1, visual inspection
This is one of the most basic examinations in ophthalmology. It can make doctors have an accurate and intuitive impression of the patient's condition at the first time. All patients with abnormal visual quality should have binocular vision examination first. Patients who have little to do with eyelid tumors and dry eye are usually advised to undergo this examination.
2, slit lamp inspection
Slit lamp is a microscope that can examine the outer eye, anterior segment and anterior vitreous body. Combined with some contact and non-contact optical elements, the fundus can be examined. Slit lamp is one of the most commonly used equipment for ophthalmologists, and it is also an examination that basically all ophthalmologists have to accept.
3, optometry and audition
At present, computer optometry is mainly used to check the refractive state of eyes. The purpose of optometry is to know what refractive state the patient is currently in, such as myopia or hyperopia. Audition is not the same as optician, but according to the results of optometry, give patients the best examination and correct their vision. Audition can know the best corrected vision of patients, which is one of the important information that clinicians need to know.
4. Intraocular pressure examination
There are many ways to check intraocular pressure, including contact and non-contact. At present, the gas non-contact method is commonly used, which is fast and safe. Patients should be examined for intraocular pressure to rule out the possibility of high intraocular pressure and glaucoma, so as to find and treat it as soon as possible.
5. Optical coherence tomography (OCT)
OCT examination is safe, non-radioactive and non-invasive. It is an important means to check the details of retina, especially macula and optic disc, and it is one of the commonly used inspection methods for ophthalmologists. It is precisely because of its non-invasive and safety that OCT has become one of the main examination methods to track the changes of fundus diseases when many patients return to the clinic.
6, fundus photography
Although doctors are irreplaceable for patients' fundus examination, it is of great significance to use advanced fundus camera to take fundus photographs for the observation, recording and follow-up of diseases. Different from the doctor's subjective description, fundus photography is objective. Many ocular fundus diseases are changeable, so it is necessary to take fundus photography at different stages of onset.
7. Ultrasonic biomicroscope (UBM)
It is an ultrasonic examination of the anterior segment, which can well explore the structure of the anterior segment of the patient. It is of great significance for preoperative examination of glaucoma, congenital malformation of anterior segment, ocular trauma and intraocular surgery.
8. Eye ultrasound
Ultrasound examination is usually non-invasive and painless. Ultrasound examination of the eye is very important for patients with ocular fundus diseases such as superficial tissue tumors, orbital diseases and ametropia.
9. Visual field examination
Visual field examination needs the cooperation of patients. This is of great significance for the diagnosis and follow-up of glaucoma. In addition, it is also of great significance in the field of neuroophthalmology. Special types of visual field abnormalities can indicate the existence of central nervous system diseases.
In addition, the items of ophthalmic examination include corneal focus microscope, anterior segment OCT, corneal fluorescence staining, corneal topography, eye CT/MR, exophthalmos and so on, which are also often used in the examination of corneal diseases, glaucoma and orbital diseases.
Second, how much is an eye examination?
1. Ophthalmic examination is actually a common examination item. The concept of ophthalmic examination is similar to general physical examination. There are many kinds of exams, and according to the complexity of the exam, the cost of the exam will vary greatly. If only general fundus examination is carried out, the cost is about tens of yuan. If there are many inspection items, the cost will be several hundred thousand yuan.
2. There are many kinds of ophthalmic examinations. For example, the examination of ocular adnexa and anterior segment is relatively simple, while the basic eye examination is mainly to check whether there are lesions or foreign bodies in specific positions such as eyelid conjunctiva, lacrimal gland and eyeball. This kind of inspection is the most basic inspection, basically a few dollars or even dozens of dollars can be done.
But some people's eye diseases are more complicated, or they may have vision problems. At this time, it is necessary to check the lens, iris, pupil, sclera and cornea. These inspection fees will be relatively high, about several hundred yuan, but the specific inspection fees will vary greatly because of different hospital fees and different hospital grades, so I suggest you consult on the fees. A local hospital would be better.
Generally speaking, the cost of routine eye examination is not high, about tens of yuan, but if there are many examinations to be done, lens examination, fundus examination and pupil examination are needed, and the cost will be relatively high. The cost of eye examination ranges from tens of yuan to hundreds of thousands of yuan, and the specific examination cost depends on the examination items opened by doctors and the level of hospitals.
