How does Wuhan Myopia Hospital judge whether a patient is suitable for surgery?

Myopia is a common vision problem, and surgery is a way to solve it. However, not all myopic patients are suitable for surgery. So, how does Wuhan's myopic hospital judge whether a patient is suitable for surgery? Next, this article will elaborate from different aspects.

1. Patient's age and health

Age is an important factor in judging whether a patient is suitable for surgery. Generally speaking, surgery is not recommended for patients under 18 years of age due to immature eye development and high risk of surgery. Older patients may have other eye diseases or health problems, so a comprehensive physical health assessment is required to ensure the safety of the operation.

In addition, whether the patient has other serious health problems should also be considered. For example, whether the patient has diabetes, heart disease, etc. These diseases may increase the risk of surgery. Therefore, when judging whether the patient is suitable for surgery, the myopia hospital will fully consider the patient's age and health status.

2. Patient's diopter and corneal thickness

Diopter is an index to measure the refractive index of the eye. Before surgery, the doctor will measure and evaluate the patient's diopter in detail. Generally speaking, patients with diopter within a certain range are suitable for surgery, and too high or too low diopter may lead to poor surgical results.

In addition, corneal thickness is also one of the important parameters to determine whether the patient is suitable for surgery. During surgery, doctors need to change the shape of the cornea through laser technology to achieve the purpose of correcting vision. Therefore, the patient's corneal thickness must be able to meet the requirements of surgery, otherwise, postoperative complications may occur.

3. Patient's eye condition and medical history

Eye condition and medical history are also important for judging whether the patient is suitable for surgery. First, the doctor will check the patient's eye health and whether there are other eye diseases, such as glaucoma, cataract, etc. These diseases may affect the operation effect or the safety of the operation.

Secondly, the doctor will also know the patient's medical history, including whether he has ever undergone eye surgery, whether there is eye trauma, etc. This information can help doctors judge the complexity of patients and decide whether they are suitable for surgery.

4. Patients' expectations and risk acceptance

Finally, doctors will fully communicate with patients to understand their expectations and risk acceptance of surgery. Surgery is not a one-time solution. Patients need long-term eye care after surgery, and may also need to wear glasses or contact lenses. Therefore, patients' expectations and risk acceptance of surgery are also important factors to determine whether it is suitable for surgery.

Summary

When judging whether a patient is suitable for surgery, Wuhan myopic hospital will consider the patient's age and health status, diopter and corneal thickness, eye condition and medical history, as well as the patient's expectations and risk acceptance. Only after a comprehensive evaluation can the doctor decide whether to operate on the patient. This rigorous judgment process can ensure the safety and effectiveness of the operation, so that patients can regain good vision.
