Methods of treating myopia in Dalian Eye Hospital
Myopia is a common refractive error of the eye, which has brought great trouble to many people's life and work. However, in Dalian Eye Hospital, patients can find special methods to treat myopia. The following four aspects will be described in detail: glasses, contact lenses, corneal shaping lenses and laser surgery.
1. Glasses
Glasses are the most common and simple way to correct myopia. In Dalian Eye Hospital, professional optometrists will prepare appropriate glasses according to the patients' eyes. With the help of convex lens, the light can be focused to the macula, so that myopic patients can clearly see the distant scenery. Eyeglasses are safe, reliable, and easy to maintain and replace without surgery.
The corrective effect of glasses can be obtained immediately and is applicable to patients of all ages. However, it should be noted that wearing glasses may affect the appearance of patients and is not suitable for people engaged in sports and specific occupations. Therefore, in some special cases, patients may consider using other methods to treat myopia.
2. Contact lenses
Contact lenses are a method of correcting vision by directly placing them on the upper surface of the eye. In Dalian Eye Hospital, doctors will choose appropriate contact lenses according to the patient's corneal curvature and myopia. Contact lenses can provide a more natural visual effect without any change in appearance.
However, there are some risks and precautions in the use of contact lenses. As the contact lens directly contacts the eyeball, attention should be paid to the hygiene and cleanness of the eyes. In addition, improper wearing or incorrect operation during use may lead to eye discomfort, infection or other complications. Therefore, when using contact lenses, patients need to wear and maintain them in strict accordance with the doctor's recommendations.
3. Corneal shaping lens
Corneal shaping lens is a special kind of contact lens, which can change its shape by pressing the cornea to correct myopia. In Dalian Eye Hospital, professional doctors will customize suitable corneal shaping lenses for patients according to their individual conditions. Corneal shaping glasses are usually worn at night. By changing the shape of the cornea, you can maintain good vision within a few hours after removing the lens in the daytime.
The corrective effect of the corneal shaping lens can last for a whole day, and is suitable for patients who are unwilling or unsuitable to wear conventional contact lenses. However, due to the need to replace lenses regularly, and the need to regularly review the eye condition, the use of corneal plastic lenses also requires certain economic and time costs.
4. Laser surgery
Laser surgery is a method to correct myopia by using laser to reshape the eye structure. This method has a lasting corrective effect and does not need to rely on external auxiliary tools. In Dalian Eye Hospital, doctors with advanced equipment and rich experience can use laser surgery to correct myopia effectively and safely.
However, laser surgery is not applicable to all patients. Age, eye health, degree of myopia and other factors may affect the feasibility of laser surgery. In addition, there are certain risks during the operation, such as infection, dry eyes, etc. Patients need to fully understand and consult with doctors in detail before making decisions.
To sum up, Dalian Eye Hospital has a variety of methods to treat myopia, including glasses, contact lenses, corneal shaping lenses and laser surgery. Patients can choose their own correction methods according to their own needs, health conditions and doctors' suggestions. At the same time, no matter which method is selected, patients need to follow the doctor's guidance and precautions, and regularly review the eye condition to ensure the correction effect and eye health.
