Shanghai New Vision Eye Hospital: Can myopia be treated with laser surgery?

With the increasing number of myopia patients, laser surgery has become one of the choices for many people to correct their vision. Shanghai New Vision Eye Hospital, as a professional eye hospital, provides comprehensive laser surgery services. However, for patients with myopia, they may have questions: Can laser surgery be performed on myopia? This paper will elaborate on this issue from four aspects.

Applicable population of laser surgery

First of all, we need to understand the scope of the population for laser surgery. Laser surgery is mainly applicable to mature and stable adults with myopia between -1.00 and -10.00. For minors or patients with high myopia, it may be necessary to wait until the vision is stable before considering laser surgery. In addition, laser surgery is not applicable to people with other eye diseases (such as keratopathy, retinal diseases, etc.).

However, even if the patient has myopia and meets the above conditions, whether to perform laser surgery or not needs to be determined according to the specific situation. In fact, different people have different adaptability to laser surgery due to individual differences, corneal conditions and other factors.

Safety of laser surgery

Patients with myopia may worry about the safety of laser surgery. In response to this problem, Shanghai New Vision Eye Hospital uses advanced laser equipment and technology to ensure the safety of the surgical process. In addition, the hospital has a team of experienced ophthalmologists who will carry out personalized surgery programs according to the specific conditions of patients.

The safety of laser surgery is also related to doctors' experience and surgical techniques. Shanghai New Vision Ophthalmology Hospital has experienced ophthalmologists, and insists on comprehensive preoperative examination and postoperative follow-up observation to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the operation.

Effects and risks of laser surgery

Laser surgery can significantly improve the vision of myopic patients, so that they no longer rely on glasses or contact lenses. After surgery, many patients have significantly reduced their myopia, and even can achieve normal naked eye vision. However, the effect of surgery is affected by individual differences. For patients with higher degrees, additional corrective surgery may be required.

In addition, laser surgery also has certain risks. Postoperative discomfort such as dryness, photosensitivity and vision fluctuation may occur, but most of these symptoms will disappear within a few days or weeks. Some rare complications, such as infection and corneal scar, also have certain probability. However, doctors can minimize these risks through comprehensive preoperative examination and standardized postoperative care.

Summary

To sum up, Shanghai New Vision Eye Hospital, as a professional eye hospital, provides laser surgery services for myopia patients under certain conditions. Through specific examination and personalized surgery plan, doctors will decide whether laser surgery is suitable according to the specific conditions of patients. Laser surgery is safe and effective, but it is still accompanied by certain risks. Before deciding to perform laser surgery, patients should understand the scope of application, safety, effects and risks of surgery in detail, and make a decision under the guidance of doctors.
