How long does myopic surgery take in Shanghai Eye Hospital?
In modern society, myopia has become an eye disease that troubles many people. As a big city in China, Shanghai has many eye hospitals, among which Shanghai Eye Hospital is a highly praised medical institution. For the patients who are about to undergo myopic surgery, one of their most concerned issues is how long the surgery will take. I will elaborate on the following four aspects: operation time, preoperative preparation, operation process and postoperative recovery.
Operation time
Myopia surgery in Shanghai Eye Hospital usually takes only a few minutes to complete. The specific time required varies with different surgical methods. For example, the common laser myopia surgery (LASIK) usually takes only 10-15 minutes. Surface mirror surgery (PRK) takes a little longer, about 30 minutes. Although the operation time is not long, a series of necessary preparations need to be made before the operation.
Preoperative preparation
Before myopic surgery, Shanghai Eye Hospital will conduct a detailed examination and evaluation of the patient. This includes fundus examination, corneal topography, diopter measurement, etc. Through these examinations, doctors can learn about the patient's eye conditions, so as to select the most suitable surgical method. In addition, the doctor will give preoperative guidance to patients, and inform them of the precautions for surgery and postoperative precautions.
In addition, it is also necessary to stop wearing contact lenses for a period of time before surgery to ensure that the morphology of the cornea is relatively stable. Generally speaking, patients who wear hard contact lenses need to stop using them for more than 2 weeks, while patients who use soft contact lenses need to stop using them for more than 1 week. These preoperative preparations are to ensure the smooth operation and postoperative recovery.
Operation process
On the day of surgery, the patient needs to go to Shanghai Eye Hospital for surgery. Before the operation, the doctor will conduct a comprehensive examination of the patient to confirm the patient's eye condition. Then, the patient enters the operating room for anesthesia and localization. During surgery, doctors use lasers or surgical instruments to repair the cornea. After surgery, the doctor will bandage the eyes and give appropriate eyedrops, and observe the patients after surgery.
Postoperative recovery
After surgery, the patient needs to recover for a period of time. Generally speaking, on the day of operation, patients can go home to rest and wear protective glasses designated by doctors. A few days after surgery, the patient may have blurred vision, eye discomfort and other symptoms, which is a normal reaction. After several weeks, the patient's vision will gradually recover to a better level.
In a word, myopia surgery in Shanghai Eye Hospital usually takes only a few minutes to complete, and the operation time may be slightly different. Before the operation, the doctor will make detailed preoperative preparations to ensure the success of the operation. During the operation, doctors will use advanced technology to repair the eyes. After surgery, patients need a period of recovery to gradually recover to better vision. For patients who want to have myopia surgery, Shanghai Eye Hospital can provide safe and professional medical services.
