Non operative treatment of astigmatism in Wuhan Preh Eye Hospital
Astigmatism is a common eye problem, which affects the quality of life of many people. Many people hope to find a non operative method to treat astigmatism to avoid the risk and recovery time of traditional surgery. As a professional eye hospital, Wuhan Purui Eye Hospital provides a variety of non-surgical methods for the treatment of astigmatism, providing patients with more convenient and safe options.
Keratoscope
Corneal plastic lens is a non operative method for the treatment of astigmatism. It is a specially designed contact lens that corrects astigmatism by changing the shape of the cornea. The patient wore a corneal shaping lens while sleeping, and then removed it in the daytime. The lens exerts pressure on the surface of the cornea to change the shape of the cornea, thereby correcting astigmatism. One advantage of the corneal shaping lens is that the wearer can see clearly when wearing the lens, but still maintain good vision when not wearing the lens.
The use of corneal plastic lens still needs a certain adaptation period. Patients need to wear and adjust the lenses repeatedly until they find the proper shaping effect. However, this method is relatively safe, but its disadvantage is that it requires glasses, which is not suitable for people who do not like wearing contact lenses.
keratorefractive surgery
Corneal refractive surgery is another non-surgical treatment for astigmatism. It changes the shape of the cornea through laser technology or other methods to correct astigmatism. At present, the common corneal refractive surgery includes LASIK and PRK.
LASIK is a corneal refractive surgery method, which cuts corneal tissue through laser technology to change the shape of the cornea to a normal state. PRK is another corneal refractive surgery method. It does not need to cut corneal tissue, but changes the shape of the cornea by laser irradiation and removing the surface tissue of the cornea.
The advantage of corneal refractive surgery is that the recovery time is relatively short. Generally, patients can return to normal life within a few days after surgery. However, corneal refractive surgery also has certain risks, which requires professional doctors to evaluate and select suitable patients for surgery.
Eye exercises
Eye exercises is a simple non operative method for the treatment of astigmatism. Through some eye movements and massage, eye muscle fatigue can be reduced, eye blood circulation can be improved, and discomfort caused by astigmatism can be alleviated.
Eye exercises include eye rotation, eye movements up and down, left and right, and looking at near and far objects. In addition, there are some massage techniques that can relax the eye muscles by pressing the acupoints around the eyes.
The advantage of eye exercises is that they are easy to operate and do not need any equipment and drugs. However, eye exercises can not cure astigmatism, but can only play a role in auxiliary treatment.
medication
Drug therapy is a conservative and non operative treatment for astigmatism. By using some drugs, such as mydriasis, the shape and diopter of the lens can be temporarily changed to correct astigmatism. The advantage of using medicine to treat astigmatism is convenient and quick, but medicine treatment can only temporarily relieve astigmatism, and cannot cure it.
To sum up, Wuhan Purui Eye Hospital provides a variety of non-surgical methods for the treatment of astigmatism, including corneal plastic lens, corneal refractive surgery, eye exercises and drug treatment. Patients can choose appropriate treatment methods according to their own conditions to obtain effective corrective effects.
