Dalian He's Eye Hospital: How do ophthalmologists identify whether surgery is needed?
The eye is one of the important sensory organs of the human body. Many eye diseases need to be evaluated by ophthalmologists, and some diseases may need surgery to solve. In Dalian He's Eye Hospital, experienced ophthalmologists will identify whether surgery is needed through multiple judgment indicators. The following will elaborate on the symptoms of eye disease, examination results, severity of disease and conservative treatment effect.
Symptoms of eye disease
The symptoms of eye diseases are one of the important bases for judging whether surgery is needed. For example, if the patient has sudden vision loss, severe eye pain, redness and swelling of both eyes and other symptoms, it may be an emergency caused by acute eye diseases such as retinal detachment and glaucoma. Timely surgical intervention is necessary. Some chronic eye diseases, such as cataract and strabismus, although the symptoms may not be obvious, but the long-term continuous impact has a great threat to the vision, which also needs surgical treatment to improve.
In addition, the symptoms of eye diseases may differ greatly from individuals, so it is one of the important tasks for ophthalmologists to correctly identify the symptoms that need surgical treatment.
Inspection results
Another important indicator for ophthalmologists to determine whether surgery is needed is the result of eye examination. By using modern ophthalmic equipment, such as corneal topography, retinal scanner, etc., experts can understand the specific situation and development of patients' eye diseases. For example, corneal topography can help to assess whether the corneal morphology is normal, and retinal scanners can observe whether there is any pathological change in the retina. These results can more accurately guide experts to determine whether surgery is needed.
In addition, some ophthalmic diseases may require extra frontal examinations such as tissue biopsy or bacterial culture to determine the condition. Through comprehensive analysis of these examination results, ophthalmologists can more accurately determine whether patients need surgery.
Severity
Another important factor in judging whether surgery is needed is the severity of the disease. Some ophthalmic diseases, such as corneal ulcer, eye trauma, etc., if the condition is serious and has posed a major threat to vision, ophthalmologists usually choose surgery for rapid treatment. For some minor diseases, the symptoms can be alleviated through conservative treatment or drug treatment, which does not necessarily require surgery.
In the assessment of the severity of the disease, ophthalmologists will comprehensively consider the patient's age, the development speed of eye diseases and other factors to make the most appropriate treatment decisions to protect the patient's vision to the greatest extent.
Effect of conservative treatment
For some eye diseases, such as dry eye and keratitis, conservative treatment can effectively alleviate the symptoms and avoid the necessity of surgery. Ophthalmologists usually observe the changes of the condition after initial conservative treatment. If the condition can be significantly improved and the vision can recover well, surgical treatment may not be necessary.
However, some diseases may have poor effect on conservative treatment, or the disease may recur repeatedly. At this time, ophthalmologists will reassess the treatment plan and consider the necessity of surgical treatment.
Summary
In Dalian He's Eye Hospital, experienced ophthalmologists identify the need for surgery through a variety of indicators, including eye disease symptoms, examination results, disease severity and conservative treatment effects. Through comprehensive consideration of these factors, experts can give patients the most appropriate treatment plan, which not only ensures the patient's eye health, but also reduces the risk of surgery to the greatest extent.
It should be emphasized that only through the evaluation and diagnosis of professional ophthalmologists can we clearly determine whether surgery is necessary.
