How to treat myopia in Guangzhou optometry department
Myopia is a common ophthalmic problem. Guangzhou Optometry and Ophthalmology Department is a very professional ophthalmic hospital, which provides a variety of methods to treat myopia. This article will elaborate the methods of Guangzhou optometry department in treating myopia from four aspects: glasses correction, corneal shaping lens, refractive surgery and behavior therapy.
Ophthalmic correction
Glasses are one of the most traditional and commonly used methods to correct myopia. Guangzhou Optometry&Ophthalmology Department provides patients with appropriate glasses by accurately measuring their vision and diopter. After the myopia patient wears glasses, the lens will form a negative diopter lens in front of the eye, thus reducing the adjustment of the eye to distant objects and making the vision clear.
The advantages of glasses correction are safety, simplicity, and suitable for patients of all ages. However, glasses can not cure myopia, but only temporarily relieve symptoms. Therefore, Guangzhou Optometry and Ophthalmology Department also provides other options for myopia treatment.
Keratoscope
Corneal shaping lens is a special kind of contact lens, which can be used to treat myopia and other refractive problems. Experts in Guangzhou optometry and ophthalmology department will customize suitable corneal shaping lenses according to the patient's diopter and corneal shape. Patients wear such special glasses at night. By applying appropriate pressure to the cornea, the shape of the cornea can be temporarily changed, so that patients do not need to wear glasses or contact lenses during the day.
The advantage of corneal plastic lens is that it can treat myopia, and it can also solve other eye problems, such as astigmatism and corneal deformity. However, wearing a corneal shaping lens requires professional guidance and regular inspection, and patients need to use it with the advice of doctors.
Refractive Surgery
Refractive surgery is to treat myopia by changing the refraction of the eye. Guangzhou Optometry&Ophthalmology Department provides a variety of advanced refractive surgery technologies, such as laser corneal refractive surgery (LASIK) and laser corneal epithelium removal (PRK). These operations change the refraction of the eye to light through laser cutting and reshaping the shape of the cornea, so as to achieve the effect of correcting myopia.
The advantage of refractive surgery is that it has a lasting therapeutic effect and can completely change the refraction of the eye, so that patients no longer need to wear glasses or contact lenses. However, refractive surgery is not applicable to all patients, and there are certain requirements for the eye morphology and eye health of patients.
Behavior therapy
Behavior therapy is a very effective method for myopia. Experts in Guangzhou Optometry and Ophthalmology Department will develop personalized treatment plans for patients, including eye exercises, adjustment of eye habits and rest of myopia. It can effectively slow down the process of myopia by cultivating good eye habits and performing relevant eye exercises.
The advantage of behavioral therapy is that it is simple and easy to operate, without drug or surgical intervention, and it is applicable to patients of all ages. However, behavior therapy requires patients to actively cooperate and adhere to it for a long time, and the effect will be different.
summary
Guangzhou Optometry&Ophthalmology Department provides a variety of treatment methods for myopia patients, including glasses correction, corneal plastic lens, refractive surgery and behavioral therapy. The doctor will recommend the most suitable treatment scheme according to the specific conditions and needs of patients. Glasses correction and corneal shaping lens are non-invasive treatment methods, suitable for patients of all ages; Refractive surgery can completely change the condition of myopia, but it has requirements on the eye morphology and eye health of patients; Behavior therapy can slow down the process of myopia by adjusting the habit of using eyes and performing eye exercises. Patients can choose appropriate treatment methods according to their own needs and doctors' suggestions to improve their vision and quality of life.
