Can myopia be corrected surgically?
Myopia is one of the common eye diseases in modern society, which brings great inconvenience to people's life and work. As a professional eye hospital, Wuhan Hewlett Packard Eye Hospital, after years of clinical practice and research, has provided a variety of eye surgery services for more patients who need eye correction, including whether myopia can be corrected surgically.
keratorefractive surgery
Corneal refractive surgery is a common correction method for myopia. It can improve the vision of myopia by changing the shape of the cornea. Among them, laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) is one of the most common corneal refractive surgery. During surgery, doctors use lasers to cut and change the shape of the cornea, and then cover a transparent corneal flap so that the light can be correctly refracted to the retina. HP Eye Hospital is equipped with advanced laser equipment and an experienced team of doctors, which can provide safe and efficient LASIK surgery for myopia patients.
Corneal refractive surgery is not applicable to all myopic patients. The doctor will determine whether it is suitable for surgery according to the patient's age, eye condition and degree. In addition, the doctor will carry out a detailed eye examination before the operation to ensure the feasibility and safety of the operation.
Intraocular lens implantation
In addition to corneal refractive surgery, intraocular lens implantation is also a common surgical correction method for myopia. The patient implanted intraocular lens into the eye through surgery to change the refraction of the eye, thus correcting myopia. This kind of surgery is generally applicable to patients with high myopia or insufficient corneal thickness who cannot accept corneal refractive surgery.
IOL implantation requires professional doctors and fine surgical techniques. HP Eye Hospital has world-class equipment and professional medical team, which can provide high-quality IOL implantation services for patients. The doctor will carefully evaluate the patient's eye condition before surgery, and select the appropriate intraocular lens for implantation according to the patient's specific condition.
Operation risks and precautions
Although corneal refractive surgery and intraocular lens implantation are effective methods for myopia correction, surgery is not without risks. Before surgery, patients should fully communicate with doctors to understand the risks and precautions of surgery.
The operation risks include operation failure, infection, dry eye, etc. Therefore, after surgery, patients need to follow the doctor's instructions, pay attention to eye hygiene, avoid rubbing eyes with hands, and avoid looking at the electronic screen for too long in the dark environment. In addition, regular reexamination is required after the operation to ensure the effect of the operation and deal with possible problems after the operation in a timely manner.
summary
In a word, myopia can be corrected by surgery, including corneal refractive surgery and intraocular lens implantation. These operations need to be carried out under the guidance and precise detection of doctors, and they have certain risks and precautions. As a professional eye hospital, Wuhan Hewlett Packard Eye Hospital has world-class equipment and professional medical team, which can provide safe and efficient surgical correction services for myopia patients.
