Wuhan Myopia Prevention Hospital

Myopia is a common ophthalmic problem, especially in modern society, most people will suffer from myopia. For the treatment of myopia, there are some professional eye hospitals in Wuhan that provide a variety of treatment methods. This article will elaborate on these methods from four aspects, including ophthalmic correction, keratoplasty, medication and surgical correction.

Ophthalmic correction

Glasses correction is one of the most common treatment methods for myopia. By wearing glasses with appropriate degree, correct optical diopter can be provided in the process of increasing myopia degree, so as to correct vision. The advantages of glasses correction are simple, convenient and without any risk. In addition, in recent years, there have also been some special lenses specially used to prevent myopia, such as progressive multi focus lenses, anti blue light lenses, which can effectively slow down the development of myopia.

However, glasses correction is only a temporary solution and cannot cure myopia. Therefore, many people will choose other more lasting treatments.

Keratoplasty

Corneoplasty is a method of correcting myopia by changing the shape of the cornea. The most common method is laser keratoplasty (LASIK). During surgery, doctors will use lasers to precisely cut the cornea of the eye to change its curvature, thus improving myopia. The effect of this surgical correction is usually lasting, and many people can no longer rely on glasses or contact lenses after surgery.

However, keratoplasty is not applicable to all people. For some specific cases, such as corneal weakness or dry eye, there may be risks. Therefore, before the operation, a detailed examination and evaluation are required, and professional doctors will judge whether the operation is suitable.

medication

In recent years, some drug treatments have also been used for the prevention and treatment of myopia. The most common drug is atropine eyedrops with low concentration. This eyedrop can slow down the growth of myopia by dilating the pupil and adjusting the elasticity of the lens. Although atropine eye drops can inhibit the progress of myopia to a certain extent, their effects vary from person to person. In addition, long-term use of atropine eye drops may cause some side effects, such as blurred vision, astigmatism, etc.

Surgical correction

In addition to keratoplasty, there are other surgical methods to correct myopia, such as intraocular lens implantation, cataract surgery, etc. These operations are mainly suitable for patients with older age or higher myopia. After surgery, patients can obtain bright and clear vision without relying on glasses or contact lenses.

To sum up, Wuhan Eye Hospital provides a variety of methods for myopia treatment, including glasses correction, corneal reshaping, drug treatment and surgical correction. Each method has its advantages, disadvantages and indications. Patients should choose a treatment plan that is suitable for their own situation and treat under the guidance of professional doctors to achieve the best effect.
