The term "optometry" may be relatively unpopular in China. In China, if you find that you can't see clearly, you will go to the hospital to see "ophthalmology". Our company has been serving ophthalmology for decades. In recent ten years, a new term has gradually appeared in people's vision, that is "optometry clinic".
We should know that "optometry clinic" is not the fashionable name of Ophthalmology, but is indeed different from ophthalmology in essence. In many foreign countries, it is completely divided into two departments. Ophthalmology and optometry are explained by a popular metaphor: ophthalmology is responsible for vehicle maintenance, which is repaired and replaced with new parts to ensure normal operation; Optometry is a driving coach who is responsible for your driving feeling and improving your driving speed.
We are familiar with some eye diseases: for example, the cause of cataract is the deterioration of lens, astigmatism is the optical distortion on the light aperture, usually caused by corneal deformation, glaucoma caused by abnormal intraocular pressure, and low vision caused by retinal bleeding and falling off. These are eye diseases in the field of conventional Ophthalmology, which belong to the ophthalmic tube, whether to take medicine or injection or surgery, Eye has the final say.
Other problems, such as myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, amblyopia and presbyopia, are in the field of optometry. Especially the oblique amblyopia, which has been put on the table in recent years, has received full attention in major hospitals for the reason of caring for children's visual health. The vigorous development of this field can be said to be the biggest change in ophthalmology in China in the past decade.
Amblyopia is a major eye disease that is very harmful to children's visual health. (no one), which is the main cause of children's single binocular vision function. According to the statistics of North Medical University, the incidence rate of amblyopia among children is 3%, of which 90% are caused by refractive error and strabismus.
The terrible thing about amblyopia lies in three points: first, the eyeball itself of amblyopia children is likely to have no organic lesions. Second, if it is not found and screened in time, and the correct diagnosis and treatment are carried out, there is almost no possibility of cure after the eyeball has passed the stage of development. Third, the treatment process is highly repetitive and time-consuming. These three points can be summed up together. The tangle point lies in time. For children with amblyopia, the treatment time is more precious than gold. Timely diagnosis and treatment and discovery of the disease are more valuable than anything. This is why the oblique amblyopia Department of optometry clinic will devote more energy to diagnosis, treatment and screening.
Yz23b synoptophore of our company in the field of optometry is a sharp tool in the diagnosis and treatment of oblique amblyopia. It has been developed, improved and upgraded for nearly 20 years, and has a considerable popularity in China. Thanks to the overtime work of the manufacturing team and the unremitting efforts of marketing personnel, with the increasing attention paid by domestic ophthalmic hospitals, optometry clinics and optometry centers to the screening of strabismus and amblyopia, the annual sales volume of Synoptophores has also increased steadily in recent years. According to incomplete statistics, the annual sales volume has exceeded 310 units this year, an increase of more than 20% over last year, The domestic oblique amblyopia diagnosis and treatment and synoptophore learning class named by our company has also been held for 13 consecutive sessions, with a total of more than 500 students, which has also contributed a lot to the popularization and sales of Synoptophores.
To sum up, thanks to the overall development in the field of "oblique amblyopia" and "optometry" in recent years, the importance of synoptophore has been recognized by more hospitals and ophthalmologists, resulting in greater market opportunities. However, with the emergence of a large number of competitors, the demand for quality maintenance and product function upgrading has become more urgent. Opportunities are accompanied by challenges, and we hope to continue to grasp them.
