Understanding Corneal Disease
Corneal disease encompasses various conditions affecting the transparent front part of the eye, including infections, dystrophies, and injuries. These conditions can significantly impact vision and eye comfort. In our partner clinics in Beijing and Shanghai, we use a multidisciplinary approach involving ophthalmologists, corneal specialists, and optometrists to preserve and restore vision.
Advanced Diagnostics in China
Accurate diagnosis is the first step toward effective treatment. Our hospitals offer:
- Slit-Lamp Examination: Detailed inspection of the cornea.
- Corneal Topography: Mapping corneal curvature.
- Pachymetry: Measuring corneal thickness.
- Confocal Microscopy: Cellular-level imaging.
Treatment Options
Depending on the diagnosis, treatment may involve topical medications, contact lenses, surgery, or an integrative approach combining Western medicine with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to support eye health and healing.
- Topical Medications: Antibiotics, antivirals, or anti-inflammatories.
- Specialty Contact Lenses: For irregular corneal surfaces.
- Surgical Procedures: Keratoplasty or cross-linking.
- Integrative TCM: Herbal formulas to support eye health.
