What age group is femtosecond surgery suitable for in a hospital in Guangzhou?

With the increasing prevalence of myopia, more and more people begin to pay attention to and choose eye surgery to correct their vision. As a relatively advanced surgical technology, the femtosecond surgery provided by a hospital in Guangzhou has attracted much attention. However, femtosecond surgery is not suitable for people of all ages. In the next article, I will elaborate on the suitable age groups for femtosecond surgery from the aspects of age, eye health, surgical stability and postoperative care.

1. Age

Femtosecond surgery is suitable for a wide range of ages. Generally, adults over 18 years old can consider this surgery. Because the growth and development of the eye is not stable before the age of 18, and the eye condition will change greatly, it is not recommended to perform surgery at this age. For the middle-aged and elderly over 35 years old, due to the increase of senile eye diseases, the surgical effect is not ideal. Therefore, for this age group, it is recommended to improve their vision problems by other ways.

Femtosecond surgery is effective in the age range of 18 to 35 years. At this age, the growth and development of the eye is basically stable, and the eye condition is relatively stable. At the same time, in this age group, the risk of surgery is relatively low due to the low degree of myopia. Therefore, it is in this age group that femtosecond surgery is most widely used.

2. Eye health

In addition to age, the candidate's eye health is also an important factor in considering femtosecond surgery. Before surgery, doctors need to conduct a comprehensive eye examination to ensure that there are no other existing eye diseases, such as glaucoma, intraocular pressure problems or severe dry eye. If these problems exist, femtosecond surgery may face more risks, and the surgical effect will also be affected.

In addition, corneal thickness is also a factor that determines whether candidates are suitable for femtosecond surgery. Femtosecond surgery requires laser to cut the cornea, so sufficient thickness of the cornea is the prerequisite for surgery. The doctor will measure the candidate's cornea before the operation to ensure the feasibility of the operation.

3. Surgical stability

Femtosecond surgery has high surgical stability, which means that the vision after surgery is relatively stable. However, the stability of postoperative vision may be affected for patients with high myopia or severe fluctuations in myopia in a short time. This is because surgery can only correct the refraction of the anterior surface of the eyeball, and there is no way to solve the later refractive changes. Therefore, the effect of femtosecond surgery may be limited for patients with high myopia or large recent fluctuation.

4. Postoperative nursing

Although femtosecond surgery is a minimally invasive surgery, it also requires postoperative recovery and care. Postoperative nursing is one of the keys to good or bad surgical results. The patient needs to use antibiotic eyedrops according to the doctor's recommendations, and return to the doctor regularly. In a few weeks after the operation, the patient needs to avoid strenuous exercise and some activities to avoid impact on the eyes.

To sum up, the femtosecond surgery performed by a hospital in Guangzhou is suitable for patients aged between 18 and 35 with good eye health and stable myopia. The operation effect is stable, and postoperative recovery and nursing are needed. If you meet these conditions, you may want to consider femtosecond surgery to improve your vision.
