Detailed explanation of optometry flow chart
Optometry is a very important process in ophthalmic hospitals. Through optometry, we can know the vision of patients and whether they need glasses or contact lenses. Next, we will introduce the steps of optometry in Guangzhou Eye Hospital in detail.
Initial diagnosis and consultation
Before ophthalmic optometry is performed in Guangzhou Eye Hospital, patients need to be initially diagnosed and inquired. The initial diagnosis is mainly a preliminary examination of the patient's eyes by the doctor to see if there is any obvious eye problem. Inquiries are the communication between doctors and patients to understand their subjective feelings and symptoms, such as blurred vision, eye pain, etc.
In the process of initial diagnosis and consultation, doctors will record the patient's personal information, such as age, gender, occupation, etc., which are very important references for subsequent optometry.
Vision measurement
Next, the doctor will measure the patient's vision. The first is the naked eye vision measurement. The patient needs to look at the vision chart at a certain distance away from himself. The doctor will block different letters or numbers one by one for the patient to read. The naked eye vision measurement can preliminarily understand the vision of patients.
After that, the doctor will equip the patient with appropriate glasses and continue to perform vision measurement. This step is called corrective vision measurement, which can accurately understand the degree that the patient needs to be corrected.
Through vision measurement, doctors can obtain the vision values of patients, that is, naked vision and corrected vision. These data will be used in the subsequent optometry process.
Automatic optometer inspection
Automatic refractometer is a kind of equipment commonly used in modern ophthalmic hospitals. It can determine the degree of the patient's eyes through automatic measurement, calculation and analysis. In Guangzhou Eye Hospital, the automatic optometer is an indispensable step in the optometry process.
The patient needs to sit in front of the auto refractometer, place his chin on the bracket, and focus on the point in the center of the screen. The instrument will automatically send a series of light signals to the patient. By measuring the refraction and interference of light, it will automatically calculate the patient's diopter and astigmatism, and make corresponding vision correction.
The results of the auto refractometer examination will be referred to by doctors and patients to determine whether glasses are needed and the degree and type of glasses.
Optometry conclusions and suggestions
After the above steps, the doctor will draw an optometry conclusion and corresponding suggestions according to the patient's vision value, degree and special conditions of the eye.
The optometry conclusion is a summary of the patient's eye conditions, such as myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, etc. The suggestion is the specific requirements for the patient's glasses or contact lenses, including the degree, lens material and wearing method.
After giving optometry conclusions and suggestions, the doctor will give a detailed explanation to the patient, so that the patient can understand their eye problems and possible treatment plans, so as to help the patient make correct decisions.

The optometry process of Guangzhou Eye Hospital can comprehensively and accurately understand the patient's eye condition through initial diagnosis and inquiry, vision measurement, automatic optometer inspection, optometry conclusions and suggestions and other steps.
