Dalian Aier Eye Hospital expert guidance: what surgical methods are suitable for myopia?
With the accelerated pace of modern life and the popularity of intelligent devices, myopia has become a common eye health problem. For some people with high myopia or suffering from myopia in life, surgery can become an effective solution. However, different people and different eye conditions will suit different surgical methods. Under the guidance of experts from Dalian Aier Eye Hospital, we can better understand which surgical methods are suitable for myopia.
1. Laser myopia surgery
Laser myopia surgery is a very common surgical method at present, and is also the most mature and safe choice. Laser myopia surgery can cut the cornea through laser technology to change the corneal curvature, so as to achieve the purpose of correcting myopia.
Common laser myopia surgery includes LASIK (keratomileusis) and PRK (surface punctate keratomileusis). LASIK is suitable for myopic patients with high degree of myopia. The operation process is short and the recovery is fast. PRK surgery is suitable for patients with thin cornea or corneal problems. The surgical trauma is small and the recovery process is slightly longer.
Laser myopia surgery corrects vision by changing the shape of the cornea, and the vision can be significantly improved after surgery. However, laser myopic surgery is not applicable to all myopia patients. Whether it is suitable or not requires professional diagnosis under the guidance of doctors.
2. Lens implantation
Lens implantation is a surgical method to correct myopia by implanting intraocular lens. This kind of surgery is suitable for some patients who cannot accept laser surgery or have high myopia.
The lens implantation surgery can change the path of refraction light by replacing the lens in the eye to achieve the purpose of correcting vision. This kind of surgery can choose multifocal intraocular lens, which can not only correct myopia, but also improve hyperopia and presbyopia.
Lens implantation is a minimally invasive surgery, and the recovery process is relatively long, which requires recovery and adjustment after surgery. Comprehensive examination and evaluation must be carried out before the operation to ensure the success and safety of the operation.
3. Corneal plastic surgery
Keratoplasty is a non operative correction method for myopia, which is suitable for younger myopia patients. This method changes the shape of the cornea by wearing special corneal shaping lenses to correct vision.
Corneal shaping lenses are usually worn at night. After a period of use, the lenses can be removed in the daytime to have better vision. This method is an ideal choice for patients who are not suitable for surgery.
However, corneal plastic surgery needs to wear lenses continuously. If you do not have good hygiene habits or do not adapt to wearing lenses, it may lead to vision rebound or other eye problems. Therefore, before choosing keratoplasty, it is necessary to consult a professional doctor and receive a comprehensive evaluation.
4. Precautions for wearing electronic screen
With the popularity of electronic screens, more and more people are looking at mobile phones, computers, tablets and other electronic devices for a long time. This long-term intensive eye use is easy to induce the occurrence and development of myopia. For those patients with low myopia or younger age, the use of electronic screen wearing is also an important method to prevent and manage myopia.
Experts suggest that every 40 minutes after staring at the electronic screen, you should take a 10 minute rest away from the screen. At the same time, maintaining correct eye posture and proper screen distance can also reduce the risk of myopia. In addition, it can also effectively prevent myopia by participating in outdoor activities and staying away from the radiation and influence of electronic screens.
Summary
The suitable surgical methods for myopia include laser myopia surgery, lens implantation surgery and keratoplasty. Each surgical method has its own indications, advantages and disadvantages. In addition, paying attention to the use of electronic screen is also an important means to prevent and manage myopia. When selecting surgical methods or schemes for myopia management, it is recommended to conduct comprehensive assessment and decision-making according to personal conditions and doctors' suggestions to ensure safety and effectiveness.
