Is there TCM consultation in Guangzhou Ophthalmology Department?
As one of the cities with developed medical technology in China, Guangzhou has many ophthalmic hospitals, providing advanced ophthalmic diagnosis and treatment equipment and professional medical teams for patients. But in these eye hospitals, is there a service of TCM consultation? We will elaborate from the following aspects.
Traditional Chinese Medicine Ophthalmology in Guangzhou
Guangzhou's ophthalmic medical level is in the leading position in China, which also includes the development of traditional Chinese medicine ophthalmology. As one of the well-known ophthalmic hospitals in Guangzhou, Guangzhou Far East Eye Hospital has a TCM ophthalmic clinic, providing TCM consultation services. Traditional Chinese medicine ophthalmology has achieved certain curative effects in treating ophthalmic diseases through traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture and moxibustion. Experts from a hospital in Guangzhou said that TCM ophthalmology has its unique advantages and role in the treatment of some eye diseases, which can effectively alleviate the symptoms of eye diseases and improve vision.
However, it should be noted that TCM ophthalmology treatment is only applicable to some eye diseases with TCM pathological characteristics. For some eye diseases with clear etiology, such as cataract, glaucoma, etc., Western medicine treatment is still needed to develop a reasonable surgical plan.
Differences between traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine
There are some differences in diagnosis and treatment between traditional Chinese ophthalmology and western ophthalmology. Western medicine carries out comprehensive ophthalmic examination and diagnosis through modern medical technology, such as fundus examination, corneal topography and other equipment. Traditional Chinese medicine focuses on the comprehensive analysis of patients' conditions and the formulation of corresponding treatment plans through the four diagnostic methods of TCM, namely, observation, smell, inquiry and palpation.
In addition, traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes the integrity of human beings, focusing on adjusting the balance of yin and yang, regulating the overall qi and blood and other conditions. Western medicine pays more attention to solving local problems, and uses surgery, medicine and other methods for treatment. Therefore, there are differences in treatment methods and theories between traditional Chinese ophthalmology and western ophthalmology.
Application scope of ophthalmology of traditional Chinese medicine
The scope of application of TCM ophthalmology is relatively narrow, and it is applicable to some eye diseases with TCM pathological characteristics. For example, when Chinese medicine is used to treat dry eye, it will recuperate the liver and kidney, improve the balance of yin and yang in the human body, and thus improve the wetness of eye tissues. For some eye injuries, postoperative recovery and other diseases, western medicine is more suitable because of its clear etiology.
In the application of traditional Chinese medicine ophthalmology treatment, patients need to follow the doctor's prescriptions and conditioning methods under the guidance of the doctor, and regularly return for consultation, so as to timely monitor the condition and adjust the treatment plan.
summary
Among the ophthalmic hospitals in Guangzhou, some hospitals have the consulting service of TCM ophthalmology. Traditional Chinese medicine ophthalmology is applicable to some eye diseases with complex etiology or pathological characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine through traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture and other therapies. However, for some eye diseases with clear etiology, western medicine treatment is still needed and a reasonable operation plan should be formulated. There are differences in the diagnosis and treatment methods between traditional Chinese ophthalmology and western ophthalmology, and the scope of application is also different. When patients choose to seek medical treatment, they should choose appropriate hospitals and doctors according to their own conditions and needs.
