Chengdu Laser Ophthalmology Hospital: What risks do myopia surgery have to pay attention to?
Chengdu Laser Eye Hospital has rich experience and professional technology in the field of myopia surgery, providing safe and effective surgical services for patients. However, like any other surgery, myopia surgery also has certain risks. Before surgery, patients need to understand these risks and pay attention to matters in order to make wise decisions.
Preoperative examination and screening risk
Preoperative examination and screening are necessary procedures before myopia surgery to determine whether the patient is suitable for surgery. However, there are risks in this process.
First, preoperative examinations may reveal some potential problems. For example, some eye diseases or the shape of the patient's eyeball may not be suitable for surgery, which may require abandoning surgery or choosing other surgical methods.
Secondly, preoperative examination may cause discomfort. Some examinations require special hearing and visual tests, which may cause discomfort or dizziness to patients. In addition, intraocular pressure test and eye anesthesia may also be required, which may cause temporary discomfort or pain.
Finally, the accuracy of preoperative screening also has certain risks. Although following standard inspection procedures and using professional equipment can reduce the error rate, misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis may still occur.
Risk during operation
The operation process of myopia surgery is the key stage of the operation, and there are also certain risks.
First, you may feel uncomfortable during the operation. Although sedatives and anesthetics can alleviate the discomfort of patients, some patients may still feel some pain and eye irritation.
Secondly, infection may occur during the operation. Although the hospital will strictly comply with the requirements of disinfection and aseptic operation, some patients may have postoperative infection. This requires the patient to pay attention to the hygiene requirements after the operation to prevent infection of the affected part.
Finally, the risk of surgical mode selection may occur during the operation. For example, laser surgery may not be able to completely eliminate the degree of myopia, or rebound after surgery. Therefore, patients need to fully communicate with doctors and make decisions according to their own conditions when choosing the operation mode.
Risk of postoperative complications
Postoperative complications are possible risks and problems for patients after surgery.
Postoperative complications may include: unstable vision, dry eye, light sensitivity, eye pain, visual quality decline, etc. These complications may be temporary or long-term. Patients need to understand these potential problems and pay close attention to the changes and symptoms of the eyes after surgery.
In addition, there may be a risk of infection after surgery. Patients need to follow the doctor's recommendations for postoperative care, and pay attention to eye hygiene to reduce the probability of infection.
Risk of surgical sequelae
Some patients may have postoperative sequelae after myopic surgery. Postoperative sequelae refer to situations that may have a lasting impact on vision after surgery.
The postoperative complications may include: light interference, night vision problems, blurred vision of distant objects, etc. These legacy symptoms may affect the patient's daily life and visual experience. Therefore, patients should fully understand these possible impacts and limitations before deciding on surgery, and make decisions according to their own needs and expectations.
Summary
Before choosing to accept myopia surgery, patients need to clearly understand the risks and precautions of surgery. This includes the risk of preoperative examination and screening, the risk of surgical process, the risk of postoperative complications and the risk of postoperative sequelae. Only by truly understanding these risks and being prepared, can patients make wise decisions and obtain satisfactory surgical results.
