Does retinal detachment need surgery?
Retinal detachment is a common ophthalmic disease, which can lead to decreased vision and even blindness. For many patients, they may worry about whether surgery is needed to treat retinal detachment. In Dalian Chaoju Eye Hospital, we learned the seriousness of retinal detachment, and provided professional treatment plans, personalized treatment for each patient's condition.
Necessity of surgical treatment of retinal detachment
Retinal detachment refers to the separation of the retina from the posterior wall of the eyeball. If not treated in time, it will lead to insufficient retinal blood supply, retinal dysfunction, and even permanent blindness in serious cases. Therefore, surgery is necessary for patients with retinal detachment.
The common methods for surgical treatment of retinal detachment include laser therapy, cryotherapy and scleral external fixation. These operations are aimed at repairing the position of the retina and making it adhere to the back wall of the eyeball again to restore normal retinal function.
Laser therapy is a commonly used surgical method at present. It uses high-energy laser beam to attach the retina to the back wall of the eyeball. This treatment is simple, non-invasive and has a high success rate.
Indications for surgical treatment
Surgical treatment of retinal detachment is not applicable to all patients. In Dalian Chaoju Eye Hospital, we decide whether to perform surgery according to the patient's condition characteristics.
First, the degree of retinal detachment is an important factor in determining the surgical treatment. For the initial and localized retinal detachment, laser treatment and other mild methods can be selected for repair. For patients with advanced or extensive shedding, more complicated surgical treatment is required.
Secondly, the patient's age and general health are also important factors in judging the indications for surgical treatment. Young people and healthy patients are often more suitable for surgery because their retinas have better self-healing ability.
Nursing and recovery after operation
After surgical treatment, the patient needs to be nursed and recovered in strict accordance with the doctor's instructions. In Dalian Chaoju Eye Hospital, we will provide detailed postoperative nursing guidance for each patient to ensure the success of the operation and the recovery of the patient.
After surgery, the patient needs to keep the eye clean and avoid wiping the eye hard to prevent infection. In addition, patients need to pay attention to avoiding light, follow the doctor's medication guidance, and regularly review their vision and fundus.
During recovery, patients should avoid strenuous exercise and heavy physical labor to avoid further damage to the eyes. The doctor will make a suitable rehabilitation plan according to the specific situation of the patient, including eye exercises and regular reexamination.
Summary
Retinal detachment is a serious ophthalmic disease, which needs surgical treatment in time. Dalian Chaoju Eye Hospital provides personalized treatment for patients with retinal detachment through laser therapy, cryotherapy and external scleral fixation.
The indication of surgical treatment depends on the patient's condition characteristics, the degree of retinal detachment, the patient's age and general health. Postoperative care and recovery are equally important. After surgery, patients should pay attention to eye cleaning, avoiding light, and medication and reexamination according to the doctor's instructions.
If you or your family members have trouble with retinal detachment, please consult a professional ophthalmologist in time to obtain the treatment scheme that is most suitable for your individual situation.
