Can femtosecond surgery be performed in both eyes at the same time in Guangdong's top three hospitals?
In recent years, with the continuous development of ophthalmic technology, laser surgery has become a common method to treat myopia. In laser surgery, femtosecond laser surgery has attracted much attention due to its advantages of high accuracy and rapid recovery. However, many people have doubts about whether the tertiary hospitals in Guangdong can perform femtosecond surgery for both eyes at the same time. The following four aspects will be described in detail, namely, surgical indications, advantages, procedures and risks.
Surgical indications
As an authoritative hospital, the tertiary hospitals in Guangdong have strict control over the surgical indications. Generally speaking, the third class hospitals in Guangdong will evaluate whether it is suitable for femtosecond surgery according to the patient's diopter, corneal thickness, corneal radian, eye condition and other factors. If the patient's binocular laser correction degree is similar, the eye health is good, and meets other relevant standards, then in general, the binocular femtosecond surgery can be performed at the same time.
However, even in the top three hospitals in Guangdong, it is recommended to operate on each eye separately in some cases. For example, the patient's eye degree difference is large, the corneal thickness is insufficient or there are other eye diseases. Therefore, when deciding whether to perform binocular surgery at the same time, the tertiary hospitals in Guangdong will fully consider the individual differences of patients and develop personalized treatment plans.
Surgical advantages
As a minimally invasive surgery, femtosecond laser surgery has many advantages. First of all, the treatment time of femtosecond laser surgery is short, usually only a few minutes, and bilateral surgery can be performed at the same time. Secondly, femtosecond laser surgery has high accuracy, which can cut the cornea more accurately and greatly reduce the risk of surgery. In addition, femtosecond laser surgery has less cutting force on the cornea, more stable corneal morphology and faster eye recovery after surgery. Therefore, the femtosecond surgery provided by the top three hospitals in Guangdong can perform binocular treatment at the same time, so that patients can recover their vision faster.
Operation process
Femtosecond surgery is a very accurate laser surgery. During the operation, the tertiary hospitals in Guangdong will first conduct preoperative evaluation and determine the operation plan through detailed ophthalmic examination. Next, doctors will use femtosecond laser equipment to create the anterior corneal membrane, and then use excimer laser to correct myopia through the membrane. The whole operation process is very fast and accurate, and patients usually do not feel pain.
It should be noted that some patients may feel mild discomfort or dry eyes during the operation, which is only temporary under normal circumstances and usually disappears within a few days after the operation. In addition, after the operation, the tertiary hospitals in Guangdong will regularly review the patients to ensure the effect of the operation and the recovery of the eyes.
Surgical risk
Although femtosecond surgery is considered to be a very safe and effective myopia correction surgery, there are still some surgical risks. The tertiary hospitals in Guangdong will explain the possible risks and complications to the patients in detail before the operation, and assess the operation risks according to the patients' personal conditions. Common risks include postoperative vision fluctuation, corneal infection and corneal epithelial detachment. However, these risks are relatively low. Through strict preoperative evaluation and surgical operation, the tertiary hospitals in Guangdong can minimize the risk of surgery.
In general, the top three hospitals in Guangdong have rich experience and advanced technology in femtosecond laser surgery, and can perform binocular surgery at the same time. However, whether the surgery should be performed at the same time or not should be evaluated and decided according to the individual condition of the patient. When deciding to accept surgery, patients should consult their doctors to carefully understand the indications, advantages, processes and risks of surgery, so as to make a wise decision.
