To what extent is femtosecond surgery suitable for myopia in Shanghai New Vision Eye Hospital?
With the development of science and technology, femtosecond laser surgery has become a common method for myopia correction. As a highly praised eye hospital in Shanghai, Shanghai New Vision Eye Hospital, with its excellent technology and advanced equipment, has conducted in-depth research and precise classification on the scope of application of femtosecond surgery. This article will elaborate on the degree of myopia that femtosecond surgery is applicable to from four aspects: angle, degree, corneal thickness and age.
angle
Femtosecond surgery is suitable for myopia patients with normal eye shape. For patients with corneal diseases, arc-shaped corneas and other conditions, a detailed professional evaluation is required to determine the surgical plan. In Shanghai New Vision Eye Hospital, experts will evaluate whether patients are suitable for femtosecond surgery through a series of examinations, such as corneal topography and corneal thickness detection.
Femtosecond surgery is also suitable for patients with severe myopia. For patients with low myopia, other treatment methods can be selected, such as contact lens correction.
In addition, if the patient is accompanied by other eye diseases, such as glaucoma, cataract, etc., femtosecond surgery may not be suitable. Therefore, the patient must inform the doctor of his medical history and other diseases in detail before accepting surgery.
degrees
Femtosecond surgery is applicable to patients with myopia between -1.00 and -10.00. For patients with extremely high myopia (more than - 10.00), the success rate of surgery will be reduced and needs to be evaluated more carefully. Generally speaking, doctors will make correct decisions by considering the feasibility and risks of femtosecond surgery in combination with patients' eyeballs. In Shanghai New Vision Eye Hospital, patients' surgical decisions are individualized, and doctors will make comprehensive assessments from multiple perspectives to ensure the safety and feasibility of surgery.
Corneal thickness
Corneal thickness is also an important index to judge the applicability of femtosecond surgery. Femtosecond laser surgery involves making a thin flap layer inside the cornea, and then correcting myopia. Therefore, the cornea is thick enough to ensure the success of the operation.
Generally speaking, people with corneal thickness above 480 microns are suitable for femtosecond surgery. If the corneal thickness is thin, the doctor may recommend the patient to choose other treatment methods, such as ICL implantation. Experts from Shanghai New Vision Eye Hospital will determine the patient's corneal thickness and provide professional advice through detailed examination.
Age
Femtosecond surgery is suitable for patients aged between 18 and 55 years. The eyeball growth at this age is stable, and generally there will be no obvious changes. For patients under 18 years old, their eyeballs are still growing, so the effect after surgery may be unstable. For patients over 55 years old, there may be other eye diseases, and the degree of myopia may not be the main problem.
In a word, the femtosecond surgery in Shanghai New Vision Eye Hospital is suitable for patients with normal myopia angle, moderate degree (- 1.00 to - 10.00), sufficient corneal thickness (more than 480 microns) and between the ages of 18 and 55. If you meet the above conditions and want to know more about femtosecond surgery, it is recommended to consult a professional doctor in time to determine the best treatment plan.
