Chengdu East Railway Station Purui Eye Hospital - How to treat keratitis
Keratitis is a common eye disease, which can cause inflammation of the corneal tissue of the eye, and may cause visual impairment in serious cases. At the Purui Eye Hospital of Chengdu East Railway Station, we have provided various methods to treat keratitis, aiming to help patients recover as soon as possible. This article will elaborate on how to treat keratitis from the following four aspects.
1. Dynamic observation and regular review
At the initial diagnosis, the doctor will conduct a detailed inquiry and eye examination to determine the type and severity of keratitis. At the beginning of treatment, dynamic observation is very important. The doctor will adjust the treatment plan according to the progress of the disease. At the same time, patients need to be reviewed regularly to monitor the treatment effect and changes in the condition, and adjust the treatment plan in time.
During the observation period, the patient needs to pay attention to eye hygiene and avoid rubbing eyes and contacting objects that may cause infection. In addition, avoid using eye drops containing preservatives to avoid corneal irritation.
2. Drug treatment
Drug treatment is one of the common methods to treat keratitis. Depending on the type and severity of inflammation, doctors may prescribe antibiotic eye drops, antiviral eye drops, or antifungal eye drops. These drugs can inhibit the growth of pathogens and reduce inflammation.
When using eyedrops, patients should use them correctly according to the doctor's instructions, and pay attention to the storage and use period of the drugs. In case of allergy or adverse reaction, inform the doctor in time.
In addition to eyedrops, doctors sometimes advise patients to take antibiotics or antiviral drugs orally to assist in treatment.
3. Physical therapy
Physical therapy is another way to treat keratitis. Among them, cold compress and hot compress are more common. Cold compress can relieve eye pain and redness, while hot compress can help improve eye blood circulation and accelerate the disappearance of inflammation.
During cold compress, the patient can use cold water soaked gauze or ice bag to gently apply it to the eyes. Hot compress can be applied to the eyes with gauze or hot towel soaked in warm water. When using physical therapy, it is necessary to keep eye hygiene and pay attention to the appropriate temperature to avoid damage to eye tissues.
4. Surgical treatment
For some severe keratitis, medicine and physical therapy may not be effective, and surgery may be required. Common operations include corneal transplantation and corneal scraping. Corneal transplantation is to replace damaged corneal tissue with healthy donor cornea, while corneal scraping is to remove inflamed corneal tissue through surgery.
Surgical treatment needs to be carried out in a professional ophthalmic hospital, and a detailed examination and evaluation needs to be carried out before surgery. After surgery, patients need systematic eye care and recovery, and closely observe the surgical effect and the development of complications.
summary
Purui Eye Hospital of Chengdu East Railway Station provides a variety of treatment methods for keratitis. From dynamic observation and regular review, drug treatment, physical therapy to surgical treatment, patients can choose appropriate treatment methods according to their own conditions and doctors' suggestions. However, during the treatment period, the patient should strictly follow the doctor's instructions on medication and eye care, regularly review and timely inform the doctor of the treatment effect and disease changes. Only reasonable use of various treatment methods can better control and treat keratitis.
