Therapeutic effect of laser surgery in Shanghai Eye Hospital
As a common ophthalmic surgery, laser surgery is widely used to treat a variety of eye diseases. As a professional ophthalmic hospital, Shanghai Eye Hospital also provides laser surgery services. But can laser surgery completely cure eye diseases? The following is a detailed description of this problem from the aspects of surgical treatment methods, treatment effect persistence, surgical risks and applicable conditions.
1. Surgical treatment
Laser surgery is to treat eye diseases by applying high-energy beam generated by laser to eye tissues. The main laser operations used by Shanghai Eye Hospital include myopia laser surgery (LASIK/LASEK/PRK), cataract laser surgery and glaucoma laser surgery. Different surgical methods are applicable to different eye diseases, and doctors will choose the most appropriate surgical method according to the specific conditions of patients.
For example, laser surgery for myopia is to remove part of the tissue on the corneal surface by laser, thus changing the curvature of the cornea, so as to achieve the effect of correcting vision. Cataract laser surgery is to use a laser to crush the turbid lens in the patient's eyes, remove the debris through the absorption system in the body, and finally implant an intraocular lens to restore vision.
2. Sustainability of treatment effect
The treatment effect of laser surgery in Shanghai Eye Hospital is usually lasting. Depending on the patient's eye disease, surgical treatment can completely correct vision problems, so that patients can get rid of glasses or contact lenses. For example, in LASIK laser surgery, the change of corneal surface is permanent, and the vision correction effect can usually last for several years or even for life.
However, it should be noted that some eye diseases, such as cataract, may require multiple operations to maintain vision due to the patient's age. In addition, in some cases, the patient's eye disease may recur and need further treatment.
3. Operation risk
Although laser surgery has a high success rate, there are still some surgical risks. In order to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the operation, the doctors of Shanghai Eye Hospital will conduct a detailed eye examination before the operation to ensure that patients are suitable for laser surgery.
However, the possible risks include postoperative infection, corneal discomfort, dry eyes, etc., and individual conditions may vary. In order to reduce the risk, patients need to strictly follow the doctor's postoperative nursing guidance, and regularly review to ensure the surgical effect.
4. Applicable condition
Laser surgery is applicable to a series of eye diseases, but not all eye diseases can be completely cured by laser surgery. In general, laser surgery is applicable to myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, cataract, glaucoma and other common eye diseases.
However, some complicated eye diseases, such as retinal detachment, vitreous hemorrhage, fundus diseases, etc., may require other surgical methods or treatments. Therefore, before accepting laser surgery, patients need to accept the evaluation and advice of professional doctors.
summary
Laser surgery can effectively cure a series of eye diseases in Shanghai Eye Hospital. Through different surgical methods, doctors can correct vision and improve eye health. However, patients need to fully communicate and understand with doctors before surgery in terms of the persistence of surgical effects, surgical risks and applicable conditions. Through the guidance of professional doctors and the active cooperation of patients, laser surgery is expected to bring better treatment results and improve the quality of life for patients with eye diseases.
