Brief Introduction of Laser Treatment for Myopia

Myopia is a common ophthalmic disease, and patients' far vision will be affected. In recent years, laser treatment of myopia, as a commonly used method to correct myopia, has gradually been recognized and used by the majority of patients. As a professional ophthalmic medical institution in Wuhan, Guangming Eye Hospital provides patients with advanced laser myopia treatment technology. The following will introduce the technology in detail from the aspects of effect, indication, preoperative and postoperative precautions and risks.

The effect of laser therapy on myopia

The excimer laser is used to treat myopia. By changing the curvature of the cornea, the refractive state of the eye can be improved to correct myopia. After clinical verification, laser treatment of myopia can improve the vision of patients to a certain extent and keep them away from the shackles of glasses and contact lenses.

However, the effect of laser treatment of myopia is related to the specific situation of the patient, and the postoperative effect will be different for different people. Some patients may completely get rid of myopia after surgery, while some patients may still need to wear glasses of lower degree. Therefore, when choosing laser therapy for myopia, patients should fully understand their personal conditions and the possible effects after surgery.

Indications for laser treatment of myopia

Although laser treatment of myopia has a certain effect, it is not applicable to all myopia patients. Generally, laser treatment for myopia is applicable to the following situations:

First, the degree of myopia is stable, that is, there is no obvious change in the degree of myopia within a certain period of time.

Second, between 18 and 45 years old.

Third, the thickness and curvature of the eyeball are suitable for laser surgery.

For those patients with high myopia or whose eyeball is not suitable for laser treatment in other circumstances, doctors will recommend other appropriate treatment methods.

Precautions and risks in laser treatment of myopia

Before receiving laser treatment for myopia, patients need to do some necessary examinations to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the operation. Preoperative examination included corneal topography, diopter measurement and intraocular pressure examination. If the patient has other eye diseases, such as glaucoma or eye infection, it may be necessary to delay surgery or choose other treatment options.

Although laser therapy for myopia is widely used, there are still some risks. Common postoperative complications include dry eye, infection, corneal edema, etc. In addition, postoperative vision decline, night light curtain feeling and dazzle may also occur after surgery. Therefore, before the operation, the doctor will conduct a detailed preoperative assessment and inform the patient, so that the patient can understand the risks and possible complications of the operation.

summary

Laser treatment of myopia, as a common treatment method, has certain effects and indications, but also has certain risks. When choosing laser therapy for myopia, patients should weigh the advantages and disadvantages and make decisions according to their own conditions and doctors' suggestions. Professional eye hospitals, such as Wuhan Guangming Eye Hospital, must be selected to ensure the safety of the operation and the postoperative effect.
