Key Department Guide

Ophthalmology

Ophthalmological diagnosis and treatment include refractive errors, cataracts, glaucoma, corneal diseases, uveitis, retinal diseases, ocular trauma, and strabismus and amblyopia in children. Diagnosis and treatment rely on visual acuity, intraocular pressure, slit-lamp examination, fundus examination, optical coherence tomography (OCT), and visual field testing. For acute angle-closure glaucoma, central retinal artery occlusion, chemical burns, endophthalmitis, and penetrating eye injuries, emergency treatment is necessary to improve visual prognosis. Treatment includes medication, laser therapy, intravitreal injection, and microsurgery. Diabetic, hypertension, and thyroid-related eye diseases require long-term follow-up and management in conjunction with systemic disease management.
