Glaucoma Department: Boundless Vision EYE Guardian

"Not all light lost can be recovered." This is the most appropriate description of glaucoma, a blinding eye disease, where the loss of vision is irreversible once the optic nerve is destroyed.

Compared with other eye diseases, glaucoma is more like a "physical and mental disease".

In the midst of confusion and fear, there is a lighthouse that always illuminates hope, and this is the guardian of vision - Dongguan Aier Glaucoma Specialist.

Famous doctors diagnose it

The highland for the diagnosis and treatment of difficult eye diseases

Glaucoma lesions involve the structure of ocular tissue from front to back, and are usually closely related to cataracts, refractions, fundus, cornea, neuro-ophthalmology and other departments. In order to allow patients to enjoy more accurate and efficient diagnosis and treatment services, in July 2023, under the leadership of Director Huashan, the glaucoma diagnosis and treatment specialty became an independent department.

In Director Huashan's view, "As a ten-year-old Dongguan Aier Eye Hospital, it already has the conditions to establish a glaucoma ophthalmology clinic in terms of hardware and software, as well as talent reserves." ”

The specialty is led by President Liu Fei, a well-known domestic tertiary ophthalmology expert, and Director Huashan serves as the director of the department, bringing together a group of high-level, specialized and offensive talents, forming a team of master's and doctoral physicians with strong professional talents. With rich experience in the treatment of various difficult and complex glaucoma cases, the technology is synchronized with the international standard, and it is an influential glaucoma diagnosis and treatment specialty in Dongguan and a regional difficult glaucoma diagnosis and treatment base.

Regional difficult glaucoma diagnosis and treatment base

The specialty not only provides accurate outpatient, preoperative, postoperative, and re-examination links, but also provides a full set of glaucoma diagnosis and treatment plans for patients with various types of glaucoma with perfect treatment capabilities and treatment capabilities for intractable diseases.

Not long ago, the "Regional Difficult Glaucoma Diagnosis and Treatment Base" authorized and certified by Aier Ophthalmology Group was officially inaugurated, which not only carries the group's deep expectations, but also takes precision medicine technology as the core, combined with the unique advantages of full-course tracking management and lifelong follow-up services, opening up a road of hope for glaucoma patients, especially those facing complex challenges.

International facilities

Guarantee of accurate diagnosis

Specialized glaucoma examination equipment, including HUMPHREY perimetry, ultrasound biological microscope (UBM), optical phase coherence tomography (OCT), Kowa synchronous stereoscopic nerve camera, etc., provide accurate diagnosis for screening, diagnosis and long-term follow-up of various types of glaucoma.

Diagnosis and treatment of the whole system

Personalized treatment plans

Although glaucoma cannot be cured, active treatment can control intraocular pressure, delay the progression of the disease, and maintain current vision. Therefore, controlling intraocular pressure at a safe level is the goal of glaucoma treatment.

Glaucoma Ophthalmology offers a full range of treatment options for the diagnosis and personalization of various types of glaucoma and complex glaucoma.

Medication

Topical eye drops, intravenous drips throughout the body or orally

Laser treatment

Laser peripheral iridectomy, laser peripheral iridoplasty, selective laser trabeculoplasty, micropulsed laser trabeculoplasty

Surgical treatment

Minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS), minimally invasive combined cataract surgery, drainage valve or implant surgery, ciliary body psonoplasty (UCP) or photocoagulation, trabeculectomy

Lifelong service

Scientific follow-up mechanism

Since glaucoma is a lifelong disease, patients need long-term follow-up, and the specialist has established a scientific follow-up mechanism, including patient self-management, family management and one-on-one exclusive mechanism for eye health managers, to ensure that patients can maintain their vision level for a long time and improve their quality of life.

Patient self-management

Regular follow-up and monitoring of intraocular pressure are important foundations for glaucoma patients to control their condition and maintain their visual acuity

Patient family management

Fully understand the family hereditary nature of glaucoma, even if the disease does not occur, regular examination and follow-up should be conducted to prevent visual function damage.

Eye health manager

Establish a one-on-one exclusive mechanism, a lifelong care system, provide all-round life guidance, and improve the quality of life.

Compared with other eye diseases, glaucoma is more like a "physical and mental disease", which should not only give patients confidence with professional skills, but also patiently relieve their anxiety. After the patient's diagnosis, medication, and surgery, chronic disease management is an indispensable part, and it is of great significance for the patient's family to preserve their vision and prevent and control glaucoma in advance.

Public welfare science popularization

Home for glaucoma patients

We are well aware of the importance of early diagnosis and treatment, so we have established the "Glaucoma Patient Home", and set up the 6th of each month as "Glaucoma Care Day", through regular education and science popularization activities, to popularize glaucoma knowledge to patients and their relatives, enhance self-care awareness, and reduce the prevalence and blindness rate.

Walk with EYE and protect every inch of vision. In the future, the specialty will continue to be patient-centered and provide accurate diagnosis and treatment and management services for glaucoma patients throughout the course and life cycle.
