Methods of treating myopia in Wuhan Military Region Eye Hospital
Myopia is one of the common visual problems at present, which brings inconvenience and trouble to patients. As a professional ophthalmic hospital, the Eye Hospital of Wuhan Military Region has rich clinical experience and professional medical team, and provides a variety of methods to treat myopia to help patients recover their visual health.
1. Treatment with glasses
Glasses matching is a common method to treat myopia. According to the patient's diopter and eye axis length, the doctor will prepare appropriate myopia glasses for the patient. Myopic glasses can correct the visual problems caused by myopia by providing the eyes with appropriate diopter, so that the light can be accurately focused on the retina. The treatment of glasses is simple and convenient, which is suitable for patients of all ages.
In addition, contact lenses are also a common method of lens matching treatment. Compared with myopia glasses, contact lenses are more concealed and can better meet the needs of some patients. However, it should be noted that when wearing contact lenses, attention should be paid to hygiene and correct use to avoid causing other eye problems.
In addition to conventional myopia glasses and contact lenses, a new type of lens for myopia has also emerged in recent years, which has also attracted the attention of patients. This kind of lens adopts a special design, which can change the length of the eye axis while correcting vision, so as to provide a more comprehensive correction effect for myopic patients.
2. Refractive surgery
Refractive surgery is another effective method to treat myopia. This operation can change the diopter of the eye by changing the curvature of the cornea, thus correcting myopia. Common refractive surgery includes laser corneal correction (LASIK), surface correction (PRK), etc.
Laser corneal correction is the most common refractive surgery at present. Corneal tissue is cut by laser to change its curvature, so as to correct myopia. Laser keratoplasty has a definite curative effect and a short recovery period, but the operation risk is relatively high, which requires patients to carefully understand and choose.
Surface correction is a relatively mild refractive surgery, which is suitable for some patients in special circumstances. Compared with laser corneal correction, surface correction has a shallower cutting depth, but requires a longer recovery period. The doctor will choose the appropriate refractive surgery according to the patient's condition.
3. Optometry
Optometry is a non operative treatment for myopia. Through training and adjusting patients' visual habits and eye use methods, the effect of improving myopia can be achieved. Optometry mainly includes visual training and the use of visual trainers.
Visual training is to improve myopia through a series of eye movement training and visual activities to enhance the coordination and adjustment of patients' eye muscles. Visual training needs to be carried out under the guidance of professional doctors, and personalized training programs should be developed according to patients' conditions.
Vision trainer is a method to stimulate eyes and brain and correct myopia by adjusting light and image. The use of vision trainer needs to be conducted under the guidance of doctors to ensure safety and efficacy.
4. Drug treatment
Drug treatment of myopia is a relatively new treatment method, which is still under continuous research and application. Drug treatment can slow down or prevent the progress of myopia by regulating the growth and development of tissues in the eye. Common drug treatment methods include external medication, oral medication or injection medication.
The efficacy and side effects of drug treatment still need more research and practical verification. At present, drug therapy is mainly applicable to the progress control of myopia in children and adolescents, and the therapeutic effect on adults still needs further research.
Summary
The Eye Hospital of Wuhan Military Region provides a variety of methods to treat myopia, including glasses, refractive surgery, optometry and medication. Patients can choose appropriate treatment according to their own conditions and doctors' suggestions. Optometry and refractive surgery are the most common treatment methods at present, while optometry and medication are suitable for some special cases. Before receiving treatment, patients should understand the indications, efficacy and risks of different treatment methods in detail to make a wise choice.
