Can Zhongshan ophthalmic optometry be isolated?
Ophthalmic optometry is a common examination item, which helps doctors judge whether patients have vision problems or eye diseases by measuring and evaluating the vision and refraction of the eyes. Zhongshan Ophthalmology is a professional ophthalmic hospital. Can Zhongshan Ophthalmology optometry be performed during isolation? The following is detailed from four aspects.
Aspect 1: Characteristics of optometry process
The ophthalmic optometry process mainly includes visual acuity examination, diopter examination, eye position examination, etc. These examinations usually require close contact with the patient, such as asking the patient's vision condition one by one, the use of glasses or contact lenses, etc. At the same time, in the diopter test, optometry instruments are also needed to observe and measure the patient's eyes closely.
Therefore, according to the characteristics of the examination process, ophthalmic optometry has obvious close contact, which is easy to cause the risk of cross infection, especially during the epidemic. In order to ensure the safety of patients and medical staff, Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department may suspend routine optometry services during the epidemic.
Aspect 2: Special treatment in case of emergency
However, emergency treatment may be required in some cases of ophthalmic examination, such as acute eye infection, sudden vision loss, etc. In this case, Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department may adjust according to the urgency to ensure the patient's eye health.
For patients who need emergency treatment, Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department may take the following measures to reduce the risk of infection:
1. Disinfection and isolation measures shall be taken according to strict prevention and control standards to ensure the safety of medical staff and patients;
2. Shorten the examination time, reduce the time of close contact, and reduce the risk of infection;
3. Optimize appointments and process arrangements, reduce personnel gathering, and ensure social distance;
Aspect 3: Development of network diagnosis and treatment
In the face of special circumstances during the epidemic, medical institutions actively promote the development of online diagnosis and treatment. Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department may also realize some non emergency examination and consultation services through remote consultation, so as to reduce the risk of personnel mobility and cross infection.
Through online diagnosis and treatment, patients can use mobile phones or computers for online consultation, and medical staff can understand the patient's condition according to pictures or videos, and give guidance or suggestions. Although it cannot replace all examination items, online diagnosis and treatment provides convenient solutions to a certain extent, and also reduces the risks of patients and medical personnel.
Aspect 4: Summary
To sum up, Zhongshan ophthalmic optometry may suspend routine services during the epidemic. Under special circumstances, it may take a series of prevention and control measures to check patients who need emergency treatment, and provide services for non emergency patients through online diagnosis and treatment. This program aims to ensure the safety of patients and medical staff and reduce the risk of cross infection.
Therefore, the optometry service of Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department during the epidemic period may be different from that at ordinary times. Please consult the hospital in advance or obtain relevant information by other means when necessary. At the same time, everyone should also maintain good personal hygiene habits and reduce going out to reduce the risk of infection.
