Treatment of myopia
Shanghai Eye Hospital is a hospital specializing in ophthalmic diagnosis and treatment and ophthalmic surgery. For myopia, a common ophthalmic problem, Shanghai Eye Hospital has provided a variety of treatment methods, which will be described in detail in the following four aspects: glasses correction, contact lenses, corneal shaping lenses and laser surgery.
Ophthalmic correction
Glasses correction is one of the most common treatment methods for myopia. By wearing myopia glasses, vision can be corrected through the concave surface of concave lens. The ophthalmologist of Shanghai Eye Hospital will formulate a suitable prescription for myopia glasses according to the vision test results of patients. With the progress of science and technology, myopia glasses have become lighter and thinner, making the wearing experience of patients more comfortable. While using glasses for correction, the doctor will also advise patients to carry out eye exercises and eye massage to improve eye fatigue.
The advantage of glasses correction is that it is easy to use, the effect is immediate, and other eye problems, such as astigmatism, can be corrected at the same time. However, compared with other myopia correction methods, glasses can not cure myopia. They can only improve vision through external help, so they need to be worn for a long time.
contact lenses
Contact lenses are an alternative treatment for myopia. Compared with glasses, contact lenses attached directly to the eyeball can not only correct vision, but also improve appearance. Shanghai Eye Hospital provides a variety of contact lens options, such as soft contact lenses and hard contact lenses. The doctor will select the appropriate contact lens type for patients according to their eye conditions and needs.
The advantage of contact lenses is that they are comfortable to use and do not affect the appearance, especially for people who do not like wearing glasses. But for people who are not used to wearing contact lenses, it may take some time to adapt to their use.
Keratoscope
Corneal plastic lens is a special way to correct myopia. It is a rigid contact lens that corrects myopia by changing the shape of the corneal surface. The ophthalmologists of Shanghai Ophthalmology Hospital will formulate personalized corneal shaping lens formula according to the corneal morphology of each patient. The patient wears this lens at night, and the lens will shape the cornea during sleep. When the patient took off the lens in the morning, the shape of the cornea had changed, thus maintaining good vision throughout the day.
The advantage of corneal plastic lens is that it has obvious therapeutic effect, and no need to wear any corrective appliances in the daytime, which is suitable for people who need good vision for a long time. However, the indications of corneal plastic lens are narrow and only suitable for some patients.
Laser surgery
Laser surgery is a direct treatment for myopia. Shanghai Eye Hospital provides a variety of laser surgery methods, such as LASIK and PRK. These operations correct myopia by reshaping the cornea with a laser beam. Before surgery, patients need to undergo a series of eye examinations to ensure the applicability and safety of surgery.
The advantage of laser surgery is that the treatment effect is lasting, and a single operation can obtain long-term good vision. However, laser surgery is risky, and patients need to fully understand the surgical process and possible risks, and make decisions under the guidance of doctors.
summary
Shanghai Eye Hospital, as a professional eye hospital, provides a variety of methods to treat myopia. Glasses correction, contact lenses, corneal plastic lenses and laser surgery are common treatment methods. Different patients can choose appropriate treatment methods according to their own conditions and needs. When choosing treatment methods, patients can consult doctors and understand the advantages, disadvantages and risks of each treatment method in detail to make wise decisions.
