Guangzhou Branch of Sun Yat sen University Eye Center: Treatment of common eye diseases
Guangzhou Branch of Sun Yat sen University Eye Center is a first-class hospital dedicated to the treatment and research of eye diseases. In this branch hospital, doctors provide comprehensive eye care for patients through advanced diagnostic technology and effective treatment methods. Next, we will introduce the treatment methods of common ophthalmic diseases in this hospital from four aspects: refractive abnormalities, ocular surface diseases, vitreoretinopathy and glaucoma treatment methods.
Ametropia
Refractive abnormalities include myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism, which means that the ocular refractive system cannot focus the light on the retina correctly. Guangzhou Branch of Sun Yat sen University Eye Center provides a variety of treatment methods for different refractive abnormalities.
For myopia patients, the hospital recommends excimer laser correction (LASIK) and corrective glasses. LASIK can correct the refractive abnormality by changing the shape of the cornea, and the postoperative recovery is fast and the effect is stable. For patients who cannot accept surgery, corrective glasses are a simple and effective choice.
Hyperopia patients usually use corrective glasses or contact lenses to correct their vision. For young people, the branch also provides excimer laser correction to treat hyperopia.
Astigmatism patients can improve their vision through corneal refractive surgery, corrective glasses or contact lenses. Corneal refractive surgery can change the curvature of a certain area of the cornea to correct astigmatism.
Ocular surface disease
Ocular surface disease refers to inflammation and damage on the surface of the eyeball, resulting in discomfort, redness, swelling, blurred vision and other problems. Guangzhou Branch of the Eye Center of Sun Yat sen University has accumulated rich experience in the treatment of ocular surface diseases.
Common ocular surface diseases include dry eye, conjunctivitis, corneal ulcer, etc. For patients with dry eye disease, the doctors in the branch hospital will take different treatment methods according to the severity of the disease, such as artificial tears, antibiotic eye drops, hot compress and massage.
The treatment of conjunctivitis mainly includes the selection of appropriate antibiotic eyedrops, as well as personal hygiene and prevention of infection. The treatment of corneal ulcer should be targeted according to the cause of the ulcer, such as eye drops, corneal patches or even surgery.
Vitreoretinopathy
Vitreoretinopathy refers to the disease of the vitreous or retina, which results in vision loss or visual field loss. The Guangzhou Branch of Sun Yat sen University Eye Center has advanced vitreoretinal treatment equipment and an experienced team of doctors.
For patients with vitreous opacity or bleeding, the hospital can perform vitreous surgery to remove the lesion and inject vitreous substitutes. Vitrectomy can restore vision and improve the quality of life of patients.
Diseases such as retinal holes and retinal detachment can also be repaired by surgery. The doctors in the branch hospital will select appropriate surgical methods according to the specific conditions of the patients, such as laser treatment, cryotherapy or surgical suture.
glaucoma
Glaucoma is a disease of optic nerve damage caused by high intraocular pressure. Timely diagnosis and treatment is essential for glaucoma patients. The Guangzhou Branch of Sun Yat sen University Eye Center has advanced glaucoma diagnosis and treatment equipment, and doctors can provide comprehensive glaucoma treatment.
Drug therapy is the first choice for glaucoma, which can control the disease progress by reducing intraocular pressure. The doctor of the branch hospital will select appropriate eyedrops or oral drugs according to the specific situation of the patient, and conduct regular follow-up.
For glaucoma patients who have further developed, the branch hospital provides glaucoma surgery. Surgical methods include laser therapy and surgical decompression. The operation can effectively control intraocular pressure and prevent optic nerve injury.
Summary
The Guangzhou Branch of the Eye Center of Sun Yat sen University provides treatment methods for a variety of common eye diseases. In terms of refractive abnormalities, myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism are corrected through surgery and corrective glasses. In terms of ocular surface diseases, different eyedrops and treatments are used to treat dry eye, conjunctivitis and corneal ulcer. In terms of vitreoretinopathy, surgery and treatment equipment are used to repair vitreoretinopathy. In glaucoma, the intraocular pressure is reduced through medication and surgery. The Guangzhou Branch of Sun Yat sen University Eye Center is committed to providing patients with the highest quality eye care, helping them restore their vision and improve their quality of life.
