Ophthalmology

The Ophthalmology Department has four specialist physicians, one medical technologist and one nurse. The physicians include one with a senior title, three with intermediate titles and three master’s degree holders. Its equipment includes a Nidek autorefractor from Japan, a Tommy non-contact tonometer, Zeiss fundus camera, fluorescence angiography equipment, an automated perimeter, optical coherence tomography, an ophthalmic operating microscope, an intraocular lens biometer, a fundus laser, an Abbott Medical Optics cataract phacoemulsification system, ophthalmic A/B ultrasound, a corneal endothelial cell counter and a dry-eye treatment device.

The outpatient clinic operates year-round and diagnoses and treats common and complex eye conditions. Routine procedures include cataract phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation; pterygium excision with limbal stem cell transplantation; intravitreal injections for retinal vascular and infectious diseases; retinal laser photocoagulation for diabetic retinopathy, retinal vein occlusion, retinal tears and degenerative lesions; and reconstructive treatment of ocular injuries and minimally invasive surgery for lacrimal drainage obstruction.

The department provides medical refraction and standardized fitting of orthokeratology and defocus lenses for the prevention and management of myopia in young people. It uses combined ocular fumigation and meibomian gland massage for dry-eye conditions associated with excessive eye use, meibomian gland dysfunction and immune factors. Drawing on the hospital’s infectious disease expertise, it assesses and treats infectious eye diseases such as viral keratitis, uveitis and retinitis.
