What examinations should be done in Zhongshan Eye Department for further consultation?
Zhongshan Ophthalmology Hospital is a professional ophthalmic hospital in Guangzhou, providing comprehensive ophthalmic diagnosis and treatment services. For patients, it is very important to carry out a series of ophthalmic examinations during the follow-up visit, so as to assess the eye condition and develop a suitable treatment plan. In Zhongshan ophthalmology department, the following examinations are usually required:
Visual examination
Vision examination is one of the most common examination items in ophthalmic follow-up. Through the vision examination, the ophthalmologist can understand the patient's vision level, so as to assess whether there is a problem with vision. Vision examination usually adopts projection method. Patients need to watch letters or figures at a certain distance and report what they see. The doctor will judge whether the patient's vision is normal according to the vision results reported by the patient.
In addition to routine far vision examination, ophthalmologists may also perform near vision examination to understand the vision of patients when observing objects at close distance. Considering the results of far vision and near vision, ophthalmologists can more accurately assess the vision problems of patients and put forward corresponding treatment suggestions.
Intraocular pressure test
Intraocular pressure test is one of the common items in ophthalmic follow-up. Intraocular pressure refers to the pressure exerted on the eye wall by the fluid in the eyeball, which is one of the important indicators to evaluate whether a patient has glaucoma. The intraocular pressure can be checked by air blowing or contact method.
Blowing intraocular pressure (IOP) is a common method. The IOP is evaluated by aiming a stream of air at the cornea, and then measuring the speed and strength of corneal rebound. Contact IOP is measured by placing a pressure measuring pen on the cornea, which is relatively more accurate.
Fundus examination
Fundus examination is an essential part of ophthalmic follow-up. By observing the fundus, ophthalmologists can understand the condition of the patient's retina, optic nerve and fundus blood vessels to assess whether the patient has retinal disease, optic neuropathy or other fundus problems.
Fundus examination usually requires the use of special instruments, such as eyeglasses or fundus cameras. The doctor will use liquid medicine to expand the pupil of the patient, and then use these instruments to observe and take images of the fundus. Through the analysis of fundus images, doctors can determine whether there is fundus disease and formulate corresponding treatment plans.
Optometry
Optometry is another important examination item in ophthalmic follow-up. Through optometry, ophthalmologists can understand the patient's diopter, that is, the eye's ability to focus light. This is very important for preparing the correct glasses or contact lenses.
The optometry examination usually includes automatic optometry and manual optometry. Automatic optometry is often used to measure the patient's diopter through automatic instruments in the case of progressive myopia. Manual optometry requires doctors to use a special tool to adjust the lenses of different degrees step by step to determine the patient's diopter.
Summary
Vision examination, intraocular pressure examination, fundus examination and optometry are common examinations in Zhongshan Eye Department. Through these examinations, ophthalmologists can fully understand the patient's eye conditions in order to develop appropriate treatment plans. These examinations can not only evaluate the vision problems of patients, but also exclude or diagnose eye diseases and improve the treatment effect.
The examination items for ophthalmic follow-up may vary according to the specific situation of the patient. Therefore, it is recommended that the patient make an appointment with the hospital in advance and consult the doctor about the tests that need to be done before going back to the hospital. This will make better preparation and ensure the smooth progress of the follow-up visit.
