Advanced technology in ophthalmology of the Third Hospital of Zhongshan, Guangzhou
Guangzhou Zhongshan Third Hospital is a comprehensive hospital located in Guangzhou. Its ophthalmic department has been committed to introducing and promoting advanced ophthalmic technology to provide patients with high-quality and personalized medical services. The following will introduce the advanced ophthalmic technology of the hospital from four aspects: vision correction surgery, cataract surgery, fundus disease diagnosis and treatment, and corneal disease treatment.
1. Vision correction surgery
The Department of Ophthalmology of Guangzhou Zhongshan Third Hospital has introduced internationally leading laser refractive surgery equipment, including LASIK and PRK. LASIK is a kind of surgery that uses laser to cut and reshape the corneal surface. It is widely used in the correction of myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. PRK is a kind of laser surgery that peels off the corneal epithelium layer by layer and reconstructs it. Both of these operations can effectively improve patients' vision, and recover quickly and safely after surgery.
In addition, the Department of Ophthalmology of the Third Hospital of Zhongshan, Guangzhou, also introduced the lens replacement surgery for the elderly, which is an operation to replace the aging lens through the intraocular lens. Lens replacement can significantly improve the vision of elderly patients and improve their quality of life.
The hospital also carried out corneal circumcision and transplantation, which is an operation aimed at improving corneal morphology. Through corneal circumcision, doctors can adjust the curvature of the cornea to correct myopia and astigmatism. Corneal transplantation is to replace damaged corneal tissue with healthy tissue of the donor for the treatment of some corneal diseases.
2. Cataract surgery
Phacoemulsification and intraocular lens replacement technology were used in the cataract surgery of the Department of Ophthalmology of the Third Hospital of Zhongshan, Guangzhou, which is efficient, accurate and safe. Phacoemulsification is a surgical technique that breaks up and aspirates the cataract tissue with ultrasound, which can protect the normal structure of other parts of the eye to the greatest extent. Intraocular lens replacement refers to the implantation of intraocular lens into the eye to replace the emulsified and aspirated cataract lens, so as to restore the patient's vision.
The Department of Ophthalmology of the Third Hospital of Zhongshan in Guangzhou also promoted the high-precision intraocular multifocal intraocular lens implantation surgery, which can enable patients to obtain clear vision in the long, medium and short distance at the same time, without wearing glasses. In addition, femtosecond laser cataract surgery was introduced, which is one of the most advanced cataract surgery technologies. Through laser, cataract tissue can be more accurately separated and destroyed, and the safety and effect of surgery can be improved.
3. Diagnosis and treatment of fundus diseases
The Department of Ophthalmology of Guangzhou Zhongshan Third Hospital has domestic first-class diagnostic equipment for fundus diseases, such as OCT, fundus fluorescein angiography, etc., which can accurately diagnose fundus diseases, including macular disease, glaucoma, retinal detachment, etc. At the same time, the hospital also promoted anti VEGF treatment, which is a technology to inhibit abnormal vascular growth by injecting drugs, and is widely used in diseases such as wet age-related macular degeneration.
In addition, the Department of Ophthalmology of the Third Hospital of Zhongshan, Guangzhou, also adopted the photodynamic therapy technology, which uses photosensitizers to inject into the patient's body, and then uses laser beams to irradiate the fundus lesions to destroy abnormal tissues through the photothermal effect. This treatment method has achieved good results in the treatment of diabetic retinopathy, choroidal neovascularization and other diseases.
4. Corneal treatment
The treatment of corneal diseases in the Department of Ophthalmology of Zhongshan Third Hospital in Guangzhou includes corneal transplantation and keratoplasty. Corneal transplantation refers to transplanting healthy corneal tissue onto damaged cornea to restore vision. The advanced technologies adopted by the hospital include surface Svenkin knife surgery, anterior chamber keratoplasty and full-thickness keratoplasty, which can meet the needs of patients with different types of corneal diseases.
Keratoplasty is to change the corneal shape through customized corneal shaping lenses to correct visual problems such as myopia. The hospital has introduced the latest corneal shaping lenses, which enable patients to wear lenses at night. By applying pressure on the cornea, they do not need to wear glasses or contact lenses during the day.
Summary
The Department of Ophthalmology of Guangzhou Zhongshan Third Hospital focuses on providing advanced ophthalmic technology, covering vision correction surgery, cataract surgery, fundus disease diagnosis and treatment, corneal disease treatment and other aspects. Through the introduction of internationally leading equipment and technology, the hospital provides high-quality personalized medical services for patients, enabling them to restore their vision and improve their quality of life.
