Reasons for the scarcity of ophthalmology population in Xi'an
Xi'an is one of the ancient capitals of China, with a large population, but a relatively small eye population, which is a serious problem. The reasons for the scarcity of ophthalmic population can be analyzed from the following aspects.

First of all, people do not pay enough attention to eye health. In the fast-paced life, people often ignore the health of the eyes. They generally believe that only when vision problems occur, they need to seek medical advice, ignoring the importance of routine eye examinations. In addition, some people have limited knowledge and understanding of ophthalmic diseases, and they are often unable to find potential ophthalmic problems in time.
Secondly, the lack of professional ophthalmic medical resources is also an important reason for the scarcity of ophthalmic population. Some ophthalmic departments in hospitals have outdated equipment and low technical level, which is difficult to meet the needs of patients. In addition, some excellent ophthalmologists are often lost to big cities or overseas, resulting in the lack of high-level ophthalmologists in Xi'an.
Thirdly, the lack of publicity and education also has a certain impact on the small population of Xi'an ophthalmology department. The publicity and popular science education of eye diseases are not enough, which leads to the low attention of the general public to eye problems and the lack of knowledge about the prevention and treatment of eye diseases. We should strengthen the ophthalmic health education for the general public and student groups, and increase their attention to ophthalmic health.
Suggestions on increasing the ophthalmic population in Xi'an
In order to solve the problem of the small population of ophthalmology in Xi'an, it is necessary to take a series of measures from many aspects.
First, we should strengthen the publicity of ophthalmic health. Through media, network and other channels, strengthen the publicity of eye diseases, improve people's attention to eye problems, urge them to take the initiative to pay attention to eye health, and avoid vision problems.
Secondly, it is suggested to establish more high-level ophthalmic medical institutions in Xi'an. Invest in purchasing advanced ophthalmic medical equipment, introduce and train a group of high-level ophthalmologists, and improve the ophthalmic medical level of Xi'an. At the same time, strengthen the training and academic exchange of ophthalmologists, improve their professional level, and attract more excellent ophthalmologists back to Xi'an.
Thirdly, strengthen ophthalmic health education. Carry out eye health education activities for students and citizens, popularize eye knowledge, improve people's awareness and understanding of eye problems, guide them to attach importance to eye health, and prevent eye diseases.
In addition, the government should give more support and preference. Increase the investment in ophthalmic medical institutions, reduce the cost of ophthalmic medical treatment, reduce the economic burden of patients, and improve people's enthusiasm for medical treatment. The government can also attract more excellent ophthalmologists to work in Xi'an by encouraging doctors to return home and providing more employment opportunities.
summary
The small population of Xi'an ophthalmology department is a serious challenge. In order to increase the number of ophthalmic population, people need to pay more attention to ophthalmic health and strengthen publicity and education. At the same time, we will establish more high-level ophthalmic medical institutions, introduce and train excellent ophthalmologists, and provide better services for patients. The government also has the responsibility to increase the investment and support for ophthalmic medicine, and make positive efforts to solve the problem of small population in ophthalmology.
