What examinations can the ophthalmology department of Guangzhou Zhongshan District People's Hospital do?
Guangzhou Zhongshan District People's Hospital is a comprehensive hospital with modern ophthalmic equipment and professional medical care team. In the eye department of the hospital, patients can receive comprehensive eye examination and treatment services. The following will introduce in detail the examinations that can be done by the ophthalmology department of the hospital from four common aspects of ophthalmology.
Visual examination
Vision is one of the most basic functions of the eye. Ophthalmologists usually check their vision first. The examination uses common vision examination charts, such as Snellen chart, to assess the patients' far vision and near vision. The doctor will ask the patient to read the letters or numbers on the chart one by one, and determine the patient's vision according to the accuracy of reading.
In addition to routine vision examination, the hospital also provides fundus vision examination services. This examination uses professional instruments to observe the bottom of the eye, including retina, optic nerve and blood vessels. Through fundus vision inspection, ophthalmologists can detect fundus diseases, retinal detachment and other diseases, so as to find and treat problems as soon as possible.
In addition, eye examinations also include tests to identify and correct common eye problems such as amblyopia and strabismus.
Intraocular pressure measurement
IOP refers to the pressure inside the eyeball. Normal IOP is very important for the health of the eyes. Ophthalmologists usually take intraocular pressure measurements to diagnose and manage abnormal intraocular pressure, such as glaucoma and other diseases.
The common intraocular pressure measurement method is non-contact intraocular pressure measurement. Doctors will use professional instruments to scan and measure the eyes without touching the eye surface. This method is non-invasive, fast, and can accurately measure intraocular pressure.
Intraocular pressure measurement is an important means to detect and prevent glaucoma and other eye diseases as early as possible.
Corneal topography
Corneal topography is a common method to evaluate corneal curvature and morphology. Through this examination, the doctor can know whether the curvature and shape of the cornea are normal, and whether there is keratopathy.
Corneal topography examination uses professional equipment to image the cornea in high definition, and obtains accurate corneal curvature data through computer processing. The doctor can judge whether the patient has corneal diseases, such as myopia and astigmatism, according to the examination results, and formulate the corresponding treatment plan.
The corneal topography examination is of great significance in the pre evaluation and post operation effect monitoring of customized contact lenses, corneal shaping lenses and other corneal corrective operations.
Eye ultrasound
Ocular ultrasound is a method to observe and evaluate the structure of the eye by using ultrasound technology. This examination is applicable to patients with high intraocular pressure, blurred vision and other symptoms, and can help doctors find eye diseases, such as intraocular tumors, fundus hemorrhage, etc.
Eye ultrasound can observe the state of eye tissues and structures through the penetration of sound waves, and obtain high-definition images. Doctors can judge the nature and severity of eye lesions according to the examination results, and formulate corresponding treatment plans.
To sum up, the Ophthalmology Department of Guangzhou Zhongshan District People's Hospital provides a variety of eye examination services, including vision examination, intraocular pressure measurement, corneal topography examination and eye ultrasound examination. These examinations are helpful for early detection of eye diseases and timely treatment. Patients can safely choose the ophthalmic department of the hospital to obtain professional and comprehensive eye health management.
