How to prepare for eye examination?
Eye examination is an important part of protecting our eyesight and health, but we need to make some preparations before eye examination. The following will elaborate on Guangzhou's ophthalmic examination preparation from four aspects.
Wear contact lenses correctly
If you are a contact lens user, in order to ensure the accuracy of the inspection results, you need to stop using contact lenses for a period of time before the inspection. Generally speaking, hard contact lens users need to stop for 1-2 weeks before the examination, while soft contact lens users need to stop for 1-3 days before the examination. This is because contact lenses may change the shape of the cornea and affect the examination results.
In addition, be sure to bring your own contact lenses and related glasses cases, lens cleaning fluid and other items. During the examination, you may need to participate in some steps of glasses fitting, which are very important for you and the doctor.
Avoid staying up late and protecting eyes
Before eye examination, try to ensure adequate sleep and rest, and avoid staying up late. Staying up late will lead to eye fatigue and dryness, which is not conducive to the accuracy of the inspection results. If you feel blurred vision or eye discomfort, you should take a break in time, do eye exercises or apply warm water to your eyes to protect their health.
In addition, if you have recently used eyedrops or other eye medicines, you should inform your doctor before the examination. Some drugs may affect the results of eye examinations, and doctors need to make appropriate adjustments to your situation.
Go for examination on an empty stomach
For some items requiring fundus examination, such as optometry, intraocular pressure, etc., it is usually necessary to go to the examination on an empty stomach. This is because eating will lead to elevated intraocular pressure, which may affect the examination results.
Therefore, the night before these examinations, avoid eating a diet containing caffeine or other stimulants and try to keep an empty stomach. If you have special circumstances or need to take medicine, you should inform the doctor in advance and prepare according to the doctor's instructions.
Go to professional eye hospital
In Guangzhou, there are many professional ophthalmic hospitals, such as Guangzhou Zhongshan Eye Center, Guangzhou Medical University Affiliated Eye Hospital, etc. Choosing a regular eye hospital can better guarantee your examination quality and eye health.
Before going to the hospital, you can know the specific location of the hospital, the qualification and professionalism of the doctor, and the time of treatment in advance. This can help you better arrange your time and avoid unnecessary waiting and trouble.
During the ophthalmic examination, cooperation and patience should be maintained, and the examination and cooperation should be carried out according to the doctor's requirements. After the examination, discuss the results and follow-up treatment plans with the doctor.
summary
To prepare for ophthalmic examination, attention should be paid to wearing contact lenses, avoiding staying up late and taking eye care rest, going to the examination on an empty stomach and going to professional ophthalmic hospitals. These preparations can help us obtain accurate examination results and ensure eye health.
When preparing for ophthalmic examination, we should follow the doctor's instructions and cooperate with the hospital. Only in this way can we better understand our eye conditions, timely treatment and health care, and protect our visual health.
