The following will elaborate on the examination process of pediatric department of Wuhan Ophthalmology Hospital from four aspects: initial diagnosis, routine examination, special examination and report of diagnosis results.
1、 Initial diagnosis
The initial diagnosis of child patients is the first step of the entire examination process, and parents or patients themselves need to go to the hospital for treatment. At the reception desk, the staff will establish medical records for children patients and register basic information, such as name, age, gender, etc. Next, the pediatrician will make brief inquiries with the patient and their parents to understand the details of the chief complaint and symptoms.
During the initial diagnosis, the doctor will perform auxiliary examinations on the patient, such as measuring vision, intraocular pressure, anterior chamber depth, etc. The doctor will also know the patient's family history and personal medical history in detail, so as to carry out the next detailed examination.
2、 Routine inspection
Routine examination is a key step in the process of pediatric ophthalmology examination. The doctor will carry out a series of routine examinations according to the specific conditions of the patient to fully understand the patient's eye health.
The first is the visual inspection. The doctor will use an appropriate visual acuity chart or visual acuity meter to evaluate the naked eye vision and corrected vision of the patient. Then the fundus examination was carried out. The doctor used professional examination instruments to observe the fundus structure and pathological changes of the patient. In addition, the doctor will also check eye movements, nystagmus, external eyes and eyelids, tear discharge function, etc.
Routine examinations also include computer optometry, corneal topography, corneal endothelial cell count, intraocular pressure measurement and other items to obtain more comprehensive eye health information.
3、 Special inspection
Special examination is a further diagnostic means according to the patient's condition needs to determine the type and severity of the disease. The special examination of children's ophthalmology usually includes fundus fluorescein angiography, electrophysiological examination, eye movement performance examination, etc.
Fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) is a special examination method to observe retinal blood vessels by injecting fluorescent dyes, which is used to diagnose retinal diseases. Electrophysiological examination can help doctors understand the functional state of patients' visual system, which is very helpful for the diagnosis of some difficult cases. Eye movement performance test can evaluate the ability of children's eye movement coordination, and diagnose children's strabismus, ophthalmoplegia and other diseases.
4、 Report of diagnosis results
The last step is for doctors to report the diagnosis results to patients and parents. The doctor will give detailed diagnosis and treatment suggestions according to the initial diagnosis and various examination results.
If the diagnosis result is confirmed as an ophthalmic disease, the doctor will develop a personalized treatment plan according to the patient's age, severity, etiology and other factors. The doctor will also explain the treatment method and possible risks in detail, and answer the questions of patients and their parents.
In addition, the doctor will make an appointment for the patient to follow up the treatment effect and conduct further treatment and monitoring.
