How to correct astigmatism in Wuhan Purui Eye Hospital? How long is the treatment cycle?
Astigmatism is a common problem of ocular ametropia. Patients have difficulty in adjusting the focus at far and near distances, and their vision may be blurred or distorted. For astigmatism, Wuhan Purui Eye Hospital has provided a variety of effective correction methods. This article will elaborate on the correction of astigmatism from four aspects: the means of correction, the treatment cycle, the surgical response and the expected effect.
1、 Corrective measures
The correction methods for astigmatism mainly include glasses correction and corneal plastic lens correction.
1. Glasses correction: according to the degree of astigmatism, the ophthalmologist will give the corresponding correction degree to make glasses that can allow the eyes to adjust the focus normally. This is a common and direct corrective method, which is applicable to most patients.
2. Corneal plastic lens correction: This is a non operative correction method to change the shape of the cornea. By wearing a specially designed corneal shaping lens, the curvature of the cornea can be changed, so that the light can be correctly focused on the retina after entering the eyeball. The advantage is that there is no need for surgical intervention, and it is convenient for patients to adjust the degree.
In addition to the above two main correction methods, patients can also choose their own correction methods according to their specific circumstances.
2、 Treatment cycle
The treatment period mainly depends on the degree of astigmatism and the selected correction method.
1. Glasses correction: use glasses for astigmatism correction, and the treatment cycle is short. The patient can get the correction degree immediately after optometry, and can begin to correct the vision after glasses are fitted, and can feel obvious improvement soon.
2. Orthodontic treatment of corneal reshaping lens: Wearing corneal reshaping lens requires a certain adaptation period, usually within a few days or weeks, the patient can gradually adapt. After the adaptation period, the patient can move normally and obtain good vision correction effect.
Therefore, the length of the treatment cycle is related to the means of correction and the individual condition of the patient.
3、 Surgical response
For patients who want to get rid of glasses or corneal shaping glasses, astigmatism surgery can be selected for correction. Common surgical methods include laser myopic astigmatism surgery (LASIK) and surface phototherapy (PRK).
Recovery after surgery takes some time. Normally, patients will recover to a stable vision level within one month after surgery. During the recovery period after the operation, the patient needs to do a good job of eye care, use eye drops as recommended by the doctor, and avoid strenuous exercise and exposure to strong light.
4、 Effect expectation
After astigmatism correction by the above means, the patient can obtain obvious vision improvement.
Glasses correction and corneal shaping glasses can provide clear visual effect in a short time, but they need to be worn continuously to maintain the effect.
The effect of ophthalmic surgery is more lasting. Most patients can get rid of the dependence of glasses or corneal shaping glasses after surgery, and their vision is significantly improved.
It is worth noting that the correction effect may be different due to individual differences, so before choosing the correction method, the patient should fully communicate with the doctor to clarify the expected effect.
Summary
For the correction of astigmatism, Wuhan Purui Eye Hospital provides a variety of options such as glasses correction, corneal plastic lens correction and ophthalmic surgery. The treatment cycle varies according to the means of correction and individual differences. The operation recovery process requires the patient to follow the doctor's advice to complete the eye care, and the recovery period is generally one month. By means of correction, patients can obtain obvious vision improvement. Ophthalmic surgery can help patients get rid of dependence on glasses or corneal shaping lenses.
