What are the sequelae of myopia lens in Shanghai Eye Hospital?
Myopia is one of the common vision problems of modern people. Many people choose to have myopic lens surgery to improve their vision. However, myopic lens surgery is not completely without risks, and some sequelae may occur after surgery. Next, we will elaborate on the sequelae of myopia lens in Shanghai Eye Hospital from four aspects: vision recovery, dry eye, keratopathy and surgical failure.
1. Vision recovery
After myopic lens surgery, most patients will recover their vision within hours to days. However, some patients may have slow or incomplete vision recovery. This may be caused by postoperative inflammatory reaction, postoperative edema or complications during the operation. For these patients, Shanghai Eye Hospital will conduct further evaluation and treatment according to individual conditions to promote the complete recovery of vision.
In addition, myopic lens surgery may also lead to unstable vision after surgery. Some patients may have vision fluctuations, halos or dryness. These symptoms usually gradually alleviate in a few weeks or months, but for a few patients may last longer, or even require additional corrective measures.
2. Dry eye
Dry eye is one of the most common sequelae of myopic lens surgery. Corneal tissue cut or excised during surgery may affect the normal secretion and stability of tears, resulting in dryness, pain and blurred vision after surgery. These symptoms usually occur within a few weeks after surgery and may last for months to years.
Shanghai Eye Hospital will evaluate and treat dry eye according to the specific conditions of patients. Common treatment methods include artificial tear drops, moisturizing eye masks and avoiding the use of electronic devices for a long time. For severe dry eye symptoms, the hospital may also consider corneal transplantation and other surgical treatments.
3. Corneopathy
Myopic lens surgery may lead to postoperative keratopathy. Corneal diseases include corneal brittleness, corneal thinning or corneal scar. These lesions may lead to decreased vision, light sensitivity and eye discomfort. When performing myopic lens surgery in Shanghai Eye Hospital, appropriate surgical methods will be selected according to the patient's corneal conditions to minimize the occurrence of corneal diseases.
The hospital will treat the patients who have had keratopathy according to the specific conditions. For example, use oral or ophthalmic drugs to control inflammation, or use surgical methods such as corneal transplantation to repair damaged corneas.
4. Operation failure
Although the technique of myopic lens surgery is mature, there is still a risk of failure. The failure of operation may be that the vision after operation does not reach the expected effect, or the postoperative complications seriously affect the vision. The reasons for the failure of surgery may include the inaccuracy during the surgery, insufficient preoperative evaluation and individual differences of patients.
Shanghai Eye Hospital will reduce the risk of operation failure as much as possible through adequate preoperative examination and evaluation. For patients who failed the operation, the hospital will carry out further treatment or surgical repair according to the specific situation.
Summary
Myopic lens surgery in Shanghai Eye Hospital is a mature technology, which can effectively improve the vision of myopic patients. However, after surgery, there may still be sequelae such as vision recovery, dry eye, keratopathy and surgical failure. For these sequelae, the hospital will evaluate and treat them according to the specific conditions of patients to maximize the quality of life of patients.
