thus allowing research to be performed on 28 eyes.

The techniques used to restore vision in these patients are known as surgery to remove the lens of the eye. The surgery removed and replaced it with a salt solution. These patients were divided into groups that had had surgery for hemorrhage within three months and the group had hemorrhage after three months.

One month after surgery, the patient's vision improved with an average of 20/40 from the average of December 20, 90, within a few months almost all patients had 20/20 vision.

This new surgical method is a hope for millions of people.

The researchers noted that between the time of injury and surgery, there will be no factors affecting the patient's vision. This is an extremely important development, when the patient is close to death, the patient must be stabilized before surgery and restore vision afterwards.

Rajendra S. Apte, a professor at the Washington University School of Medicine, said: "It is important to find the ideal time after the accident to have surgery without a negative impact on vision. can impact greatly, bringing hope to millions of people ".
