Conjunctivitis is a common eye disease, mainly manifested as conjunctival congestion, pain, eye itching and other symptoms. Shanghai New Vision Eye Hospital, as a professional eye hospital, provides a variety of treatment methods for conjunctivitis to help patients relieve symptoms and restore eye health as soon as possible.
1. Drug treatment
Drug therapy is one of the common methods to treat conjunctivitis. Generally, doctors will choose appropriate drugs according to the patient's condition, such as antibiotic eyedrops, anti allergy eyedrops, etc. These drugs can directly act on eye tissues, inhibit inflammatory reaction, kill bacteria, and thus alleviate the symptoms of conjunctivitis. In the course of drug treatment, patients should use eyedrops correctly according to the doctor's advice to avoid abuse or long-term use, so as to avoid adverse reactions.
In addition, local cold compress can also help relieve the pain and redness of conjunctivitis. Patients can use warm water to wet apply gauze, and then gently apply it to their eyes, 10-15 minutes each time, 2-3 times a day.
In addition to drug treatment, patients should also pay attention to eye hygiene, such as washing hands frequently, avoiding rubbing eyes, wiping eyes with clean towels, etc., to prevent bacterial infection or aggravating inflammatory reaction.
2. Phototherapy
Phototherapy is a new method to treat conjunctivitis. Shanghai New Vision Eye Hospital has introduced advanced phototherapy equipment to treat the eyes with light of specific wavelength. Phototherapy can effectively kill bacteria, inhibit inflammatory reaction, and promote the repair of eye tissue. This method of treatment is non-invasive, painless and effective.
During the phototherapy treatment, patients need to cooperate with the guidance of doctors, complete the treatment on time, and return regularly. The period and course of phototherapy depends on the severity of the patient's condition and the healing condition.
3. Traditional Chinese Medicine Therapy
Traditional Chinese medicine can also be used to treat conjunctivitis. Common TCM treatments include decocting, smearing and acupuncture. Traditional Chinese medicine decoctions are often used to improve the blood circulation of the eyes, fight bacteria and diminish inflammation, while traditional Chinese medicine smears can directly act on the eye tissues, accelerating the recovery of inflammation. Acupuncture and moxibustion can regulate the balance of yin and yang of the body and improve the immunity of the eyes by stimulating acupoints.
Traditional Chinese medicine therapy usually requires long-term adherence and has a slow effect. It is applicable to chronic conjunctivitis or patients who are not suitable for drug treatment. When receiving TCM treatment, patients should choose a formal TCM institution and follow the doctor's recommendations for treatment.
