What treatment methods do myopic experts in Wuhan Qianfeng Hospital have?
Myopia is a common visual problem with different severity. Wuhan Qianfeng Hospital, as a well-known hospital focusing on ophthalmology, has a group of experienced myopic experts who use a variety of treatment methods according to patients' conditions and needs. The following will introduce these treatment methods from four aspects: glasses, contact lenses, corneal shaping lenses and laser surgery, and provide applicability analysis for different situations.
1. Glasses
Glasses are one of the most common methods to treat myopia. According to the degree of myopia, doctors can equip patients with suitable myopia glasses to help patients obtain clear vision. This method is simple and easy to operate, without surgical risk, and is popular with many patients.
However, the use of glasses cannot change the development trend of myopia, it is only a temporary means of visual correction. For those who want to get rid of glasses, other treatments may need to be considered.
2. Contact lenses
Contact lenses are a more concealed visual correction method, which can enable patients to obtain clear vision without wearing glasses. Unlike ordinary glasses, contact lenses directly contact the cornea, causing slight pressure on the eyes. Therefore, their applicability needs strict evaluation by doctors.
Contact lenses need to be replaced and cleaned regularly, and the correct wearing and care methods should be followed to avoid eye infection. In addition, for some patients with irregular corneal shape, the use of contact lenses may cause discomfort, so professional judgment of doctors is required.
3. Corneal shaping lens
Ortho-K is a special contact lens that can be worn during sleep to change the shape of the cornea in the future. It can have clear vision for a period of time after removing the lens in the daytime.
This method is suitable for patients with mild to moderate myopia, especially for children and adolescents, because the corneal shaping lens can effectively control the further deepening of myopia. However, the corneal plastic lens needs to be checked in the hospital regularly, and the wearing and nursing rules need to be strictly observed.
4. Laser surgery
Laser surgery is a common treatment method for myopia. It can correct the shape of the cornea by laser, so as to improve vision. This method is generally applicable to adults with stable eyeball development and stable myopia.
Laser surgery is divided into LASIK and PRK. Laser can cut the corneal layer to correct the corneal shape. The operation risk is small, the recovery is fast, and permanent correction can be carried out. However, laser surgery is not applicable to all patients. It should be judged according to the patient's eye conditions and the doctor's recommendations.
To sum up, myopic experts from Wuhan Qianfeng Hospital provide glasses, contact lenses, corneal shaping lenses, laser surgery and other treatment methods according to the degree of myopia and needs of different patients. Glasses are suitable for general patients, contact lenses are suitable for those who do not adapt to the constraints of glasses, corneal shaping lenses are suitable for patients with mild to moderate myopia, and laser surgery is suitable for adults with stable myopia. Before choosing a treatment method, patients should consult a professional myopic expert and make a wise choice according to their own conditions.
