Treatment of myopia in Shanghai Eye Hospital
Myopia is a common ophthalmic problem. The patients' far vision is damaged, resulting in blurred vision of distant objects. Shanghai Eye Hospital, as a well-known eye hospital, provides a variety of myopia treatment methods suitable for different patients. The following four aspects will be described in detail: corneal refractive surgery, corneal plastic lens, eye drops treatment and vision correction glasses.
keratorefractive surgery
Corneal refractive surgery is one of the common treatment methods for myopia. It improves vision by changing the shape of the cornea. Shanghai Eye Hospital provides a variety of corneal refractive surgery, including LASIK surgery, PRK surgery and ReLEx SMILE surgery. Among them, LASIK surgery is the most commonly used myopia surgery, which changes the corneal curvature through laser cutting corneal tissue, and then corrects vision. PRK is a surface laser surgery, which is suitable for patients with low myopia. ReLEx SMILE surgery is a minimally invasive surgery, which can correct myopia by making a small hole in the cornea.
Corneal refractive surgery has the advantages of rapid operation and recovery. However, the risk of surgery and postoperative reaction also need to be considered. Before selecting the surgery, the patient should understand the surgical process and risks in detail, and determine whether it is suitable for surgery after the evaluation of the doctor.
Keratoscope
Corneal plastic lens is a non operative treatment for myopia. It corrects vision by placing a specially designed corneal contact lens on the surface of the eye to change the shape of the cornea. Shanghai Eye Hospital provides a variety of corneal shaping lenses, such as Gas Permeable lens and Ortho-k lens.
The advantage of the corneal shaping lens is that it can be worn when sleeping, and the lens can not be worn during the day. However, lenses need to be checked and replaced regularly, and the adaptation period is long. Patients also need to consult their doctors and consider their own lifestyle and usage habits before choosing the treatment of corneal reshaping lens.
Eye drops treatment
Eye drops treatment is a non-invasive treatment of myopia. Shanghai Eye Hospital provides a variety of eye drops, such as low concentration atropine eye drops and reusable isoproterenol eye drops. These eyedrops can improve vision by adjusting the size of the pupil and the length of the eye axis, thus reducing myopia.
The advantages of eye drops treatment are safe, simple and without surgery. However, it can only temporarily improve vision, and cannot fundamentally cure myopia. In addition, the use of eye drops needs to strictly follow the doctor's instructions and return to the doctor regularly.
Vision correction glasses
Vision correction glasses are a common and economical treatment for myopia. Shanghai Eye Hospital is able to prepare appropriate vision correction glasses for patients according to their degree and eye conditions. These glasses can improve patients' vision and reduce myopia symptoms by correcting their diopter.
The advantages of vision correction glasses are safety, non-invasive and replaceable. However, wearing glasses will cause some inconvenience to patients' daily life. In addition, vision correction glasses are only a temporary solution and cannot cure myopia.
summary
In general, Shanghai Eye Hospital provides a variety of methods suitable for myopia treatment, including corneal refractive surgery, corneal plastic lenses, eye drops and vision correction glasses. Patients should make decisions according to their own conditions and doctors' suggestions when choosing appropriate treatment methods. No matter which method is selected, attention should be paid to protecting eye health, regular follow-up visits and communication with doctors to obtain better treatment results.
