What are the inspection items in Guangzhou ophthalmology?
As the economic center of southern China, Guangzhou has many high-level medical institutions and ophthalmologists to provide comprehensive ophthalmic diagnosis and treatment services for patients. The following will introduce the common examination items of Guangzhou ophthalmology from four aspects: corneal examination, fundus examination, visual examination and intraocular pressure examination.
Corneal examination
Cornea is the front window of the eye and one of the main factors affecting vision. Eye hospitals in Guangzhou often assess the health of the cornea through a series of corneal examinations in order to accurately diagnose and treat patients.
First, doctors will use corneal topographer to measure the curvature and shape of the cornea to assess whether there is myopia, hyperopia or astigmatism. Then, the corneal topography image will be transmitted to the computer, and the corresponding report will be generated through software analysis.
In addition, ophthalmologists will also use a corneal vertex thickness meter to measure the thickness of the cornea, and check whether there are problems such as corneal lesions or corneal fragility. This examination is particularly important for patients with ocular surface diseases, keratitis, corneal ulcer, etc.
Fundus examination
The fundus is an important part of the inner part of the human eye. The condition of eye tissue and blood vessels can be understood by examining the fundus. In ophthalmic clinics and hospitals in Guangzhou, fundus cameras, fundus OCT and other equipment are usually used for fundus examination.
Fundus camera is a device specially used to take fundus images, which can help doctors observe fundus structures such as macular region, optic disc, retinal blood vessels, and detect and diagnose diabetic retinopathy, macular hole and other diseases.
Fundus OCT is to obtain high-resolution images of the fundus through optical tomography technology, which can provide more accurate fundus inspection results. It can not only detect fundus diseases, but also help doctors assess macular thickness, retinal edema and inflammation.
Visual examination
Vision is an important indicator for evaluating eye health. Guangzhou Eye Hospital can conduct visual inspection by various methods, such as common naked eye visual inspection and optometry.
The naked eye vision examination is the most commonly used method. Patients only need to read the standard chart on the projector or vision chart one by one, and doctors determine their vision according to the minimum standard that patients can see clearly.
Optometry is a more accurate visual inspection method. By using optometry and vision chart, doctors can correct the vision deviation of patients and make them see clearer images. Optometry can not only be used to diagnose vision problems such as ametropia, but also provide accurate degrees for patients to match glasses.
Intraocular pressure test
Intraocular pressure refers to the pressure within the eyeball. Intraocular pressure within the normal range is vital to the health of the eyes. In the ophthalmic hospital of Guangzhou, intraocular pressure is often measured by non-contact tonometer.
The non-contact tonometer is a painless and non-invasive testing instrument. It can indirectly assess the intraocular pressure level by sending air flow in the form of air bag to the eyeball, and measuring the reaction time and strength of air bag obstruction. This test is often used to detect and screen eye diseases such as glaucoma.
To sum up, the ophthalmic diagnosis and treatment in Guangzhou covers corneal examination, fundus examination, vision examination, intraocular pressure examination and other aspects. Patients can comprehensively assess and diagnose the health of their eyes through these examination items.
Conclusion: The examination items of Guangzhou ophthalmology include corneal examination, fundus examination, visual examination and intraocular pressure examination. Through these examinations, doctors can comprehensively assess the health of patients' eyes and provide corresponding diagnosis and treatment suggestions. Patients can choose the corresponding examination items according to their own needs and the doctor's suggestions to ensure the health of the eyes.
