Medical optometry refers to the use of medical examination, detection means, according to the real refractive state of the patient’s eyes for optometry and prescription; compared with ordinary optometry, medical optometry has accurate, scientific, safe, reliable and other characteristics, can maximize the protection of the visual health of the human eye. Medical optometry has the following advantages: 1, eliminate pseudomyopia: for the general refractive error patients to provide accurate refractive examination and prescription services. 2, for the refractive abnormalities of eyes that have received surgical treatment and some complex refractive conditions, medical optometry can properly address the refractive correction needs of patients. 3, pediatric refractive error and strabismus, amblyopia treatment: Refractive error in children not only affects children’s vision, but also can lead to strabismus and amblyopia. Many pediatric patients with strabismus and amblyopia are accompanied by refractive abnormalities. Refractive abnormalities in these cases need to be treated through medical optometry and fitting. 4, Refractive abnormalities may be one of the manifestations of many eye diseases. For example, keratoconus, lens disease, glaucoma, macular disease, etc. can be manifested as refractive abnormalities of the eye. For these cases of refractive error patients, medical optometry can help patients discover these eye diseases in time, so that patients get timely and appropriate treatment. 5, medical optometry is also an important means of examination for disease diagnosis. Through medical optometry, the ophthalmologist can understand the impact of the patient’s refractive state on the patient’s vision, clarify the nature and extent of the patient’s eye disease, and provide an important reference basis for the diagnosis and treatment of the disease. 6, whether you can match a pair of qualified glasses, the key or optometry is standardized and accurate. The general principle is that students before school age should first undergo atropine dilated pupil medical examination optometry;
After the age of 18, they can undergo a non-dilated pupil examination and try on the lenses directly after the examination. The pupil dilatation is because the student’s regulation is too strong, most of them have partial pseudomyopia, through the pupil dilatation can make the regulation relatively paralyzed, the degree of optometry can be more accurate, re-testing and trial lenses is based on the original photometry test, and according to the patient’s feelings to make reasonable adjustments.
