Shanghai Eye Hospital, which is better, myopic lens or glasses?
The eye is one of the important sense organs of human beings, and myopia is one of the common eye problems of modern people. With the development of science and technology, the solutions to myopia are more and more diversified. The ophthalmic hospital provides patients with two main solutions: myopia lens implantation surgery and glasses correction. So, which is better, myopic lens or glasses? In this article, we will analyze this problem in detail from several aspects.
Operation effect and vision recovery
From the perspective of surgical effect and vision recovery, myopic lens implantation is superior to glasses correction to a certain extent. The surgery can change the position and shape of the lens without damaging the structure of the eyeball, so as to achieve vision correction. The far and near vision of patients after surgery can be significantly improved, and many people can even wear ordinary glasses with no degree to see objects in the distance and near.
In contrast, glasses correction can only improve vision through external vision correction devices, and can not really change the eye structure and the development of myopia. Moreover, due to the thickness and distortion of glasses, patients may feel uncomfortable and visual distortion when observing objects.
Therefore, in terms of surgical effect and vision recovery, myopic lens implantation surgery is better.
Operation risk and postoperative life
Like any other surgery, myopic lens implantation surgery also has certain risks. Although modern medical technology has been very advanced and the risk of surgery has been greatly reduced, there may still be eye inflammation, dryness and other uncomfortable symptoms after surgery. In addition, in the case of complications during the operation, it may affect the postoperative vision recovery. Therefore, it is necessary to consult a professional doctor and conduct a risk assessment before selecting an operation.
In contrast, there is no surgical risk and postoperative discomfort in glasses correction. Wearing glasses is a relatively safe and simple method. You only need to go to the optician's shop to measure your vision, and choose the right frame and lens for yourself, and you can quickly restore your vision. Moreover, glasses can be easily adjusted and replaced to adapt to different scenes and needs.
Therefore, in terms of surgical risk and postoperative life, glasses correction is better.
Economic cost and long-term investment
From the perspective of economic cost and long-term investment, spectacle correction is obviously more economical. The cost of buying a pair of myopia glasses is far lower than the price of myopia lens implantation surgery. Moreover, glasses can be reused, and only the lenses need to be replaced regularly, which greatly reduces the economic cost of the whole correction process.
In contrast, myopic lens implantation surgery requires professional medical equipment and operating room, and requires professional trained doctors to operate, so the operation cost is high. In addition, once the operation is completed, it cannot be reversed. If there are complications after the operation and it needs to be re operated, the long-term investment will also increase.
Therefore, glasses correction is better in terms of economic cost and long-term investment.
Summary
To sum up, we can't generalize which is better between myopia lens and glasses, but we should consider it comprehensively according to individual needs and actual conditions. If you pay attention to the surgical effect and vision recovery, you can choose myopic lens implantation surgery; If you pay attention to the surgical risk and postoperative life, as well as the economic cost and long-term investment, glasses correction may be more suitable for you. No matter which method you choose, you should consult a professional ophthalmologist and receive personalized advice and guidance before any eye correction.
