Dalian Chaoju Eye Hospital - What are the methods of myopia surgery?
Myopia is a very common vision problem in modern society, which seriously affects people's quality of life. In order to solve the problem of myopia, more and more people begin to consider myopia surgery. In Dalian Chaoju Eye Hospital, professional ophthalmologists provide a variety of myopia surgery methods to help patients get rid of glasses or contact lenses. The following will introduce these methods and their characteristics in detail from four aspects: laser surgery, corneal transplantation, lens implantation and corneal shaping lens.
Laser surgery
Laser surgery is one of the most common and mainstream methods to treat myopia. In Dalian Chaoju Eye Hospital, laser surgery commonly used includes LASIK and PRK. LASIK surgery is to make a self recoverable flap on the cornea, and then use laser to correct the tissue under the cornea. PRK is a direct laser correction of the corneal surface. Both of these operations can effectively improve vision, recover quickly after surgery, have low risk, and will not change the shape and structure of the eyeball.
The treatment effect of laser surgery is lasting, and it can usually return to normal life within a few hours after the surgery, but there are also some potential risks and complications, such as dry eye and postoperative vision fluctuation. Therefore, before laser surgery, patients need to undergo detailed eye examination and assessment to ensure the safety and applicability of the surgery.
corneal transplant
Corneal transplantation is an effective choice for myopia patients who cannot be corrected by laser surgery under special circumstances. In corneal transplantation, doctors will replace damaged or irregularly shaped cornea with a healthy donor cornea. This operation is very effective in patients with severe corneal diseases and other eye diseases, and can significantly improve vision.
However, the risk of corneal transplantation is higher, and the recovery time is longer. Patients need to wear rigid contact lenses or corneal shaping lenses to protect the cornea and help repair, and they need to use anti rejection drugs for a long time. Therefore, corneal transplantation is usually considered when other treatments are ineffective.
Crystal implantation
Lens implantation is a surgical method to correct myopia by implanting intraocular lens. In Dalian Chaoju Eye Hospital, common lens implantation operations include ICL and RLE. ICL is to implant an intraocular lens into the eye to change the refraction of the eye, thus correcting myopia. RLE is to replace its own lens with intraocular lens. Lens implantation is suitable for older patients or those with high myopia.
Lens implantation is a safe and effective method to treat myopia, which will not change the shape and structure of the cornea, and can also correct other refractive errors at the same time. However, the intraocular lens implantation has certain restrictions on the adjustment of corneal diopter, and the surgical risk needs to be jointly evaluated and selected by patients and doctors.
Keratoscope
Orthokeratoscope is a non operative method for myopia correction. Patients wear specially designed corneal shaping glasses when sleeping, and change the curvature of the cornea by applying pressure on the cornea to achieve the purpose of myopia correction. After the lens is removed in the daytime, the cornea will still maintain the corresponding shape, so as to achieve temporary myopia correction.
The advantages of corneal plastic lens are no surgery, no risk, no invasion, and can be stopped when needed. However, since the lenses must be worn during sleep, patients need to develop good wearing habits and return regularly. In addition, compared with surgery, the corrective effect of corneal plastic lens is relatively short, and the lens needs to be replaced regularly.
Summary
Through the above introduction, we know that the myopia surgery provided by Dalian Chaoju Eye Hospital includes laser surgery, corneal transplantation, lens implantation and corneal plastic lens.
Laser surgery is the most common myopic correction surgery, with small trauma, fast recovery and lasting effect.
Corneal transplantation is suitable for those patients who cannot obtain myopia correction by other methods, but the operation risk is high.
Lens implantation can correct severe myopia, but patients need careful evaluation and selection.
Orthokeratoscope is a non operative method for myopia correction, but the effect is relatively short.
According to the specific conditions of individuals and the suggestions of doctors, patients can choose their own myopia correction methods, and receive guidance and treatment from professional ophthalmologists in Dalian Chaoju Eye Hospital.
