Ophthalmology is the clinical department for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the eyeball and visual system, primarily involving conditions of the eyelids, conjunctiva, cornea, lens, vitreous body, retina and optic nerve. Vision is one of the most important human senses; eye diseases may present as common problems such as vision loss or involve blinding diseases. The department emphasizes standardized examination, timely intervention and vision protection. Scope of Services and Common Conditions The department's main clinical scope includes: cataracts and glaucoma; fundus diseases such as age-related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy; refractive errors including myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism; keratitis, conjunctivitis and dry eye syndrome; retinal detachment; strabismus and amblyopia; and ocular trauma. For symptoms including blurred vision, eye pain, red eyes, dry eyes, visual field defects, floating shadows and distorted vision, the department provides systematic diagnosis and treatment. Specialized Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques Ophthalmology routinely performs visual acuity tests, slit-lamp examinations, intraocular pressure measurement, fundus photography, OCT and visual field examinations for precise assessment of visual function and fundus structure. The department is proficient in phacoemulsification combined with intraocular lens implantation, glaucoma surgery, intravitreal injection and fundus laser treatment. For childhood myopia, it conducts scientific prevention and control, delaying myopia progression through behavioral intervention and optical correction. Who Should Visit and Clinic Guide Individuals with vision loss or eye discomfort, diabetic and hypertensive patients requiring regular fundus examinations, and children with abnormal vision screening results are advised to visit Ophthalmology. People over 40 should regularly check intraocular pressure and the fundus to detect age-related eye diseases such as glaucoma and cataracts early. Vision correction with glasses should be performed through refraction testing at professional institutions to avoid inaccurate prescriptions worsening eye fatigue. Clinic Notes Sudden sharp vision loss, severe eye pain with headache and nausea, numerous floaters or flashes, and ocular trauma are ophthalmic emergencies requiring immediate emergency care. Glaucoma can cause irreversible optic nerve damage; middle-aged and older people with eye swelling, headache or halos around lights should seek timely examination of intraocular pressure. Department Features and Advantages. Ophthalmology is supported by standardized diagnosis and treatment and advanced equipment, providing comprehensive visual health services for patients. Phacoemulsification surgery is minimally invasive with rapid recovery, and fundus disease diagnosis and treatment rely on technologies such as OCT and fundus photography for precise assessment. The department emphasizes childhood myopia prevention and geriatric eye disease screening, safeguarding vision health across all age groups. Daily Prevention and Health Advice. Protect vision through reasonable eye use. Maintain good eye habits, control the duration of near-distance eye use, engage in more outdoor activities, and have regular vision examinations for children and adolescents. Diabetic patients should undergo regular fundus examinations, and people over 40 should regularly measure intraocular pressure and examine the fundus. Seek timely medical attention for vision loss, eye pain or distorted vision; do not delay. Appointments and Friendly Reminders. Patients can book appointments for the corresponding specialty outpatient clinics through the hospital website, by phone or on this platform. Please bring your ID, previous medical records and recent examination reports when visiting, and truthfully inform the physician of your current medications, allergies and past medical history so that an individualized plan can be developed. For special examinations requiring fasting, bladder filling or bowel preparation, please prepare strictly according to the physician's instructions in advance to ensure accurate results. The department implements a first-visit responsibility system, establishing health management records for you and providing continuous services from outpatient care, examination and treatment to follow-up. If you have any questions, please feel free to consult the hospital's in-house guidance desk or online customer service. We will wholeheartedly provide you with attentive, professional medical services, and we wish you a speedy recovery. |
