Does the medical optometry in Zhongshan Eye Hospital require fasting

As a professional eye hospital, Zhongshan Eye Hospital has advanced equipment and professional medical care team to provide patients with comprehensive eye examination and treatment services. In ophthalmic examination, medical optometry is a very common and important examination item. But is it necessary to have medical optometry on an empty stomach? Next, we will elaborate on this issue from different perspectives.

Whether medical optometry is required on an empty stomach

1. Preparation before optometry

Before medical optometry, some preparations are usually required to ensure the accuracy and effectiveness of the examination. For example, patients need to remove contact lenses because contact lenses may interfere with optometry results. In addition, the doctor will also ask the patient whether he or she has an empty stomach or eats too much to understand the patient's physical state. However, there is no explicit requirement that patients need an empty stomach.

2. Optometry adapted to people

Medical optometry is mainly used to assess patients' vision and eye health. It is generally applicable to people of all ages, whether children or adults. Therefore, an empty stomach is not required for medical optometry in general.

3. Medical optometry under special circumstances

In some special cases, patients may need to have medical optometry on an empty stomach. For example, if the examination of pupil dilation is required, the patient needs to receive eye drops of pupil dilation drugs. This drug will affect the pupil's contraction and adjustment ability, thus affecting the optometry results. In this case, the doctor may ask the patient to come for examination on an empty stomach to avoid the influence of food on drug absorption and pupil dilation.

Suggestions of Zhongshan Eye Hospital

According to the recommendations of Zhongshan Eye Hospital, under normal circumstances, medical optometry does not require an empty stomach. However, in order to ensure the accuracy of the examination, patients should still follow the guidance and requirements of the doctor. If special examination is required, the doctor will inform the patient of relevant precautions in advance, including whether an empty stomach is required. When making an appointment for an examination, patients can ask the hospital staff whether they need an empty stomach and make corresponding preparations according to the doctor's suggestions.

Summary

To sum up, the general medical optometry of Zhongshan Eye Hospital does not require an empty stomach. However, in special cases, such as when the pupil dilation test is required, the patient may need an empty stomach. Before medical optometry, patients should make corresponding preparations according to the doctor's guidance and requirements to ensure the accuracy and effectiveness of the examination.
