Wuhan Jiangxia Eye Hospital: How to treat keratitis?
Keratitis is a common eye disease, patients often have red eyes, eye pain, tears and other symptoms. For the treatment of keratitis, Wuhan Jiangxia Eye Hospital adopts comprehensive treatment methods, including drug treatment, anti-inflammatory treatment, physical therapy and surgical treatment. The following will be elaborated from several aspects.
medication
Drug treatment is one of the preferred treatment methods for keratitis. Patients often need to use antibiotic eyedrops and anti-inflammatory drugs to alleviate inflammation and kill bacteria. These drugs can inhibit the growth and reproduction of bacteria or viruses and help patients recover their eyesight. In addition, eye moisturizers can also be used to improve eye wetness and reduce discomfort caused by inflammation. Drug treatment needs to be carried out under the guidance of doctors, and drugs should be used strictly according to the doctor's advice to avoid adverse reactions.
In some patients with severe keratitis, doctors may choose to give patients corticosteroid eye drops. Glucocorticoid has a strong anti-inflammatory effect and can quickly alleviate inflammation. However, the use of corticosteroids should be cautious. Long term or abuse may lead to a series of side effects, such as elevated intraocular pressure, lens opacity, etc.
In addition, for patients with chronic keratitis, Wuhan Jiangxia Eye Hospital will also use corneal epithelial cell repair fluid for treatment. The liquid is rich in ingredients beneficial to the growth of corneal epithelial cells, which can promote the repair and regeneration of corneal epithelial layer and accelerate the recovery of patients' vision.
Anti inflammatory treatment
Keratitis is a disease characterized by inflammation, so anti-inflammatory treatment is very important. In Wuhan Jiangxia Eye Hospital, doctors will choose appropriate anti-inflammatory treatment according to the severity and condition of inflammation.
Early and mild inflammation patients often relieve eye inflammation through local cold compress. Cold compress can contract blood vessels, relieve eye congestion, and has analgesic and sedative effects. For patients with severe inflammation, oral nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or corticosteroids and other anti-inflammatory drugs may be required.
Physiotherapy
Physical therapy mainly includes corneal grinding lens, corneal contact lens and other treatment methods. The keratomileuse is suitable for cases with corneal epithelial damage. It can promote the growth of new cells by removing the damaged upper corneal tissue. Contact lenses can improve corneal curvature and improve vision. These physical therapies need to be carried out under the guidance of doctors to ensure the treatment effect and patient safety.
surgical treatment
In some patients with keratitis, if satisfactory results are still not achieved after drug treatment, anti-inflammatory treatment and physical therapy, experts in Wuhan Jiangxia Eye Hospital may consider surgical treatment. In this case, the common surgical methods include corneal scraping, phototherapy and corneal transplantation.
Keratoplasty promotes corneal regeneration by scraping the damaged corneal epithelium. Phototherapy is the use of laser technology to repair and treat the cornea. When the condition is serious and cannot be treated by other methods, corneal transplantation becomes the last choice. Corneal transplantation can replace the damaged cornea of patients and help them restore their vision.
summary
Wuhan Jiangxia Eye Hospital can effectively treat keratitis through drug treatment, anti-inflammatory treatment, physical therapy and surgery. When receiving treatment, patients should follow the doctor's advice and actively cooperate with the treatment in order to obtain better curative effect and vision recovery.
