How do ophthalmologists in Guangzhou deal with eye pain?
Eye pain is one of the common symptoms in ophthalmology, which brings great inconvenience and trouble to patients. In Guangzhou, many eye hospitals have special emergency departments, and the staff will carefully examine and deal with patients according to their symptoms and diseases. The measures and methods for Guangzhou ophthalmologists to deal with eye pain will be described in detail from four aspects.
1. Medical history record and initial diagnosis
For patients who come to see the doctor, Guangzhou ophthalmology staff will first conduct a detailed medical history inquiry to understand the onset time, nature and accompanying symptoms of the patients' eye pain. This is helpful for the staff to preliminarily judge the possible disease type. Subsequently, the staff will carry out a preliminary examination of the eye, including visual inspection, intraocular pressure measurement, anterior chamber, fundus and other routine examinations. These examinations are helpful to determine the basic conditions and possible causes of eye pain.
If the cause of the disease cannot be determined in the initial diagnosis, Guangzhou ophthalmology staff will further arrange relevant examinations, such as eye ultrasound, fundus angiography, etc., to help diagnose the disease and carry out targeted treatment.
2. Give appropriate painkillers
Eye pain causes a lot of inconvenience to the life and work of patients, so Guangzhou ophthalmology staff will give appropriate pain relief drugs to alleviate the pain of patients. According to the condition and individual differences of patients, oral or eye pain relievers can be selected. Generally, over-the-counter non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or local anesthetic eyedrops (such as Shulu Eye Drops) can alleviate eye pain. However, for special cases, such as severe pain symptoms such as corneal ulcer, Guangzhou ophthalmologists will choose more effective analgesic measures, such as local anesthetic ointment or analgesic injection, according to the specific situation.
3. Treatment for etiology
Eye pain may be a symptom of many diseases. The key to treatment is to find and treat the cause. Guangzhou ophthalmologists will formulate specific treatment plans based on the results of the initial examination and further specialized examinations.
For example, if eye pain is caused by conjunctivitis, the staff will give antibiotic eyedrops or ointment to control the inflammation. If the eye pain is caused by dry eye, you need to strengthen moisturizing care, and use artificial tears or other eye moisturizers. In addition, if eye pain is caused by corneal ulcer, dacryocystitis and other diseases, surgery or other special treatment measures may be required.
4. Regular follow-up and postoperative care
The treatment of eye pain should not end with a single visit. Regular follow-up visits are very important for the continuous control of the disease and the evaluation of the effect. Guangzhou ophthalmology staff will adjust the treatment plan according to the treatment progress, and regularly follow up the patients. If the patient has received surgical treatment, the staff will also provide postoperative nursing guidance, including precautions such as using eye drops and avoiding eye irritation, to promote the recovery of the patient.
To sum up, Guangzhou ophthalmology staff will conduct medical history records and initial diagnosis and examination when dealing with eye pain, give appropriate pain relief drugs, treat the causes, and conduct regular follow-up visits and postoperative care. Their professional knowledge and meticulous work attitude can effectively relieve patients' pain and improve their quality of life.
