The eye is an important organ of human vision, and vision plays a crucial role for people in modern society. Myopia is a common ophthalmic disease, and the number of patients worldwide is increasing year by year. Myopia patients have a sharp focus at close range, which leads to insufficient clarity in seeing distant objects, causing great inconvenience and distress to patients in daily life. In order to better treat myopia, ultrasound technology is gradually being used by doctors for disease diagnosis, accelerating the process of addressing this health problem at its root.

Ultrasonic diagnostic technology is a non-invasive examination method that allows for direct observation and recording of internal tissue structures by monitoring the echo and amplitude of sound waves. Mainly used for the detection of organs and tissues that are not covered on the surface of objects and are farther away, especially in the medical field. This technology has been widely applied in the detection and diagnosis of various diseases.

Diagnosis of myopia

Traditional ophthalmic examination methods, such as visual acuity charts and self funded optometry, are still routine and mainstream methods, but their limitations are obvious in many aspects. For example, they cannot be examined on the surface of objects, in areas with strong penetration such as the retina, and can be interfered with by various substances, which slightly affects the clarity of the results. When using ultrasound diagnostic technology, the first step is to more accurately observe and measure the eyeball effect and internal organizational structure of the eye, such as the cornea, lens, retina, and choroid, and to check whether the refractive system is reasonable, as well as the patient's myopia degree, axial length, anterior position of the lens, retinal thickness, and other parameters. At the same time, ultrasound examination can also effectively identify lesions and other diseases. Therefore, ultrasound scanning technology has become a new diagnostic method for myopia, greatly promoting the process of modern ophthalmic disease diagnosis.

Diagnosis of myopia related diseases

In addition to myopia itself, myopia can also lead to the occurrence of related diseases, such as retinal detachment, pathological myopia, glaucoma, etc. The occurrence of these diseases seriously affects vision and threatens the physical health of patients. The use of ultrasound technology in the diagnosis of these diseases is equally important.

For example, glaucoma is caused by high blood pressure in the eye that causes damage to the optic nerve, leading to loss of visual field, disc thinning, cup enlargement of the fundus, and even optic nerve atrophy. By using ultrasound examination, doctors can quickly and accurately measure intraocular pressure, and make judgments on the condition through relevant data parameters to develop a comprehensive treatment plan.

Diseases related to glaucoma also include pathological myopia. It refers to the occurrence or aggravation of myopia caused by excessive axial length of the eye. Through ultrasound technology, doctors can directly measure the thickness of eye structures at different levels and determine the length of the eye axis. If early signs are found, the amplitude can be adjusted and necessary intervention measures can be taken. This can minimize the chances of myopia progressing in pathological myopia and improve the success rate of treatment.

Another disease related to myopia is retinal detachment. The cause of this disease is retinal detachment from the fundus and detachment at any time. In this case, ultrasound scanning technology can be used to identify and locate the position of retinal displacement, the thickness of the retinal layer, and structural changes in the eyeball. The use of ultrasound can not only help patients accurately diagnose diseases, but also facilitate early diagnosis of diseases.

summary

In summary, the use of ultrasound technology in the diagnosis of myopia and related diseases can measure axial length, retinal position, intraocular blood pressure, and other lesions with very high accuracy and clarity.
