How to treat myopia in Shanghai Eye Hospital
Myopia is a common vision problem, which brings inconvenience to people's study and life. As a professional ophthalmic medical institution, Shanghai Eye Hospital has advanced equipment and professional medical team, providing a variety of effective methods to treat myopia. The following four aspects will be described in detail, including ophthalmic correction, corneal plastic lens, drug treatment and laser surgery.
Ophthalmic correction
Glasses correction is one of the most common and traditional ways to treat myopia. Shanghai Eye Hospital provides patients with appropriate myopia glasses according to the degree of myopia and the characteristics of their eyeballs. Myopic glasses use the principle of convex convex lens to correctly focus light on the retina when it enters the eye, so as to correct the vision problem of myopia. Through professional optometry, Shanghai Eye Hospital can provide patients with accurate prescriptions to ensure the effect and comfort of glasses correction.
Glasses correction has the advantages of simple use and economic benefits, and is suitable for patients of all ages. In addition, glasses can also correct other vision problems, such as astigmatism, and provide all-round visual help. However, for some patients, they want to have a lifestyle that does not rely on glasses, so Shanghai Eye Hospital also provides other methods to treat myopia.
Keratoscope
Corneal shaping lens is a special kind of contact lens, which is widely used in the correction of myopia. This kind of contact lens needs to be worn when the patient sleeps. By changing the curvature of the cornea, the patient can see objects normally without wearing any glasses in the daytime. Shanghai Eye Hospital provides patients with personalized corneal shaping lenses, which are customized according to the characteristics of patients' eyeballs to ensure comfort and correction effect.
Compared with traditional contact lenses, corneal shaping lenses have better correction effect and higher safety. Patients can wear it when they sleep, and have good vision during the day. At the same time, they can also have a natural appearance and get rid of the shackles of glasses. However, the corneal shaping lens needs regular maintenance and inspection. The patient needs to follow the doctor's instructions to wear and clean it correctly, and return to the hospital regularly.
medication
In addition to glasses correction and corneal shaping glasses, Shanghai Eye Hospital also treats myopia through drugs. The principle of drug treatment for myopia is to slow down the increase of myopia degree by controlling the growth of the lens in the eye. The doctor will prescribe drugs according to the patient's age and eye features, and the patient will take the drugs on time every day.
Drug therapy for myopia has the advantages of convenience, non-invasive and so on, which is suitable for children and adolescents. However, drug treatment for myopia requires long-term use. Once the drug is stopped, the degree of myopia may deepen again. Therefore, patients need to return to the hospital regularly to check the changes of their eyes and make adjustments according to the doctor's suggestions.
Laser surgery
For those who want to get rid of glasses or contact lenses, laser surgery is an effective treatment for myopia. Shanghai Eye Hospital uses modern laser technology to correct myopia by changing the shape of the cornea so that light can be correctly focused on the retina when it enters the eye.
Laser surgery for myopia has the advantages of rapidity, accuracy and reversibility. Patients can feel the improvement of vision immediately after surgery and no longer rely on glasses or contact lenses. However, laser surgery requires patients to meet certain physical and eye conditions, and there are certain surgical risks. Therefore, patients need to consult and check with doctors in detail before deciding to accept laser surgery.
Summary
The treatment methods of myopia in Shanghai Eye Hospital include glasses correction, corneal plastic lens, drug treatment and laser surgery. Glasses correction and corneal shaping lens are common non operative treatment methods, which have the advantages of simplicity, convenience and good correction effect. Drug treatment for myopia is suitable for children and adolescents, which can slow down the growth rate of myopia degree. Laser surgery is a fast and effective treatment for myopia, which is suitable for those who want to get rid of glasses or contact lenses. Patients can choose appropriate treatment plans according to their own needs and doctors' suggestions to improve their vision problems.
