Four preoperative examinations in Guangzhou Zhongshan Eye Hospital

Guangzhou Zhongshan Eye Hospital is the only comprehensive eye hospital in Guangzhou. It has advanced examination equipment and professional medical care team to provide comprehensive eye health services for patients. Before ophthalmic surgery, doctors usually conduct four examinations before surgery to ensure that the patients' eyes are suitable for surgery and prevent risks and complications during and after surgery.

Detailed inquiry of ophthalmic history

During the preoperative examination, the doctor will ask the patient about the ophthalmic history in detail. This includes the patient's past disease, surgical history, vision changes and other relevant information. The medical history of ophthalmology is very important for the decision-making of surgery and postoperative rehabilitation. The doctor will assess the risk of surgery according to the patient's medical history and formulate corresponding treatment plans.

In addition, the doctor will also ask whether the patient has diabetes, hypertension and other chronic diseases, because these diseases will affect the eyes, and relevant blood tests and fundus examinations need to be carried out before surgery.

Visual acuity examination and intraocular pressure measurement

Vision examination is one of the important links of the four preoperative examinations. The doctor will ask the patient to wear appropriate corrective glasses, and check the naked eye vision, corrected vision and binocular vision difference of the patient through various vision charts and tests.

Intraocular pressure measurement is a common method to check the intraocular pressure. The common methods include non-contact tonometer, metal contact tonometer, etc. The normal range of intraocular pressure is 10-21 mmHg. If the intraocular pressure is too high, it may increase the risk of glaucoma.

Fundus examination and corneal topography

Fundus examination is one of the important means to check eye diseases. Doctors use magnifying glass and special light to observe the fundus blood vessels, optic disc and retina. Fundus examination can detect fundus diseases, macular degeneration, retinal detachment and other diseases for timely treatment.

Corneal topography is one of the important components of preoperative examination, which scans the shape of the corneal surface through professional instruments to assess the health status, curvature and other parameters of the cornea. Corneal topography can help doctors choose suitable surgical methods, such as laser surgery for myopia (LASIK), corneal shaping lens, etc.

Consultation with ophthalmologists

During preoperative examination, ophthalmologists will conduct detailed assessment and consultation according to the examination results and individual conditions of patients. The doctor will comprehensively consider the patient's eye condition, surgical indications, surgical risks and other factors, explain the feasibility of surgery and the expected effect after surgery to the patient, and patiently answer the patient's questions.

To sum up, the four pre-operative examinations of Guangzhou Zhongshan Eye Hospital include ophthalmic history inquiry, vision examination and intraocular pressure measurement, fundus examination and corneal topography, and consultation with ophthalmologists. Through these examinations, doctors can fully understand the patient's eye conditions and develop a reasonable operation plan to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the operation.
