Hemorrhagic glaucoma is a severe form of glaucoma characterized by bleeding within the eye. This condition often results from a rise in intraocular pressure, which can lead to hemorrhaging in the eye's internal structures. Symptoms may include severe eye pain, redness, blurred vision, and the appearance of blood or blood-filled areas within the eye.
Hemorrhagic glaucoma is a medical emergency that requires immediate attention to prevent permanent vision loss. It is a complex condition often associated with underlying vascular or systemic diseases.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) offers a unique perspective on hemorrhagic glaucoma, differing from Western medicine. In TCM, this condition is seen as a manifestation of internal disharmonies affecting the flow of Qi (vital energy) and Blood within the body.
The focus is on identifying and correcting underlying imbalances in the body's organ systems, particularly the Liver, which in TCM is closely associated with the health of the eyes. TCM emphasizes a holistic approach, considering both the physical and energetic aspects of the condition.
