Experts from Chengdu Huaxia Eye Hospital said: Does laser treatment of myopia have lasting effect?

Myopia is a common eye problem, and patients often hope to find an effective treatment to get rid of the shackles of glasses or contact lenses. Laser treatment of myopia has attracted much attention. It can transform the eyeball through laser to improve myopia. However, many people are concerned about whether it has lasting effects. Now, let's listen to the opinions of experts from Chengdu Huasha Eye Hospital.

The principle of laser therapy for myopia

Laser treatment of myopia is to use excimer laser or femtosecond laser to cut the cornea locally, change the curvature of the cornea, so as to achieve the purpose of correcting vision. This process mainly includes three steps:

First, professional doctors will use computer controlled laser and other equipment to measure the corneal thickness and image the eyes. Then, according to the measurement results, the doctor accurately etched a thin and flat material layer on the surface of the patient's eyeball. Finally, the corneal surface regenerates a more flat shape, thereby improving the patient's myopia.

The effect of laser therapy on myopia

According to experts from Chengdu Huaxia Eye Hospital, laser treatment of myopia can indeed improve the myopia of patients and improve their eyesight to a certain extent. However, laser treatment of myopia is not suitable for every patient, and different patients may have different effects. The durability of the treatment effect is also a matter of great concern to patients.

According to statistical data, the effective rate of laser treatment of myopia can reach more than 85%. More than 90% of the patients can have good vision after surgery and return to the normal vision range. However, the persistence of the treatment effect requires regular reexamination and follow-up observation after surgery, because individual patients may have vision fluctuations or myopia again.

Influencing factors of lasting effect

Experts from Chengdu Huaxia Eye Hospital pointed out that the lasting effect of laser treatment of myopia is affected by many factors:

First, the degree of myopia and corneal thickness are important factors that affect the treatment effect. Generally speaking, the patients with higher myopia degree and thinner cornea have relatively poor effect after treatment.

Secondly, the patient's age will also have an impact on the lasting effect. Because of the advantages of corneal biology, young patients have better lasting effects. Older patients need to be more cautious, because age may increase myopia again.

Finally, patients' living habits and eye care are also important factors affecting the effect. The key to prolonging the therapeutic effect is to maintain a reasonable habit of using eyes and regularly carry out eye care.

summary

To sum up, laser treatment of myopia has been widely used in Chengdu Huasha Eye Hospital, and has achieved remarkable therapeutic effects. Although individual patients may have vision fluctuation or myopia again, the lasting effect of laser treatment of myopia is reliable by selecting suitable patients, paying attention to regular examinations and eye care after surgery. Therefore, for myopic patients who are eager to get rid of glasses, laser treatment is a choice worth considering.
