Use of instruments in Wuhan Aier Eye Hospital
As a professional ophthalmic hospital, Wuhan Aier Eye Hospital is equipped with advanced ophthalmic instruments to provide accurate diagnosis and treatment services for patients. The usage and function of hospital instruments will be introduced in detail from fundus camera, corneal topography, tonometer and slit lamp.
fundus camera
Fundus camera is an instrument used to check fundus diseases, which can provide high-resolution fundus images. When using the fundus camera, the doctor will first give the patient eye drops to relax the pupils, and then fix the head on the camera frame to photograph the fundus of the patient's eyes one by one. These images will be transmitted to the computer, and doctors can carefully observe them through magnification, rotation and other functions.
The use of fundus cameras can help doctors quickly and accurately examine the fundus, which is of great significance for the early detection and diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, macular degeneration and other fundus diseases. At the same time, by comparing the changes of fundus images of patients at different times, doctors can also judge the progress of the disease and the treatment effect.
The fundus camera not only improves the level of ophthalmology diagnosis and treatment, but also saves patients' time and unnecessary pain. Through the use of fundus cameras, hospitals can more scientifically develop personalized treatment programs for patients.
Corneal topography
Corneal topography is an instrument used to evaluate corneal curvature and morphology. It can provide detailed corneal morphological images. When using the corneal topographic map, the patient needs to put his chin on the support, aim his eyes at the target point of the instrument, and then the instrument will automatically scan.
Through corneal topography, doctors can assess the curvature, thickness and shape of the cornea, and further understand whether the patient has myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism and other refractive problems. At the same time, corneal topography can also help doctors to formulate specific plans for corneal surgery, such as LASIK and PRK.
The use of corneal topography helps to improve the safety and accuracy of corneal surgery, and also provides patients with better preoperative evaluation and postoperative effect evaluation, which helps patients achieve better vision correction results.
Tonometer
The tonometer is an instrument for measuring intraocular pressure, which is one of the necessary tools for diagnosing glaucoma. When using the tonometer, the doctor will first give the patient eye drops to anaesthetize the eye, then gently touch the pressure measuring pen on the eye surface, and the instrument will automatically measure the intraocular pressure.
Through the use of tonometer, doctors can quickly and accurately understand whether the patient's intraocular pressure is normal. For glaucoma patients, the monitoring of intraocular pressure can help doctors master the changes in the condition, adjust the treatment plan, and prevent the progress of the disease.
The use of tonometer is also helpful for the diagnosis and treatment of other ophthalmic diseases. For example, tonometer can help doctors judge whether there is eye infection, corneal disease, etc., and provide more comprehensive ophthalmic evaluation for patients.
Slit lamp
Slit lamp is an advanced microscope used for anterior segment examination, which can magnify and illuminate the eye structure. When using the slit lamp, the doctor will ask the patient to bend forward, put his chin on the support, and then the doctor will adjust the light and microscope to carefully observe the patient's eye structure.
The use of slit lamp can help doctors check the anterior chamber depth, corneal surface condition, iris condition, etc. of the eyes, so as to judge whether the patients have eye diseases. At the same time, slit lamp can also help doctors observe the degree and scope of eye inflammation such as corneal injury, conjunctivitis, trachoma, etc.
The use of slit lamp is very safe and painless. For patients, it only needs to keep their eyes stable. Through the use of slit lamp, doctors can more accurately judge the patient's eye health, providing an important basis for further diagnosis and treatment.
To sum up, Wuhan Aier Eye Hospital has advanced ophthalmic instruments, including fundus camera, corneal topography, tonometer and slit lamp. The use of these instruments can help doctors quickly and accurately diagnose and treat eye diseases, and provide high-quality medical services for patients.
