What examinations should be done for eye trauma?
Dalian Eye Hospital is a hospital specializing in the treatment of eye diseases, with a team of eye trauma experts. When the patient suffers from eye trauma, it is very important to check in time. So, what examinations should be done for eye injuries? The following will elaborate on imaging examination, fundus examination, corneal examination and vision examination.
Imaging examination
In the face of eye trauma, doctors usually conduct imaging examination first to determine the severity and type of injury. Common examination methods include CT scanning, MRI and ultrasound. Among them, CT scanning can clearly show the histological structure of the orbit, eyelid and eyeball, which is very helpful for the diagnosis of fractures and intraocular diseases. MRI examination can provide more detailed information of eye soft tissue, which is more accurate for determining glaucoma and optic nerve injury. Ultrasonic examination is mainly applicable to emergency cases, and has a high sensitivity for the examination of ocular trauma, orbital foreign bodies and posterior segment lesions.
In conclusion, imaging examination is an important means for comprehensive assessment of ocular trauma.
Fundus examination
Fundus is an important part for ophthalmologists to judge whether there is damage inside the eyeball. When the degree of eye injury is serious, the fundus is often affected. Fundus examination is usually carried out with microscope and special extremely high brightness lamp. By carefully observing the blood vessels, optic nerve and macula of the fundus, we can find and evaluate the damage inside the eyeball, such as retinal detachment, vitreous hemorrhage, etc. Fundus examination is an important basis for judging the severity of ocular trauma and formulating treatment plans.
Therefore, fundus examination is an indispensable part in the diagnosis of ocular trauma.
Corneal examination
The cornea is the front transparent tissue of the eye, which is vulnerable to trauma. When eye trauma occurs, the cornea is often stimulated or broken, resulting in vision loss and corneal infection. Ophthalmologists usually assess the condition of the cornea through slit lamp examination to determine whether further treatment measures, such as corneal suture or anti infection treatment, are needed.
In conclusion, corneal examination plays a key role in the diagnosis and treatment of ocular trauma.
Visual examination
Vision examination is an essential part of the treatment process for patients with eye injuries. Through this examination, doctors can understand the vision of patients after eye trauma, so as to judge the severity of the injury and predict the possibility of recovery. The visual acuity test generally uses a standard visual acuity chart to measure the vision of patients by allowing them to distinguish visual objects of different sizes. The results of vision examination will provide an important basis for doctors to formulate follow-up treatment plans.
Therefore, vision examination is a very critical examination in the treatment of eye trauma.
Summary
By means of imaging examination, fundus examination, corneal examination and vision examination, eye trauma experts can comprehensively and accurately assess the injury of patients and formulate corresponding treatment plans. These examinations play an important role in both acute and chronic ocular trauma. After suffering from eye trauma, patients must seek medical advice in time and carry out necessary examinations to ensure timely treatment and recovery of the eyes.
