Shanghai New Vision Eye Hospital: Can myopic surgery cure?
In modern society, myopia has become a common vision problem. In order to improve the quality of life of myopia patients, Shanghai New Vision Eye Hospital has been committed to the research of myopia surgery technology, and has achieved remarkable results. However, many people have doubts about whether myopic surgery can completely cure myopia. This article will elaborate on myopia surgery from four aspects: the principle of surgery, the type of surgery, the effect of surgery and the risk of surgery.
Operation principle
The core principle of myopia surgery is to change the refractive state of the eye, so that the light can be correctly focused on the retina, thereby improving vision. At present, the most commonly used method is laser myopia surgery, which uses laser technology to cut a thin layer on the cornea to change the curvature and diopter of the cornea.
The goal of myopia surgery is to reduce or eliminate the dependence of patients on myopia glasses or contact lenses as far as possible, so that they can obtain clear vision in daily life. However, it should be noted that myopic surgery cannot solve the problem of eye growth, so regular reexamination and glasses matching are still required after surgery.
Type of operation
According to the principle and technology of surgery, the common types of myopia surgery at present include laser corneal correction (LASIK), surface folding (PRK/LASEK) and ICL endoscopic implantation.
LASIK surgery is one of the most common types of myopia surgery. It produces a scoop shaped "corneal flap" on the cornea, then uses laser to thin the inner corneal tissue, and finally resets the corneal flap to change the refractive state.
PRK/LASEK surgery is similar to LASIK surgery, but it does not need to make corneal flap. Instead, laser is directly applied to cells on the upper surface of the cornea to change the curvature and diopter of the cornea.
ICL intraocular lens implantation is a surgical method suitable for patients with high myopia. It can change the refractive state of the eye by implanting adjustable ophthalmic endoscope in the eye, so as to achieve the purpose of correcting vision.
Operation effect and risk
The effect of myopic surgery varies with individual differences and types of surgery. Based on the rich experience of Shanghai New Vision Eye Hospital, the probability of successful surgery is usually high, and most patients can significantly improve their vision after surgery. However, a small number of patients may need to have a second operation or wear glasses or contact lenses to supplement the correction.
Like any surgery, myopia surgery also has certain risks. Comprehensive preoperative vision assessment and professional advice from doctors are very important. Patients may experience complications such as dryness, astigmatism, infection and corneal scar. However, these risks can be minimized under the guidance of qualified doctors and modern surgical equipment.
summary
Through years of clinical practice and technical accumulation, Shanghai New Vision Eye Hospital has successfully helped many myopic patients improve their eyesight. Laser myopia surgery is one of the effective methods to treat myopia. The principle of surgery is clear, and the types of surgery are rich and diverse. However, myopia surgery can not completely cure myopia, but improve vision by changing the refractive state of the eye. The effect of surgery varies from individual to individual. Patients need to operate under the guidance of doctors and understand the potential risks of surgery. To sum up, myopic surgery is a safe and effective treatment option in Shanghai New Vision Eye Hospital, but patients need to make decisions after consulting doctors.
