Treatment of myopia in Wuhan Public Eye Hospital
Myopia is a common visual problem, which has a great impact on daily life and work. In order to help patients improve their myopia, Wuhan Public Eye Hospital provides a variety of treatment methods. The following are some of the more common treatments.
1. Corneal shaping therapy
Corneal shaping therapy is a non operative method to treat myopia, which can be improved by wearing specially made corneal lenses. Corneal lenses are worn on the eyes at a specific time to shape the cornea, thus changing the focus of light in the eye. After a period of use, the patient will have a certain corrective effect after removing the lens. This method is suitable for patients with mild or moderate myopia, and the specific course of treatment and correction effect need to be determined according to individual conditions.
The advantages of corneal shaping therapy are non operative, painless and reversible, but the scope of application is relatively limited. The treatment process requires patience and reasonable cooperation.
2. Myopia surgery
Wuhan Public Eye Hospital provides a variety of surgical treatments for myopia, the most common of which are laser corneal correction (LASIK) and laser subepithelial keratectomy (PRK).
LASIK surgery is to cut the inner layer of the cornea through laser, then carve the middle layer of the cornea with laser, and finally reset the cut inner layer of the cornea. PRK surgery is to carve the middle layer of the cornea directly with laser, without the procedure of cutting and repositioning the inner layer. Both of these operations can improve myopia by changing the shape of the cornea. After the operation, a certain recovery period is required. During the recovery period, excessive eye use and eye friction should be avoided.
The biggest advantage of myopia surgery is that it can significantly improve myopia, and some patients can also achieve a better level of naked eye vision after surgery. However, the surgical indications and risks need to be evaluated by doctors according to the specific conditions of patients, and detailed examination and consultation should be carried out before surgery.
3. Sight training
Optometry training is a kind of therapy to improve visual function through specific training methods. For myopia, optometry training can reduce the symptoms of myopia by improving the ability of the eye to focus on distant objects.
Optometry training is usually guided and supervised by professional optometrists, including eye movement, target tracking, adjustment training and other aspects. Patients need to carry out daily training according to the guidance, and regularly review and adjust the training content. Sight training needs to be persisted for a long time, and the effect will have certain individual differences.
4. Drug treatment
Drug treatment of myopia is a relatively new treatment method. The commonly used drugs are atropine eyedrops with low concentration. Atropine can reduce myopia symptoms by adjusting the adjustment of the eyeball. It is generally used once a day.
The effect and indication of drug treatment for myopia have certain limitations, which is applicable to children and adolescents, especially early myopia patients. The use of medication requires close monitoring and guidance from doctors.
summary
Wuhan Public Eye Hospital provides a variety of methods to treat myopia, including corneal shaping therapy, myopia surgery, optometry training and drug treatment. Patients can choose the appropriate treatment according to their own conditions, but before deciding on treatment, they should carry out detailed examination and consultation, and follow the doctor's advice. During the treatment process, it is necessary to regularly review and adjust the treatment plan, pay attention to eye hygiene and protection while adhering to the treatment, and avoid excessive eye use.
