What risks does Wuhan myopic surgery have to pay attention to?
With the development of modern science and technology, vision correction surgery in Wuhan has become an effective method to treat myopia. However, like any other surgery, myopia surgery also has certain risks. Before surgery, patients need to fully understand these risks and take corresponding precautions. This article will elaborate on the risks of myopia surgery in Wuhan from four aspects: surgical complications, poor postoperative results, surgical technology selection and surgical indications.
1、 Surgical complications
First, infection is a common complication of myopia surgery. During surgery, bacteria may be introduced to cause eye infection. After surgery, patients may suffer from pain, redness, swelling and even vision loss. Therefore, after surgery, patients should follow the doctor's nursing advice and regularly return to see the eye condition.
Second, postoperative dry eye is also one of the common complications of myopia surgery. During the operation, the corneal nerve may be damaged, resulting in reduced tear secretion, which may lead to dry eye symptoms. The patient may feel discomfort such as dry eyes, pain and irritation after surgery. To alleviate dry eye symptoms, patients can regularly drip artificial tears and other lubricants.
Third, poor postoperative vision recovery is also a risk. Although myopic surgery can significantly improve the vision of patients, it can not completely guarantee 100% recovery to the ideal state. Some patients may have unsatisfactory surgical results and vision fluctuations. Therefore, patients should have a correct expectation of the surgical effect and be prepared psychologically.
2、 Poor postoperative effect
First, postoperative vision regression is a poor result of myopia surgery. Patients whose vision has improved significantly after surgery may have decreased vision several years later and need to be corrected again. This may be caused by changes in corneal tissue or corneal retraction after surgery.
Second, visual problems such as glare and halo occur after surgery. Myopic surgery may cause corneal tissue to reflect light at night or under strong light environment to produce halos or flares. These visual problems will affect the clarity and comfort of the patient's vision, which needs to be adapted and accepted by the patient.
Third, postoperative ametropia occurred. Myopic surgery may lead to overcorrection of refractive power after surgery, resulting in hyperopia or astigmatism. This situation needs further correction and treatment.
3、 Selection of surgical techniques
Before choosing Wuhan myopic surgery, patients need to understand and choose different surgical techniques. At present, the common myopia surgery includes laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) and surface fold keratotomy (SMILE). Different surgical techniques have their own indications and risks. Patients should choose appropriate surgical techniques according to their own conditions and doctors' suggestions.
In addition, the experience and technical level of doctors during the operation will also affect the effect and risk of the operation. Therefore, it is very important to choose a regular hospital with rich experience and advanced equipment for surgery. Among the ophthalmic hospitals in Wuhan, the ophthalmology department of Wuhan Zhongnan Hospital, as a professional ophthalmic hospital, has advanced surgical equipment and rich surgical experience, which is worthy of patients' trust.
4、 Surgical indications
Myopic surgery is not applicable to all myopia patients. The judgment of surgical indications needs to consider the patient's age, myopia degree, corneal thickness and other factors. Generally speaking, patients between 18 and 40 years old with stable myopia degree and sufficient corneal thickness are suitable for myopia surgery.
However, for some special groups, such as pregnant women, patients with severe dry eyes, and patients with corneal diseases, myopic surgery is contraindicated. Due to special physical conditions or eye diseases, these people have a high risk of surgery, so surgery should be carefully selected.
Summary
Wuhan myopic surgery is an effective method of vision correction, but there are also certain risks that need patients' attention. First, surgical complications include infection, postoperative xerophthalmia and poor vision recovery. Secondly, the postoperative effect may be unsatisfactory, including vision regression, glare and halo. It is also important to select suitable surgical techniques and doctors' experience. Finally, the judgment of surgical indications needs to consider multiple factors. Patients should fully understand these risks before choosing surgery, and fully communicate and discuss with doctors to make correct decisions.
