Methods of treating myopia in Shanghai Myopic Eye Hospital
Myopia (also known as myopia, poor far vision) is a common visual problem that exists worldwide. As an important medical center in China, Shanghai has some eye hospitals specialized in myopia treatment. This article will introduce the methods of treating myopia in Shanghai Myopia Eye Hospital from several aspects.
Keratoplasty
Corneal shaping correction is a non operative treatment for myopia. The corneal surface is shaped through special customized contact lenses to improve the far vision of myopia patients. This method is suitable for patients with mild to moderate myopia and is a very safe and effective choice.
In the eye hospital in Shanghai, doctors will evaluate the patient's eye condition and myopia degree, and then use special soft contact lenses to customize corneal shaping correction lenses for the patient. Patients need to wear such lenses for a certain time, usually overnight, and then take them out in the daytime to enjoy clear far vision. Corneal plastic correction is a temporary correction method, and its effect can last for a period of time.
In addition to corneal plastic correction, the eye hospital in Shanghai also provides other non-surgical myopia treatment methods, such as optometry and medication. Optometry treatment usually includes eye movement training, eye health exercises, etc., which can help improve the coordination and adjustment ability of eye muscles. Drug therapy uses some specific drugs to slow down the development of the eyeball, thus curbing the progress of myopia.
Laser refractive surgery
Laser refractive surgery is a method of reshaping corneal curvature through laser technology to correct myopia. In the eye hospital in Shanghai, laser refractive surgery includes LASIK, PRK, LASEK and other different technologies.
Laser refractive surgery is usually suitable for patients over 18 years old with stable myopia. Before surgery, patients need to undergo a comprehensive eye assessment to determine the indications and parameters of surgery. During surgery, doctors use lasers to cut off part of the cornea to change the curvature of the cornea, so as to correct myopia.
Laser refractive surgery is a common method of myopia treatment, with stable effect and fast recovery. However, it should be noted that surgery has certain risks and complications, so patients need to consult and evaluate with doctors in detail before undergoing surgery.
Eye lens implantation
Eye lens implantation is a method of surgical correction of myopia. Special artificial lenses are implanted into the eyeball to change the refraction ability of the eyeball to improve vision.
In eye hospitals in Shanghai, ocular lens implantation is usually suitable for patients with moderate to high myopia. During the operation, the doctor implanted the artificial lens into the eyeball through a small incision to replace the original lens. This method can not only correct myopia, but also correct other refractive problems, such as astigmatism.
Eye lens implantation is a safe and effective method for myopia correction, and patients often feel visual improvement immediately after surgery. But like any surgery, patients need to consult and evaluate with doctors in detail before surgery.
Preventive measures and summary
In addition to treatment, preventive measures are also an important part of slowing down the progress of myopia. Here are some suggestions for daily life:
- Keep a good habit of using your eyes, and avoid using your eyes closely for a long time.
- Regular outdoor activities and moderate sunlight can help prevent myopia.
- Keep the correct eye distance and posture, such as keeping a proper distance from the book when reading.
- Regular eye examination, especially for children and adolescents.
In a word, the ophthalmic hospitals in Shanghai have provided a variety of methods to treat myopia, including corneal plastic surgery, laser refractive surgery and ocular lens implantation. Patients can choose appropriate treatment methods according to their own conditions and doctors' suggestions. In addition, preventive measures are also very important to help slow down the development of myopia.
