Types of ophthalmic surgery in Wuhan Aier Eye Hospital
Wuhan Aier Eye Hospital is a hospital specializing in ophthalmic medical services, with advanced equipment and an experienced medical team. The following will introduce the main types of ophthalmic surgery carried out by the hospital.
1. Cataract surgery
Cataract is a common eye disease, which can lead to blurred vision and even blindness. Wuhan Aier Eye Hospital has carried out various types of cataract surgery, including traditional cataract extraction, phacoemulsification and laser cataract surgery. These operations can clear the turbid lens in patients' eyes and restore their vision through safe and accurate operation.
Cataract surgery is usually performed under a microscope. The doctor will cut a small hole in the patient's eye, and then put the phacoemulsifier into the eye, and use ultrasonic energy to decompose and suck out the turbid lens. After the operation, the doctor will implant an intraocular lens to replace the removed lens and restore the patient's normal vision.
2. Refractive surgery
Refractive surgery is a kind of surgery to correct myopia, hyperopia or astigmatism by changing the refractive state of the eye. Wuhan Aier Eye Hospital has carried out a variety of refractive surgery, including LASIK, ICL and PRK. These operations change the curvature of the cornea through laser or surgical operation, so as to achieve the purpose of vision correction.
LASIK is a widely accepted refractive surgery method, which uses laser technology to cut cornea and change its shape. ICL is an implantable refractive surgery that changes the refractive state of the eye by implanting an adjustable transparent lens between the cornea and the iris. PRK is a kind of surface ablation surgery, which is suitable for patients with thin cornea or other reasons that are not suitable for LASIK.
3. Operation for ocular surface diseases
Wuhan Aier Eye Hospital has also carried out a series of operations for ocular surface diseases to treat conjunctivitis, keratitis and other ocular surface diseases. These operations include conjunctivectomy, corneal transplantation and mucosal transplantation. These operations are dedicated to clearing the diseased tissue, repairing the ocular surface structure, and restoring vision and comfort.
Conjunctival resection is usually used to treat severe conjunctivitis. Doctors will remove part or all of the infected conjunctival tissue. Corneal transplantation is to replace damaged corneal tissue with healthy donor cornea to repair vision and restore normal corneal morphology. Mucosa transplantation is to improve the smoothness and wetness of the corneal surface by implanting mucosal tissue.
4. Eye plastic surgery
In addition to common eye surgery, Wuhan Aier Eye Hospital also carries out eye plastic surgery. These operations are intended to change the appearance of the eyes, including double eyelid surgery, pouch surgery and eyelid ptosis correction.
Binocular eyelid surgery is one of the most common eye plastic surgery. By cutting and sewing tissue at the upper eyelid, the eyelid presents double folds. The pouch surgery is to reduce or eliminate the pouch by cutting fat tissue, tightening skin and sewing. The correction of ptosis is to lift the drooping eyelid by cutting the excess tissue and tightening the skin.
To sum up, Wuhan Aier Eye Hospital has carried out a variety of eye operations, including cataract, refraction, ocular surface diseases and eye plastic surgery. These operations are all operated through advanced technology and experienced medical teams to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the operation and provide high-quality ophthalmic medical services for patients.
