Nanjing All Femtosecond Public Hospital: Is laser therapy safe and effective for myopia?
With the continuous progress of science and technology, laser treatment of myopia has gradually attracted people's attention. Nanjing All Femtosecond Public Hospital, as a medical institution with rich experience, provides laser myopia treatment services. However, there are still some disputes about the safety and effectiveness of laser treatment for myopia. This article will elaborate on the laser treatment of myopia from the aspects of the surgical process, the risk of complications, the treatment effect and the applicable population.
Operation process
The operation process of laser treatment of myopia generally includes the following steps: preoperative examination, anesthesia, corneal ablation, laser correction, corneal repair, etc. First, the hospital will conduct a detailed examination to ensure that the patient is suitable for laser treatment. During the operation, the patient will receive local anesthesia to ensure the smooth operation. Then, doctors will use laser equipment to precisely cut the patient's cornea to correct myopia. Finally, the cornea will be repaired by natural healing without suturing.
The operation process of laser treatment for myopia is relatively simple, and patients usually only need one operation to improve their vision. The operation process is painless and the postoperative recovery is fast, so it is favored by patients.
Risk of complications
Although laser treatment of myopia is relatively safe during the operation, there is still a certain risk of complications. Common complications include xerophthalmia, photosensitivity, diplopia, and decreased vision. These complications are mainly caused by the incomplete healing of the incision on the cornea after surgery, and generally disappear within a few days to weeks after surgery.
In addition to common complications, very few patients may have serious complications, such as corneal infection, corneal pain, etc. In order to reduce these risks, the hospital will strictly control the surgical conditions to ensure that the surgical equipment and doctor's operation meet the standards. In addition, patients need to follow the doctor's advice after the operation, review regularly, and find and deal with potential problems in a timely manner.
treatment effect
After most patients receive laser treatment for myopia, their vision will be significantly improved and they will no longer rely on glasses or contact lenses. After surgery, the degree of myopia of patients will usually be significantly reduced and their vision will be significantly improved. However, the therapeutic effect may vary from individual to individual. Some patients may have a degree rise and need to wear glasses again or undergo corrective surgery.
In addition, laser treatment of myopia can also improve the patient's eye health and prevent further development of myopia. Long term research shows that laser treatment of myopia can slow down or prevent the further increase of myopia, which is of great significance for children and adolescents.
intended for
Laser treatment of myopia is suitable for myopia patients over 18 years old with stable degree. In addition, patients also need to meet a series of other conditions, such as good eye health, no other eye problems, no pregnancy or lactation. For older patients who have other eye diseases or do not meet the surgical conditions, laser treatment of myopia may not be suitable.
In addition, laser treatment of myopia is not a one-time solution. With the growth of age, vision may decline again, and corresponding measures need to be taken to manage myopia.
In conclusion, the laser treatment for myopia provided by Nanjing All Femtosecond Public Hospital is safe and effective, but there is still a risk of complications. Before deciding to receive laser treatment, patients should fully understand the information about the surgical process, complication risk, treatment effect and applicable population, consult with doctors in detail, and carefully weigh the advantages and disadvantages.
