When is an Eye CT Needed?

An eye CT is needed in cases such as eye injuries, infections of unknown causes, and diseases around the eyes. Here are some specific scenarios:

1. Eye Injuries: Eye CT is a commonly used examination and diagnostic method in ophthalmology. When the eye is hit, struck, or impacted by foreign objects, resulting in swelling and bleeding, an eye CT examination is required to check the integrity of the eyeball, the presence of orbital fractures, and to determine the location of foreign objects.

2. Infections of Unknown Causes: If the eyes have itchiness, abscesses, and the specific cause cannot be determined, an eye CT examination can also be performed to distinguish conditions such as orbital cellulitis and eye cysts.

3. Extraocular Muscle Lesions: When patients exhibit symptoms such as ptosis and ophthalmoplegia, an eye CT examination can also be used for diagnosis. Besides the above situations, eye CT examinations can also be performed in cases of exophthalmos, glaucoma, retinopathy, and vasculopathy. If you experience discomfort in your eyes, it is recommended to visit the ophthalmology department of a hospital promptly to avoid deterioration of the condition.
