How long does the treatment cycle of myopia in Shanghai Eye Hospital take?

Myopia is a common ophthalmic problem. For many myopic patients, they may wonder how long it takes to treat myopia. In Shanghai, there is a well-known eye hospital - Shanghai Eye Hospital, which provides a variety of methods to treat myopia. Next, I will elaborate on the myopia treatment cycle of the hospital from four aspects.

Orthopaedic surgery

Ophthalmic correction surgery is a common method to treat myopia. Shanghai Eye Hospital provides a variety of ophthalmic correction surgery, such as laser myopia correction surgery and ICL crystal implantation surgery. For most patients, after surgery, they can immediately feel the improvement of vision. However, postoperative recovery and visual stabilization need some time. Generally, the patient needs to return to the hospital for reexamination and eye cleaning 1-2 days after surgery. Later, the patient will have regular reexamination within a few weeks after the operation to ensure the recovery of the eyeball and vision. The treatment cycle of the whole ophthalmic corrective surgery is about 4-6 weeks.

Keratoplasty

Corneal plastic lens therapy is a non operative treatment for myopia. The patient wears a specially made corneal shaping lens when sleeping, and temporarily corrects myopia by adjusting the corneal curvature. The treatment cycle of this therapy is long, and it generally requires continuous wearing of corneal shaping lens for a period of time during sleep to achieve the ideal correction effect. According to individual conditions, the treatment cycle is generally 1-3 months, and multiple reexaminations and adjustments may be required to ensure the stability of the efficacy.

Vision training

In addition to surgery and keratoplasty, Shanghai Eye Hospital also provides vision training as an option for myopia treatment. Vision training mainly includes a series of eye movements and eye muscle exercises. This treatment method requires patients to insist on eye movement and eye muscle exercise in daily life, and regularly go to the hospital for review and evaluation. The treatment cycle of vision training is generally long, which may take several months to one year, depending on the patient's eye muscle condition and treatment effect.

Treatment with glasses

Glasses matching is a simple and effective method to treat myopia. Relevant glasses matching services are also provided in Shanghai Eye Hospital. Patients can wear appropriate glasses or contact lenses according to their myopia degree. The treatment cycle of glasses matching is relatively short. Generally, patients only need to undergo degree inspection, and then doctors will equip them with appropriate glasses or contact lenses, which can effectively correct myopia when patients wear them indoors or at work. However, in order to ensure the stability of the correction effect, patients still need to go to the hospital regularly for re examination and glasses replacement.

In a word, the cycle of myopia treatment in Shanghai Eye Hospital varies according to different treatment methods. Orthopaedic surgery and keratoplasty usually take weeks to months to achieve ideal results. The cycle of vision training and lens matching treatment is relatively long, which may take several months to a year. However, everyone's treatment process and effect are different, so when choosing a treatment method, it is best to consult a professional doctor and choose according to their own conditions.
