Do I Need To Go To The Hospital For Glasses?
Many people feel that they need to go to the hospital only when their eyes are sick. For myopia glasses, you can just find an optical shop or buy them online. But whether the glasses are suitable is directly related to our eye health, and we must not be careless. In regular hospital glasses, in addition to routine visual inspection, it also includes medical optometry, not only the optometry data is more accurate, but also multi-faceted investigation of eye diseases, escort for eye health.
When choosing glasses, we may pay more attention to the style and brand of glasses. In fact, many people ignore one thing: optometry. As an important part of glasses, optometry includes conventional optometry and medical optometry.
Conventional optometry focuses on correcting vision. As long as you wear glasses, your eyes can see clearly, but this is far from enough. Sometimes poor vision is not necessarily the cause of refractive error, but may also be caused by other eye diseases.
Medical optometry is more "concerned" about improving the function and quality of binocular vision, and it is also a relatively comprehensive visual inspection system. In addition to routine optometry, it also includes the investigation of the cause of poor vision, the examination of binocular visual function, and the determination of the final prescription and prescription for glasses.
The complete process of medical optometry:
1. Investigation of the causes of poor eyesight
There are many reasons for poor vision, so medical optometry requires that the cause of poor vision should be investigated first.
If it is a vision problem caused by certain eye diseases, such as cataracts, glaucoma, fundus lesions, etc., then these eye diseases need to be treated. If the poor vision caused by eye disease factors is ruled out, the next step of optometry can be carried out.
2. Regular optometry
Conventional optometry includes objective optometry and subjective optometry.
Objective optometry is to collect photometry through computer optometry or retinoscopy optometry equipment. Subjective optometry is a test of objective optometry data, that is, the process of adjusting the degree by looking at the eye chart as we all know.
3. Inspection of binocular visual function
Binocular visual function examination is a very important link in medical optometry, which includes: the examination of the dominant eye, the examination of the balance of binocular vision, the examination of eye position, the examination of stereo vision, the examination of fusion function, etc. prevail). These checks are related to whether there is a clearer, more comfortable and lasting correction effect after glasses are fitted.
4. Determining Final Optician Recommendations and Prescriptions
According to different age and refractive status, children also need to undergo mydriasis examination (there may be pseudo-myopia), and finally give reasonable prescriptions for glasses and glasses according to individual inspection parameters.
