1. Meaning and process of optometry
Optometry is an important part of routine ophthalmic examination, which is used to assess patients' vision, diopter and eye health. Through optometry, you can determine whether you need to wear glasses or contact lenses, and adjust the degree to meet different visual needs.
The optometry process includes vision examination, diopter examination and eye health assessment. First, doctors will use vision charts (such as Snellen chart) to test patients' far and near vision. Then, the doctor will use an automatic optometer or a manual optometer to check the patient's diopter, including spherical mirror, cylindrical mirror and axial position. Finally, doctors will use a magnifying microscope to check the health of the eyeball, including the anterior segment, fundus and intraocular pressure.
The whole optometry process usually takes about 30 minutes, and patients can get optometry report and glasses advice immediately after examination.
2. Ophthalmic optometry price of a hospital in Guangzhou
Taking a well-known public hospital in Guangzhou as an example, the price of ophthalmic optometry in this hospital is relatively reasonable. The specific price varies according to different inspection items:
1. Basic vision examination: about 50 yuan.
2. Fundus examination: about 100 yuan.
3. Automatic optometer inspection: about 150 yuan.
4. Manual optometer inspection: about 200 yuan.
According to the specific conditions and needs of the patient, the doctor may also recommend other examinations, such as anterior segment, optometry lens, contact lens fitting, etc. The cost will vary depending on the complexity of the project.
3. Precautions for ophthalmic optometry
Before accepting ophthalmic optometry, patients need to pay attention to the following points:
1. Stop using contact lenses: If patients wear contact lenses, they should stop using them the day before optometry to avoid affecting optometry results.
2. Bring the optometry report and glasses: if the patient has had optometry or worn glasses before, they should bring the optometry report and glasses for the doctor to compare and adjust.
3. Follow the doctor's instructions: In the optometry process, the patient should actively cooperate with the doctor's instructions, such as eye gaze, vision chart reading, etc.
4. Inform the doctor of special circumstances: if the patient has any special circumstances, such as eye pain, sudden loss of vision, etc., the doctor should be informed in a timely manner.
4. Interpretation of optometry results and glasses matching suggestions
The optometry results are usually interpreted and suggested by doctors, including the following aspects:
1. Vision condition: according to the vision test results, the doctor will tell the patient about the far and near vision.
2. Diopter: The doctor will tell the patient about the spherical mirror, cylindrical mirror and axial position, as well as whether there is astigmatism and other problems according to the diopter test results.
3. Eye health: Through eye health assessment, doctors can judge whether there are anterior segment diseases, fundus abnormalities and intraocular pressure abnormalities.
According to the above results, the doctor will give specific advice on glasses, including the degree, lens type and frame style. At the same time, the doctor will also provide suitable glasses or contact lens options according to the patient's lifestyle and needs.
summary
Through ophthalmic optometry, the patient's vision, diopter and eye health can be objectively evaluated, and accurate degrees and lens types can be provided for wearing glasses or contact lenses. The optometry price of a hospital in Guangzhou is relatively reasonable. Before receiving optometry, patients need to stop using contact lenses and prepare optometry reports and lenses in advance. Finally, doctors will give advice on glasses matching based on optometry results to help patients choose suitable glasses or contact lenses.
