Complications of ophthalmic uveitis in Xi'an
Xi'an is a famous historical and cultural city in China, with many well-known medical institutions. Among them, hospitals specialized in ophthalmology have strong strength in treating eye diseases. However, even under the guidance of experienced doctors, patients may have some complications. This article will elaborate on the complications of uveitis in Xi'an Ophthalmology Department from four aspects: visual impairment, glaucoma, cataract and iritis.
Visual impairment
Visual impairment is one of the common complications of uveitis. Uveitis causes inflammation in the eyeball, which affects the normal function of the retina. Patients may have blurred vision, dark vision, central vision loss and other symptoms. If there is no timely treatment or improper treatment, the visual impairment may continue or further deteriorate, seriously affecting the daily life of patients.
The treatment of vision damage includes the use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs to alleviate symptoms, and optical correction and visual rehabilitation training to improve vision. In Xi'an Eye Hospital, professional ophthalmologists will choose appropriate treatment plans according to the specific conditions of patients, and strive to protect the patients' vision to a large extent.
glaucoma
Uveitis may also cause glaucoma, a serious eye disease. Glaucoma is caused by the increased intraocular pressure due to the poor drainage of aqueous humor. The inflammation of the eyeball caused by uveitis may lead to the blockage of the drainage channel of aqueous humor, which may lead to glaucoma.
The complications of glaucoma include optic nerve damage caused by elevated intraocular pressure, which leads to irreversible loss of vision. The treatment of glaucoma needs to control intraocular pressure, reduce ocular inflammation, and carry out targeted surgery or drug treatment. Xi'an Eye Hospital has world-class surgical equipment and professional doctor team, which can provide patients with high-quality glaucoma treatment services.
cataract
Uveitis may also lead to cataract. Inflammation in the eyeball caused by uveitis may lead to lens opacification, which affects the penetration of light and the ability to adjust focal length, namely, cataract.
Cataracts can cause vision problems such as blurred vision, astigmatism, and double shadows. The conventional treatment of cataract is cataract surgery, that is, intraocular lens replacement. Xi'an Eye Hospital has a high level of technology and rich experience in cataract surgery, which can help patients effectively restore their vision.
Iritis
Uveitis may also cause iritis. Iris is a layer of colored circular tissue inside the eye, which controls the size of the pupil of the eye. Inflammation caused by uveitis may lead to iris damage, causing iritis.
Symptoms of iritis include redness, eye pain, pupil abnormalities, etc. Treatment of iritis usually includes the use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs to alleviate symptoms, as well as local and systemic immunomodulation therapy. Xi'an Eye Hospital has a multi-disciplinary medical team, which can provide patients with a comprehensive and personalized treatment plan for iritis.
To sum up, the complications of ophthalmic uveitis in Xi'an include visual impairment, glaucoma, cataract and iritis. When receiving treatment, patients should seek the advice of professional doctors in a timely manner, and actively cooperate with the treatment plan to minimize complications and protect eye health.
