What is Guangzhou Ophthalmology Slit Light Examination?
Guangzhou slit lamp ophthalmic examination is a common ophthalmic examination method. The slit lamp microscope is used to observe the anterior structure of the eye to help ophthalmologists diagnose and treat. The following will elaborate the relevant knowledge of slit lamp examination in Guangzhou ophthalmology from four aspects.
working principle
The slit lamp examination of Guangzhou Ophthalmology Department focuses the strong light on the anterior structure of the eye in an elliptical shape, such as cornea, iris, lens, etc., mainly through the optical system of the microscope. Doctors can adjust the brightness, angle and direction of the light to better observe different parts of the eye.
Slit lamp microscope usually includes a magnifying glass and a light source. Through the adjustment of the lens, doctors can obtain images with different magnification. This allows doctors to carefully observe the anterior structure of the eye to check for abnormalities or diseases.
Some ophthalmic hospitals in Guangzhou, such as Guangzhou Eye Hospital and Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, are equipped with advanced slit lamp microscope equipment to provide high-quality ophthalmic examination services.
application area
Guangzhou slit lamp ophthalmic examination is widely used in ophthalmic clinical diagnosis and treatment. The following are some common application areas:
1. Corneal examination: Slit lamp examination can help doctors check the corneal surface problems, such as inflammation, ulcer, scratch, etc. Doctors can diagnose diseases and guide treatment by observing the shape, transparency and surface condition of the cornea.
2. Intraocular pressure measurement: Slit lamp examination can also be used for intraocular pressure measurement, especially for the diagnosis of glaucoma and other eye diseases. The doctor can observe the depth of the anterior chamber, the position of the lens and the deformation of the iris to assess whether the intraocular pressure is normal.
3. Retinal examination: Slit lamp examination can also be used for retinal examination to observe the morphology, vascular conditions and pathological changes of the retina. Doctors can detect retinal holes, degeneration around retinal holes and other problems, as well as detect diabetic retinopathy and macular disease.
matters needing attention
Although Guangzhou slit lamp ophthalmology examination is a non-invasive examination method, there are still some precautions:
1. Clean eyes before inspection: eyes should be kept clean before slit lamp inspection. The eyes can be washed with clean water to ensure accurate inspection results.
2. Reasonable cooperation with the doctor: During the slit lamp inspection, the patient needs to cooperate with the doctor's guidance. The doctor may need to adjust the position and angle of the light source, and require the patient's eyes to focus on a specific direction or open their eyes.
3. Pay attention to the lighting environment: the slit lamp inspection needs to use a specific light source and microscope, so the inspection environment needs to be kept relatively dark. In addition, the doctor will use bright lights during the examination. The patient may feel glare, so please avoid looking directly at the light.
Summary
Guangzhou slit lamp ophthalmic examination is a common ophthalmic examination method. The slit lamp microscope is used to observe the anterior structure of the eye to help ophthalmologists diagnose and treat. Slit lamp examination is widely used in corneal examination, intraocular pressure measurement and retinal examination. Before receiving slit lamp examination, patients need to pay attention to cleaning their eyes, cooperating with doctors for examination, and paying attention to the lighting environment.
