Who is suitable for laser surgery for myopia in Shanghai Eye Hospital?

Laser surgery for myopia, as a common method to treat myopia, has attracted much attention. However, not all myopic patients are suitable for this operation. So, who is suitable for laser surgery for myopia in Shanghai Eye Hospital? Next, we will discuss who is suitable for this operation from the aspects of age, myopia, eye health and psychological factors.

1. Age

Age is an important consideration. Generally speaking, the eyeballs of adults are mature and the eye axis is stable, which is suitable for laser surgery for myopia. However, teenagers' eyeballs are still developing, and the length of the eye axis may change, so teenagers are generally not recommended to undergo surgery. Shanghai Eye Hospital will make a careful assessment according to the patient's age before the operation to ensure the safety and reliability of the operation.

In addition, age is also related to the surgical effect. Generally speaking, the cornea of myopic patients reaches a stable state around the age of 25, when the treatment effect of laser surgery is more ideal. Therefore, age is one of the important factors to consider whether to perform laser surgery for myopia.

2. Myopia degree

The degree of myopia is also an important index to judge whether it is suitable for laser surgery for myopia. In general, patients with degrees between -1.00 and -8.00 are suitable for surgery. However, for patients with a degree of more than - 8.00, ophthalmologists will be more careful to assess their surgical risks. In addition, different surgical techniques require different degrees. Shanghai Eye Hospital will select appropriate surgical techniques according to the specific conditions of each patient to achieve the best therapeutic effect.

3. Eye health

Eye health is one of the important factors to decide whether to accept laser surgery for myopia. Patients with corneal diseases, iris inflammation, glaucoma and other eye diseases are generally not suitable for surgery. In addition, some other eye problems, such as dry eye and conjunctivitis, need to be treated and recuperated before surgery. Shanghai Eye Hospital will conduct a comprehensive eye examination for the patient before the operation to ensure that the patient's eye health meets the operation requirements.

4. Psychological factors

Psychological factors are also one of the factors to be considered when choosing whether to accept laser surgery for myopia. The patient needs to go through the examination and operation process before the operation, and may feel nervous or anxious. Therefore, patients need to have a positive and optimistic attitude, and have sufficient understanding and confidence in surgery. The ophthalmologist of Shanghai Eye Hospital will fully communicate with patients, answer questions and provide necessary psychological support for patients.

summary

When choosing whether to accept laser surgery for myopia in Shanghai Eye Hospital, the patient's age, myopia degree, eye health and psychological factors need to be considered comprehensively. Only under the evaluation and guidance of doctors, patients who meet the surgical conditions are suitable for surgery. Through scientific and reasonable surgical techniques and careful care of the medical team, patients can obtain good myopia correction effect and improve the quality of life.
