Risk of myopic surgery in infants
As a means of improving children's vision, infant myopia surgery has been favored by more and more families in recent years. However, this operation is not entirely without risks. When performing myopic surgery on infants in Dalian Eye Hospital, the following risks need to be considered.
1. Operation risk
The operation of infant myopia is a kind of operation, and any operation has certain risks. The operation process will cause trauma to the eyeball tissue, which may lead to failure of the operation, bleeding during the operation, infection, etc. The baby's eyes are not fully developed, and the operation will cause greater irritation and increase the risk of the operation. Therefore, a comprehensive examination and evaluation should be carried out before surgery to ensure the safety of surgical indications and operations.
In addition, the operation of infant myopia requires the use of laser and other equipment for correction, which will also bring some risks during the operation. Misoperation, equipment failure and other conditions may cause damage to children's eyes.
2. Postoperative complications
After myopic surgery, children may have some complications and discomfort. Dry eye symptoms may occur after surgery, including dryness, burning sensation, pain, etc. This is because the corneal nerve sensitivity is weakened after surgery, which affects the lubrication function of the eyeball. In addition, vision fluctuation and photosensitive response enhancement may also occur after surgery.
In addition, postoperative infection, elevated intraocular pressure and other complications may occur after surgery. These complications may have adverse effects on infants' vision and eye health, and may even require reoperation or long-term drug treatment.
3. Operation effect
The effect of infant myopia surgery is also one of the factors to be considered. After the operation, vision regression or recurrence may occur, which requires re treatment. In addition, postoperative refractive instability may occur after surgery, which requires multiple refractive examinations and adjustments. For infants, their vision is still developing, and the improvement of vision after surgery may also be affected by age, diopter and other factors.
For infant myopia surgery, parents should be fully informed of the uncertainty of the surgical effect before the surgery, and parents' expectations should be reduced as far as possible. In addition, regular reexamination is also required to find and deal with problems after surgery in a timely manner.
4. Psychological influence
The operation is a major traumatic event for infants, which may have a certain impact on their psychology. Before the operation, parents should be prepared and communicate with the baby patiently to help them overcome their fear and anxiety during the operation.
In addition, the recovery process after surgery may also have an impact on the baby's psychology. They need to be given enough care and support to help them gradually adapt to the new visual state.
