Treatment of myopia in Wuhan Union Medical College Eye Hospital
Wuhan Union Medical College Opposite Eye Hospital is committed to providing high-quality ophthalmic treatment services, providing a variety of effective myopia treatment methods for patients. The following four aspects will be described in detail respectively from the perspective of ophthalmic correction, corneal plastic lens, drug treatment and surgical treatment.
Ophthalmic correction
Glasses are the most common correction tool for myopia. For patients with mild to moderate myopia, wearing correct myopia glasses can effectively improve vision problems. By accurately measuring the patient's diopter and formulating the corresponding prescription for glasses, glasses can help patients see distant objects clearly and correct the problem of blurred vision. The glasses are made of lenses of appropriate materials, which can provide comfortable visual experience.
Myopic glasses can not only correct vision problems, but also prevent further increase of myopia. Regular eye examination and annual replacement of glasses according to the recommendations of ophthalmologists can effectively control the progress of myopia.
Keratoscope
Corneal plastic lens is a non-invasive treatment for myopia without surgery. It corrects vision problems by placing special hard or soft contact lenses in front of the cornea and changing the shape of the cornea. Patients wear this special contact lens before going to bed at night, and apply appropriate pressure on the cornea to shape, so as to achieve the effect of correcting myopia.
The course of treatment of corneal plastic lens is generally worn every day, but different patients may have different conditions. Once the corneal shape of the eye remains stable, the patient can wear it every other period of time to maintain vision. This treatment method does not need to wear glasses or contact lenses in the daytime. It is an effective choice for those patients who are unable or unwilling to often correct their vision.
medication
Wuhan Union Medical College Opposite Eye Hospital also provides the choice of medication for myopia. Studies have shown that specific drugs can slow down the growth of the anterior chamber and lens of the eye, thereby reducing the progression of myopia. These drugs are usually used in the form of eyedrops, which are dropped into the eyes every day.
Drug treatment is usually applied to children and adolescents because their eyes are still in the development stage. The effect of treatment will vary according to the situation of each patient. Therefore, before the use of drug treatment, the doctor will carry out a detailed eye examination and evaluation of the patient and develop a personalized treatment plan.
surgical treatment
Surgical treatment is a feasible option for patients with high myopia or who cannot be effectively corrected by other methods. At present, in Wuhan Union Medical College Opposite Eye Hospital, the commonly used surgical treatment methods include corneal refractive surgery and lens replacement surgery.
Corneal refractive surgery is suitable for myopia patients with low diopter. The shape of the cornea is corrected by laser, and the focus of light is changed, so as to achieve the effect of correcting myopia. Lens replacement surgery is suitable for patients with high diopter or adults. During surgery, the doctor will replace the patient's natural lens with an intraocular lens to change the diopter of the eye and correct myopia.
Summary
Wuhan Union Medical College Opposite Eye Hospital has provided a variety of effective treatment methods for myopia patients through four aspects: glasses correction, corneal shaping lens, drug treatment and surgical treatment. For myopic patients of different degrees and ages, doctors will formulate the most suitable treatment scheme according to their personal conditions. Patients can choose the most appropriate treatment according to their own needs and doctors' suggestions to help improve vision and control the progress of myopia.
