intended for

The myopia surgery in Shanghai Eye Hospital is applicable to multiple populations, including but not limited to the following situations.

First, it is suitable for people over 18 years of age with stable myopia. Because the growth and development of the eyes will not stop until the age of 18, surgery before this age may lead to unsatisfactory results due to changes in degree. For patients with stable degree, the postoperative effect is more obvious.

Secondly, it is suitable for myopia patients of different degrees. Whether it is low myopia or high myopia, surgery can be considered. However, for patients with high myopia, a more detailed ophthalmic examination is required before surgery to assess the risk of surgery.

In addition, it is suitable for people with certain eye health. Myopic surgery can not only cure myopia, but also have an impact on eye health. Therefore, people without other eye diseases or problems are more suitable for surgery. If the patient has dry eyes, keratopathy and other problems, relevant treatment should be carried out before surgery.

Operation mode

Shanghai Ophthalmology Hospital provides a variety of myopia surgery methods, and selects the appropriate surgery methods according to the specific conditions of patients.

Among them, laser myopia surgery is the most common way. This operation uses a laser to correct myopia by changing the shape of the cornea. Common laser surgery includes LASIK, SMILE and PRK, and each method has its own advantages and indications.

In addition, there is lens implantation. For older or more myopic patients, lens implantation can be used to implant intraocular lens during surgery to correct myopia.

Whether it is laser surgery or lens implantation, a detailed ophthalmic examination is required before surgery to assess the patient's eye condition, surgical risk and postoperative effect.

Surgical risk

Although myopic surgery has a significant effect in treating myopia, there are also certain surgical risks.

First, dry eye symptoms may occur after surgery. The corneal surface will be damaged during the operation, which may lead to dry eyes, pain and other discomfort. Generally, this discomfort will gradually reduce within a few weeks after the operation.

In addition, postoperative vision problems may occur after surgery, such as hazy vision, halo, etc. These problems usually gradually alleviate within weeks to months, but some patients may persist.

There is also a small probability of infection, corneal scar and other complications during the operation. Therefore, when choosing the surgical method and hospital, patients need to choose a formal and experienced eye hospital.

Summary

The myopic surgery in Shanghai Eye Hospital is suitable for people over 18 years old with stable myopia degree and good eye health. The surgical methods include laser surgery and lens implantation, and appropriate surgical methods need to be selected according to the patient's conditions. Although myopic surgery has a significant effect in treating myopia, there are also certain surgical risks, and patients need to make decisions based on understanding the risks.
