Methods of treating myopia
Myopia is a common ophthalmic disease, which brings a lot of inconvenience to people's life. In Guangzhou Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department, there are many treatment methods to choose from. This article will introduce these treatment methods in detail from four aspects: ophthalmic correction, corneal plastic lens, drug treatment and surgical treatment.
Ophthalmic correction
Glasses are one of the most common ways to correct myopia. By wearing myopia glasses, you can adjust the focus position of the light to make the vision clear. Glasses correction has the advantages of convenient use and relatively low price, which is suitable for myopia patients of almost all ages. Guangzhou Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department provides comprehensive glasses matching services, and professional ophthalmologists will prepare appropriate glasses according to the patient's ophthalmic examination results and personal needs.
However, glasses correction can not cure myopia, it is only a means of correction. Some people may not adapt to glasses, feel tired eyes, and may also lead to decreased vision. Therefore, some patients choose to look for other treatments.
Keratoscope
Corneal shaping lens is a special contact lens, which can correct myopia by optically changing the corneal surface. Guangzhou Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department can provide precisely made corneal shaping lenses with excellent vision correction effect. The patient wears a corneal shaping lens at night, and can obtain clear vision after removal in the daytime, without using any other corrective means.
However, corneal plastic lenses need regular cleaning and maintenance, and are not suitable for everyone. Some patients may not be suitable to wear corneal shaping glasses due to eye shape, dry eyes and other reasons. Before choosing this treatment, patients need to go through a comprehensive ophthalmic examination to confirm their adaptability.
medication
Drug therapy is a relatively new method to treat myopia. At present, a drug called low-dose atropine eye drops is used by Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department in Guangzhou to treat myopia. This eyedrop can dilate the pupils and slow down the progress of myopia.
Although the drug treatment has a certain effect, it is still in the stage of research and experiment, and has a large individual difference. At the same time, the drug may cause some side effects, such as blurred vision, dry eyes, etc. Therefore, drug treatment in Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department in Guangzhou is only applicable to specific patients and requires accurate judgment and guidance from doctors.
surgical treatment
For some specific myopic patients, surgery is a feasible option. Intravitreous injection and corneal refractive surgery are two common surgical methods. Intravitreous injection therapy changes the growth of the eyeball by injecting drugs, and achieves the treatment of myopia. Corneal refractive surgery is to correct the refractive state of the eye through laser technology, so as to improve vision.
However, surgical treatment needs to be carried out under the guidance of doctors, and patients need to do comprehensive pre examination and preoperative examination. Although surgical treatment has achieved remarkable results, due to individual differences and the risks of surgery itself, patients need to consider carefully before making decisions.
Summary
Guangzhou Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department provides a variety of treatment methods for myopia, including glasses correction, corneal plastic lens, medication and surgery. Glasses correction is the most common way, which can adjust the focus position of light, but it cannot cure myopia. Corneal shaping lens is a special kind of contact lens, which can achieve the correction effect by changing the corneal surface. The drug treatment is currently in the experimental stage and should be carefully selected. Surgical treatment is applicable to specific patients and requires accurate judgment and guidance from doctors.
Patients should make reasonable decisions according to their own conditions when choosing treatment methods, and at the same time follow the advice and guidance of doctors. More importantly, we should carry out eye examination regularly to detect and treat myopia as soon as possible, so as to protect the health of the eyes.
