Ophthalmic treatment steps for styloma
Wort is a common eye disease, which is mainly manifested as infection and obstruction of the meibomian gland, causing pain, redness, swelling and tear eyes. Timely and correct treatment is very important for patients with styloma. The following is a detailed introduction to the ophthalmic treatment steps of styloma.
Step 1: Preliminary treatment
When the symptoms of wheat swelling appear, the patient should clean his hands carefully immediately, and wash the area around his eyes with warm water and non irritating soap. Then, gently dry with a clean towel or gauze to keep the eyes dry. Avoid rubbing infected eyes to avoid further aggravating symptoms.
Next, apply warm water to the eyes to relieve pain and redness. Soak a clean towel in warm water, wring it dry and apply it gently to the affected eyes. Apply the eye for about 15 minutes each time, 3-4 times a day.
In addition, patients should keep their eyes clean and avoid using cosmetics and eyedrops with impurities. Avoid using contact lenses to prevent infection from spreading or worsening.
Step 2: See an ophthalmologist
After initial treatment, patients should see an ophthalmologist in time to obtain professional treatment suggestions. The ophthalmologist will perform a detailed eye examination, including observing the symptoms, checking the eyelid and lacrimal gland, to determine the diagnosis.
According to the severity of the disease and the individual condition of the patient, the doctor may recommend further examinations, such as bacterial culture and drug sensitivity test, to determine the infected strain and select appropriate antibiotic treatment.
After the diagnosis, the ophthalmologist will develop an individualized treatment plan according to the patient's condition.
Step 3: Medication
Drug treatment is one of the main treatment methods for styloma. According to the infected strain and drug sensitivity test results, the doctor will prescribe appropriate eyedrops or ointment, including antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs and pain relievers.
Patients need to use drugs correctly according to the doctor's instructions, and pay attention to the storage and use time of drugs. When using eyedrops, the patient should first wash his hands, then gently hold up the lower eyelid, drop in an appropriate amount of eyedrops, and then gently close his eyes to evenly distribute the eyedrops. When using the ointment, the patient should first clean his hands, then squeeze the ointment on the clean fingertips, and then gently smear it on the lower eyelid.
During medication, patients should pay attention to eye hygiene, avoid eye contamination, and avoid sharing eye drugs with others to prevent cross infection.
Step 4: Surgical treatment
For some serious and recurrent cases of styloma, medical treatment may not achieve the desired effect, and surgery will be considered.
Surgical treatment usually adopts local anesthesia to completely eliminate infection and inflammation through incision and removal of blocked tarsal gland or abscess. After surgery, patients need to follow the doctor's postoperative care instructions, pay attention to rest, avoid strenuous activities and excessive eye use, to promote wound healing.
In a word, the ophthalmic treatment steps of styloma include preliminary treatment, seeing an ophthalmologist, drug treatment and surgical treatment. Timely and correct treatment can alleviate symptoms, eliminate infection and help patients recover quickly. Patients with styloma should actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment plan, and pay attention to eye hygiene and health care to prevent the recurrence of styloma.
