What age is suitable for femtosecond surgery in Shanghai New Vision Eye Hospital

With the development of femtosecond laser technology, the femtosecond surgery provided by Shanghai New Vision Eye Hospital has become one of the conventional options for correcting myopia. However, not every age group is suitable for femtosecond surgery. The following is detailed from several aspects.

Eye health

First of all, the femtosecond surgery needs to ensure good eye health. Corneal curvature, corneal thickness and other parameters should be within a certain standard range. Specifically, if the cornea is too thin, corneal disease, corneal infection and other problems exist, it is not suitable for femtosecond surgery. Therefore, before femtosecond surgery, you must go to a professional eye hospital for a comprehensive eye examination to determine whether the eye health is suitable for surgery.

Secondly, if there is a history of eye disease, inflammation or other eye surgery, such as cataract surgery, the effect of femtosecond surgery may also be affected. In this case, the doctor will judge whether the operation is suitable according to personal conditions.

Age factor

Femtosecond surgery is mainly suitable for the age range of 18 to 50 years old. At this age, the physiological state of the cornea is relatively stable. The cornea of younger people is still in the development stage, and the degree of myopia may also change; Older people's corneas may have begun to age, and the surgical effect may not be as significant as that of young people.

However, this is not to say that people over 50 years old cannot perform femtosecond surgery at all. For some individuals, if their eyes are in good health and meet the conditions for other operations, doctors can also consider operating for them. Therefore, when deciding whether to perform femtosecond surgery, it is also necessary to consider the personal situation comprehensively.

Stable myopia

The myopic degree of femtosecond surgery should be stable. If the degree of myopia continues to increase or fluctuate, the effect of surgery may be affected. Generally, doctors recommend that the degree of myopia be stabilized for at least two years before considering femtosecond surgery. This time period is long enough to better judge the stable state of the cornea, so as to ensure the effect of surgery.

In addition, there are some people with high myopia. Although femtosecond surgery can also be performed, it may require multiple operations to achieve the desired correction effect. Therefore, when deciding on the operation, it is also necessary to consider the personal acceptance and expectation of the operation process.

Summary

In general, the age range suitable for femtosecond surgery in Shanghai New Vision Eye Hospital is 18 to 50 years old. However, age is not the only determinant. Eye health, stability of myopia, etc. are also factors to be considered. When deciding whether to perform femtosecond surgery, you must go to a regular eye hospital for comprehensive examination and consultation, and work with doctors to develop a suitable surgical plan.
