The technique of myopia surgery in Wuhan Aier Hospital
Myopia is a common eye health problem, which seriously affects the quality of life of patients. As a medical institution focusing on ophthalmology, Wuhan Aier Hospital has adopted a variety of technologies to help patients improve myopia. The following will elaborate the techniques of myopia surgery in Wuhan Aier Hospital from four aspects: corneal refractive surgery, lens implantation, keratoplasty and vision correction surgery.
keratorefractive surgery
Corneal refractive surgery is a surgical method to correct myopia by changing corneal morphology. The main corneal refractive surgery techniques adopted by Wuhan Aier Hospital include LASIK, PRK and LASEK.
LASIK is the most common corneal refractive surgery. It uses a laser to create a foldable flap on the cornea, and then the laser reshapes the cornea through this flap to correct myopia.
PRK is a non cutting corneal refractive surgery, which changes the corneal morphology by directly removing cells from the corneal surface. Compared with LASIK, PRK has lower requirements for corneal thickness and morphology, and is suitable for patients with thin corneas.
LASEK is a corneal refractive surgery for corneal epithelium. It creates an upper skin flap on the cornea, reshapes the cornea with laser, and then places the upper skin flap back.
Lens implantation
Lens implantation is a surgical method to correct myopia by replacing the natural lens. The lens implantation used by Wuhan Aier Hospital mainly includes intraocular lens implantation and adjustable lens implantation.
Intraocular lens implantation is to remove the natural lens and implant an intraocular lens to correct myopia. By choosing different degrees of intraocular lens, patients can get rid of myopia.
Adjustable lens implantation is a method to change the focal length of the eyeball by implanting adjustable crystals, so as to achieve the effect of correcting myopia. This operation can be adjusted according to the needs of patients, allowing patients to adjust their vision after the operation.
Keratoplasty
Keratoplasty is a non operative method to correct myopia. It shapes the cornea by wearing a special corneal shaping lens in sleep, thus changing the shape of the cornea. Corneal plastic surgery in Wuhan Aier Hospital mainly includes Ortho-K and CRT plastic surgery.
Ortho-K is a method of shaping the cornea in sleep by wearing special corneal shaping lenses. Patients wear lenses when they sleep, and can have clear vision in the next day after taking them off in the morning.
CRT plastic surgery is similar to Ortho-K, which also changes the shape of the cornea by wearing plastic lenses during sleep. The difference is that the lens shape used in CRT plastic surgery is closer to the central area of the cornea, which is suitable for patients who are not suitable for Ortho-K.
Vision correction surgery
In addition to the above surgical methods, Wuhan Aier Hospital has other methods for correcting vision. For example, laser keratoplasty (LASIK or PRK) can be used to correct hyperopia or astigmatism; Ring keratotomy can be used to treat corneal collapse; Corneal transplantation can be used to treat serious corneal diseases and so on.
In a word, Wuhan Aier Hospital provides a variety of technologies to solve the problem of myopia. Whether it is corneal refractive surgery, lens implantation, corneal plastic surgery or vision correction surgery, patients can choose appropriate surgical methods to improve their vision according to their specific conditions.
Summary
The myopic surgery of Wuhan Aier Hospital used a variety of technologies to correct myopia. It mainly includes corneal refractive surgery (LASIK, PRK and LASEK), lens implantation (intraocular lens implantation and adjustable lens implantation), corneal plastic surgery (Ortho-K and CRT plastic surgery) and other visual acuity correction surgery methods. Each technique has its own characteristics and indications, and patients can choose appropriate surgical methods according to their own needs and doctors' suggestions. Through these surgical techniques, patients can improve myopia and quality of life.
