Who is suitable for femtosecond ophthalmic surgery in Wuhan Army General Hospital?
With the progress of science and technology, ophthalmic surgery technology is also constantly innovating and developing. In the ophthalmology department of Wuhan Army General Hospital, femtosecond laser surgery has become a widely used method to treat myopia. So, who is suitable for this operation? Next, we will elaborate on this issue from different aspects.
Operation principle and effect
Femtosecond surgery is a method of corneal tissue cutting by laser, which can eliminate vision problems such as myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. Compared with traditional surgical methods, femtosecond surgery has the following advantages:
First, the operation process is more accurate and safe. When femtosecond laser is used to cut corneal tissue, it can be adjusted according to the characteristics of individual eyeballs, avoiding the over cutting and insufficient cutting that may occur in traditional surgery.
Secondly, the operation recovers quickly. Traditional surgery requires the patient to remove the wound scab on the cornea, while femtosecond surgery only has a small wound, and the postoperative recovery is faster. Many patients can basically resume normal activities 1-2 days after surgery.
Finally, the surgical effect is stable. Femtosecond laser surgery can accurately depict different levels of corneal tissue, providing a more stable and lasting correction effect.
Conditions suitable for femtosecond surgery
Although femtosecond surgery has many advantages, not all patients are suitable for this surgery. The following conditions play an important role in whether patients are suitable for femtosecond surgery:
First, the patient's cornea should be thick enough. Since femtosecond surgery requires cutting on the cornea, the thickness of the cornea must reach a certain standard to ensure the safety and success rate of the surgery.
Secondly, the patient's eye health should be good. Some eye diseases, such as dry eye and keratitis, will affect the effect of surgery and the recovery process, so a detailed eye examination is required before surgery.
Finally, the age of the patient should be within a certain range. Generally speaking, only patients over 18 years old with stable eyeball development are suitable for femtosecond surgery.
Operation risks and precautions
Any operation has certain risks, and femtosecond operation is no exception. Although the risk of this operation is low, the following preparations and understanding are required before the operation:
First, the patient needs to know the purpose and expectation of the operation. The operation can not completely eliminate myopia, hyperopia and other problems, and can only be corrected to a certain extent. Therefore, patients should treat surgery rationally and understand the limitations and risks of surgery.
Secondly, patients need to have a comprehensive eye examination before surgery to exclude the possibility of suffering from other eye diseases and assess the risk of surgery.
Finally, patients need to be restored and maintained in strict accordance with the doctor's postoperative nursing guidance. Avoid strenuous exercise, eye rubbing and other behaviors, so as not to affect the surgical effect and recovery process.
summary
Femtosecond surgery is a safe and effective treatment for myopia in the ophthalmology department of Wuhan Army General Hospital. But not all patients are suitable for this operation. Only qualified patients can make wise decisions after understanding the operation principle, risks and precautions. If you have vision problems such as myopia, it is recommended to consult a professional ophthalmologist to determine whether you are suitable for femtosecond surgery.
