What examinations does Guangzhou ophthalmology need to do?
Ophthalmic examination is a comprehensive examination and evaluation of the eyes to help doctors understand the patient's eye health. If you need to see an eye doctor in Guangzhou, here are some common eye examination items to help you better understand your eye problems.
Visual examination
Vision examination is one of the common examination items in ophthalmology. It is mainly to evaluate the vision of patients by letting them read letter charts of different distances and sizes. In Guangzhou, almost all eye hospitals and clinics provide vision examination services. Doctors usually ask patients to wear corrective glasses, and then ask them to read the alphabet at different distances one by one. According to the patient's performance, the doctor can determine whether the patient's vision is normal, and prescribe glasses or contact lenses for the patient as needed.
In addition to routine distance vision inspection, doctors can also conduct other types of vision inspection, such as myopia inspection, hyperopia inspection, astigmatism inspection, etc. These examinations can help doctors to further evaluate patients' vision problems and determine the appropriate treatment plan.
Intraocular pressure test
IOP examination is also one of the common ophthalmic examinations, which is mainly used to screen and diagnose glaucoma and other eye diseases. In Guangzhou, the intraocular pressure is usually checked with a special tonometer. The doctor will measure the pressure inside the eyeball by applying a certain amount of air pressure to the patient's eyeball. Under normal circumstances, the intraocular pressure should be within the normal range. If the intraocular pressure is abnormally high or low, it may be a sign of eye disease or other eye problems. If the intraocular pressure is too high, further examination may be required to rule out the possibility of glaucoma and other eye diseases.
Fundus examination
Fundus examination can assess the patient's eye health by observing the state of fundus blood vessels and retina. In the ophthalmic hospitals in Guangzhou, fundus examination is usually carried out through equipment such as optoscope and fundus inspector. The doctor will place some eyedrops in the pupil of the patient to expand the pupil, and use professional equipment to observe the blood vessels and retina of the fundus. Through fundus examination, doctors can detect and evaluate eye diseases, such as retinal hemorrhage, vitreous hemorrhage, macular degeneration, etc. In addition, fundus examination can also help to assess the condition of fundus blood vessels of patients and understand whether patients are at risk of hypertension, diabetes and other systemic diseases.
Corneal topography
Corneal topography is a special method to evaluate corneal shape and curvature. Cornea is the front transparent tissue of the human eye. Its shape and curvature have an important impact on vision. In the eye hospital of Guangzhou, corneal topography examination is carried out by using corneal topography instrument and other equipment. The doctor will apply some dye on the patient's eyes and use special equipment to scan the corneal surface. Through corneal topography examination, doctors can determine whether the patient's corneal shape is normal, and evaluate whether there are corneal diseases, such as corneal deformity, corneal scar, etc. According to the examination results, doctors can formulate corresponding treatment plans for patients, such as corneal correction surgery, corneal transplantation, etc.
Summary:
In Guangzhou to see the ophthalmology department, patients need to carry out a number of examinations to assess their eye health. Vision examination is the most basic examination item, which can help to assess patients' vision problems and whether they need to wear glasses. Intraocular pressure examination and fundus examination can help to screen and diagnose eye diseases, especially glaucoma. The corneal topography can evaluate the shape and curvature of the cornea, which is of great significance for the diagnosis and treatment of corneal diseases. Through these examinations, doctors can better understand the patient's eye health and give corresponding treatment suggestions and programs. Therefore, Guangzhou Eye Hospital provides a series of comprehensive eye examinations to provide patients with the best eye care.
