How to treat astigmatism in Guangzhou Eye Center
Astigmatism is a common ophthalmic disease, which causes patients to see objects from a distance when they are ambiguous. As a professional eye hospital, Guangzhou Eye Center has accumulated rich experience and technology in the treatment of astigmatism. The following will elaborate on how to treat astigmatism in Guangzhou Eye Center from the aspects of common treatment methods, surgical treatment, postoperative nursing and effect evaluation.
Common treatment methods
Guangzhou Ophthalmology Center has adopted a variety of methods to treat astigmatism, such as wearing myopia glasses, contact lenses and corneal shaping glasses. These methods can correct vision in a short time, and help patients see distant objects normally. In addition, Guangzhou Eye Center also recommends patients to carry out vision training to improve the adjustment ability and curvature of the eyes through specific eye movements and training, so as to improve astigmatism.
If the astigmatism of the patient is serious and the above methods cannot meet the needs, Guangzhou Eye Center will also recommend laser surgery for astigmatism.
Laser surgery
Laser surgery is a common and most effective method to treat astigmatism. The laser surgery used in Guangzhou Eye Center mainly includes LASIK (laser in situ keratomileusis) and PRK (surface dressing).
LASIK surgery cuts the upper layer of the cornea through laser, then uses laser to remove some tissue from the lower layer of the cornea, reshape the corneal curvature, and finally uses the cut upper layer of the cornea to cover the original place. After surgery, the patient's vision will recover and stabilize in a short time.
PRK surgery is to remove the surface cells on the upper layer of the cornea by laser, thus changing the curvature of the cornea, which requires a long recovery time after surgery.
Before laser surgery, Guangzhou Eye Center will use advanced examination equipment to conduct a comprehensive examination of the patient's eyes to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the surgery.
Postoperative care
Guangzhou Eye Center attaches great importance to postoperative nursing, and patients will receive professional nurse guidance and care after surgery. Patients need to return regularly. The doctor will check the cornea and vision to ensure the effect of surgery and the stability of vision. In a period of time after surgery, patients need to pay attention to eye hygiene, avoid intense eye activity, and avoid rubbing eyes with hands to reduce the risk of infection and postoperative complications.
Effect evaluation
Guangzhou Ophthalmology Center will evaluate the effect of laser surgery on patients regularly. Generally speaking, patients can feel obvious vision improvement 1-2 days after surgery. About 3 months after the operation, the patient's corneal morphology and vision will be further stabilized, and the postoperative vision can achieve satisfactory results.
To sum up, Guangzhou Eye Center helps patients with astigmatism by wearing glasses, vision training, laser surgery and other treatment methods. Laser surgery is one of the most common and effective treatment methods. It can reshape corneal curvature through laser to correct astigmatism. Postoperative nursing and effect evaluation are important links to ensure the treatment effect and patient safety. Guangzhou Ophthalmology Center has rich experience and professional technology in astigmatism treatment, and can provide personalized and accurate treatment scheme.
