What problems should Wuhan myopic surgery pay attention to?
With the development of modern science and technology, myopia surgery has become a common method to correct myopia. For myopic patients in Wuhan, it is very important to choose a suitable surgical method and pay attention to some problems. This article will elaborate on the selection of surgical methods, preoperative preparation, postoperative nursing and surgical risks.
1. Selection of surgical method
In Wuhan, myopia surgery mainly includes laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) and surface ignition (EPILASIK). Many factors need to be considered when selecting an appropriate surgical method, such as myopia degree, corneal thickness, corneal curvature and personal needs.
First of all, laser in situ keratomileusis is a commonly used surgical method at present. This method uses laser to grind and inlay the cornea and change the shape of the cornea to correct myopia. This method has the advantages of small incision, fast recovery and light pain, and is suitable for patients with high myopia.
Secondly, surface ignition is a relatively new surgical method. Compared with LASIK, this method preserves the epithelial layer on the corneal surface, and the surgical incision is smaller. Surface ignition is applicable to patients with low myopia and thin corneal thickness, who may feel a little pain during recovery.
To sum up, the selection of appropriate surgical methods requires comprehensive consideration according to personal conditions and doctors' suggestions.
2. Preoperative preparation
Before surgery for myopia, patients need to make a series of preoperative preparations. First of all, patients need to go to a regular hospital for visual examination and eye examination to ensure the safety and feasibility of the operation. At the same time, patients need to inform doctors of their medical history, allergy history, drug use and other relevant information.
Secondly, patients need to stop using contact lenses for a period of time before surgery to ensure the stability of the cornea. Generally speaking, hard contact lenses need to be stopped for at least two weeks, and soft contact lenses need to be stopped for at least one week.
In addition, patients need to clean their eyes before surgery to keep their eyes clean and avoid the risk of eye infection.
3. Postoperative care
Postoperative nursing is the key to ensure the surgical effect and recovery. First, patients need to use eye drops according to the doctor's instructions to keep their eyes moist. At the same time, avoid rubbing the eyes to avoid external irritation.
Secondly, patients need to follow the doctor's medication and return visit requirements, and review in a timely manner. During recovery, patients should avoid strenuous exercise, heavy lifting and overuse of eyes to avoid affecting the stability of the cornea.
In addition, paying attention to good diet and living habits is also an important post operation care. Keep enough rest time to avoid staying up late and fatigue. On diet, pay attention to supplement foods rich in vitamins and antioxidants to promote the recovery of the cornea.
4. Operation risk
Although myopic surgery is very mature in Wuhan hospitals, there are still some surgical risks that need patients' attention. First, infection, congestion, keratitis and other complications may occur during the operation. Secondly, dry eye, light sensitivity, night vision decline and other uncomfortable symptoms may occur after surgery.
In order to reduce the risk of surgery, patients should choose experienced and qualified institutions when selecting surgeons and hospitals. In addition, the patient should actively cooperate with the nursing and reexamination before and after the operation, report to the doctor in time and deal with any abnormal symptoms.
Summary
When choosing Wuhan myopic surgery, patients need to pay attention to the selection of surgical methods, preoperative preparation, postoperative nursing and surgical risks. Reasonable selection of surgical methods, adequate preoperative preparation, good postoperative care and attention to surgical risks can improve the success rate of surgery and the stability of postoperative vision, so that patients can bid farewell to myopia as soon as possible.
