Risk of myopia surgery in Shanghai Eye Hospital
Myopic surgery is a common vision correction surgery, which can effectively help patients get rid of the dependence of glasses or contact lenses. However, any surgery has certain risks, including myopia surgery carried out by Shanghai Eye Hospital. This article will elaborate on the risks of myopia surgery in Shanghai Eye Hospital from the aspects of surgical process, surgical effect, postoperative complications and surgical indications.
Risk during operation
Myopia surgery is usually divided into laser surgery and lens implantation surgery. During the operation, laser surgery may cause corneal infection, corneal scar, corneal perforation and other risks; Intraoperative turbidity and lens dislocation may occur during lens implantation. In addition, anesthesia and the use of surgical knives during surgery also have certain risks. Therefore, before choosing the operation method and doctor, the patient should understand the operation process in detail and make decisions under the guidance of the doctor.
In Shanghai Eye Hospital, doctors usually conduct a detailed examination before surgery to ensure that the patient's eyes meet the surgical conditions. At the same time, the doctor will choose the most suitable operation method according to the specific situation of the patient to minimize the risk during the operation.
Risk of surgical effect
The effect of myopia surgery is one of the focuses of patients' attention. After surgery, the patient may have vision regression, that is, the degree of myopia before surgery will be restored. This may be caused by incomplete recovery of cornea during surgery or measurement errors during surgery. In addition, light interference and night vision problems may also occur after surgery.
In order to reduce the risk of surgical effect, Shanghai Eye Hospital will conduct a detailed preoperative evaluation before surgery to ensure the feasibility of surgery, and select the most suitable surgical method according to the patient's myopia and eye structure. After the operation, the doctor will make regular follow-up visits to the patients to find and deal with the abnormalities of the operation effect in time.
Risk of postoperative complications
Every kind of surgery has the risk of postoperative complications, and myopia surgery is no exception. Postoperative complications such as eye infection and keratitis may occur. These complications may lead to vision loss, eye pain and other problems.
Shanghai Ophthalmology Hospital will give detailed guidance on postoperative care of patients after surgery, including the use of antibiotic eye drops, avoiding rubbing eyes, etc. The hospital will also deal with postoperative complications in a timely manner to reduce the damage to vision caused by complications.
Risk of surgical indications
Myopic surgery is not applicable to all patients. For young patients and patients with high myopia, the risk of myopia surgery is relatively high. Young patients may suffer from corneal thinning after surgery because their eyeballs are still developing; The surgical effect may not be ideal for patients with high myopia. In addition, patients with other eye diseases, such as corneal diseases and glaucoma, are also not suitable for myopia surgery.
In Shanghai Eye Hospital, doctors will evaluate the indications of surgery according to the specific conditions of patients, fully communicate with patients, and clearly explain the risks and effects of surgery to patients. This ensures that surgery is only used for eligible patients, minimizing the risk of surgery.
Summary
Although the myopic surgery carried out by Shanghai Eye Hospital can effectively help patients get rid of the shackles of glasses or contact lenses, there are certain risks during the surgery. This includes the risk of operation process, the risk of operation effect, the risk of postoperative complications and the risk of surgical indications. However, under professional institutions such as Shanghai Eye Hospital, doctors will try their best to reduce the risk of surgery and provide patients with comprehensive preoperative evaluation and postoperative care.
Therefore, patients should treat risks rationally when choosing myopia surgery, and fully communicate with doctors to jointly decide whether to perform surgery and which type of surgery to choose. Only on the premise of fully understanding the risks and effects of surgery can patients make wise decisions to obtain satisfactory surgical results.
