Yu dɔn ɛva mek dɔktɔ chɛk yu yay ɛn dɛn tɛl yu fɔ mɛzhɔ di tik we yu kɔnia tik? Dɛn kin dɔn tɛl yu bak fɔ du ‘Pachymetry Test’. Bɔku pipul dɛn kin fil strenj smɔl we dɛn yɛri dis nem, dɛn kin tink se na big tɛst ɔ i go mek dɛn fil bad. So tide, lɛ wi tɔk bɔt wetin na dis Pachymetry Test, wetin mek dɛn du am, ɛn if yu fɔ fred am.

Fɔ tɔk am simpul wan, wetin na dis Pachymetry Test?

Fɔ tɔk am simpul wan, Pachymetry Test na tɛst we de sho aw yu kɔnia tik. Naw yu kin de wɔnda, "Wetin na dis kɔnia?"

di kɔnia na wan tin we tan lɛk wach, we de na di fɔs pat pan wi yay. I gɛt tu men wok dɛn:

1. I de ɛp wi fɔ si klia wan bay we wi de fos di layt we de go insay di yay.

2. Fɔ protɛkt di yay frɔm dɔst ɛn jem.

so, dis Pachymetry Test de mכsu di tik we di kכnia tik insay maykromita. Dis kin gi di dɔktɔ rili impɔtant infɔmeshɔn bɔt di wɛlbɔdi fɔ di yay. sכmtεm dεn kin du dis tεst wit wan tεst we dεn kכl `Kכnia tכpכgrafi`, we de mek wan map fכ di kכnia sεf.

Us sityueshɔn dɛn kin du dis tɛst?

Dɔktɔ kin ɔda dis tɛst fɔ sɔm rizin dɛn. Di wan dɛn we kɔmɔn pas ɔl na:

Glaucoma Diagnosis and Treatment: Glaucoma na sik we di prɛshɔn insay di yay (Intraocular Pressure - IOP) de go ɔp ɛn i kin pwɛl di optik nɛv. Dɔktɔ dɛn kin mɛzhɔ dis prɛshɔn wit wan tɛst we dɛn kɔl `Tonometry`. Bɔt di tik we di kɔnia tik de ple big pat pan ya.

Fɔ ɛgzampul, if yu kɔnia tik pas aw i fɔ bi, di prɛshɔn we de insay di yay kin bɔku pas aw i rili tik. Semweso, if di kɔnia tan , di prɛshɔn kin smɔl pas aw i rili tan. So fɔ no dis tik rili impɔtant fɔ mek di dɔktɔ no if yu gɛt glaukoma ɔ yu nɔ gɛt am.

Bifo dɛn du ɔpreshɔn fɔ pul di ayglas: Bɔku pipul dɛn naw de du ɔpreshɔn lɛk `LASIK` fɔ pul dɛn glas kɔmɔt. Dis ɔpreshɔn na fɔ chenj di shep fɔ di kɔnia bay we dɛn de yuz lɛsa bim. So bifo yu du dis ɔpreshɔn, yu nid fɔ no gud gud wan if yu kɔnia tik fɔ ebul fɔ bia wit am. if di kכnia tכn, komplikashכn dεm lεk `(kכnia εktasia)` kin apin afta di כpεrayshכn. So, dɛn kin rili du dis tɛst fɔ sef.

Ɔda tin dɛn we gɛt fɔ du wit di kɔnia:dis tεst dεn de yuz am bak fכ mכnitor di kכndishכn dεm we de afekt di tik we di kכnia tik, lεk `keratoconus` (wan kכn shep protrusion fכ di kכnia), `Fuchs' dystrophy`, εn `kכnia haydrops`.

Ay injury: Dis kin ɛp bak fɔ si if di kɔnia dɔn pwɛl ɔ in tik dɔn chenj if yu yay wund.

Di we aw dɛn de du di tɛst	Aw i kin apin
Optik Pakimɛtri	Insay dis, no ikwipmɛnt nɔ de tɔch yu yay. Na wetin yu fɔ du na fɔ sidɔm bifo mashin ɛn put yu chin ɛn fɔrɛst na wan ples pan am. Dɛn kin mɛzhɔ di tik frɔm di pikchɔ dɛn we di mashin tek. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) na ɔda kayn we fɔ du dis.
Ultrasonik Pakimɛtri we dɛn kin yuz	Insay dis prosidur, fɔs dɛn kin put sɔm numbing drop dɛn na yu yay. So yu nɔ go fil ɛnitin. Dɔn, dɛn kin put di tip fɔ wan smɔl tin we tan lɛk pen (pachymeter) rili saful wan na yu kɔnia fɔ sɔm sɛkɔn. Dɛn kin yuz ɔltra saund wev dɛn fɔ mɛzhɔ di tik.

Wan smɔl mɛsej fɔ mɛmba

If yu no se dɛn go gi yu numbing drop ɔ dilating drop fɔ yu yay ɛgzam, i go fayn fɔ rayd wit ɔda pɔsin, bikɔs dɛn drop ya kin mek yu nɔ si fayn fɔ sɔm tɛm.

Ɛni risk de pan dis?

Dis na tɛst we rili sef.

Optical Pachymetry (wan we we nɔ de kɔntakt) nɔ de kɛr ɛni risk.
Ultrasonic Pachymetry (di mεtכd we de tכch di yes) nכ gεt bכku risk dεm. Bɔt, dɛn tin yaTin dɛn we kin apin smɔl smɔl.

Di bɛst tin bɔt dis tɛst na dat di rizɔlt kin de wantɛm wantɛm. Di dɔktɔ kin tɔk to yu bɔt am wantɛm wantɛm.

di avrej sεntri kכnia tik fכ wan hεlty yay de bitwin 540 εn 550 maykromita .

Bɔt mɛmba se dis na jɔs wan avrej valyu. I kin difrɛn difrɛn wan bay yu ej, yu trayb, ɛn ɔda wɛlbɔdi prɔblɛm dɛn. So nɔ wɔri if yu valyu de smɔl ausayd dis rɛnj. Yu yay kin gɛt wɛlbɔdi ɔlsay. Na yu dɔktɔ nɔmɔ go ebul fɔ ɛksplen di rizɔlt kɔrɛkt wan.

Bay di rizɔlt, yu dɔktɔ kin disayd aw fɔ trit yu glaukoma ɔ if yu na gud pɔsin fɔ ɔpreshɔn na yu yay.
