Wuhan myopic laser hospital: risks and precautions of myopic surgery
With the development of science and technology, laser surgery has become a common correction method for myopia. Wuhan has many professional laser hospitals for myopia, providing high-quality treatment for patients. However, myopia surgery is not without risks. Before considering surgery, patients need to understand these risks and follow some necessary precautions. This article will elaborate on the operation risk, precautions, operation selection and postoperative nursing.
1、 Surgical risk
1. Complications: One of the main risks of myopia surgery is the possible complications after surgery, including postoperative inflammation, dry eye, blurred vision, light interference, etc. The incidence of these complications is generally low, but patients still need attention.
2. Vision change: the patient's vision may change within a period of time after surgery, including temporary blurred vision, night vision problems, etc. Most of these problems will gradually improve in a few weeks to several months, but some patients have long-term vision changes.
3. Recurrence: Some patients may have myopia degree gradually rising after surgery, that is, myopia recurrence. This usually occurs in patients with high degree of surgery, which needs to be reviewed regularly and adjusted according to the doctor's recommendations.
2、 Precautions
1. Preoperative examination: Before deciding to accept myopic surgery, patients should have a comprehensive preoperative examination, including fundus examination, corneal topography, wavefront examination, etc. These examinations can help doctors assess the patient's eye health and determine whether it is suitable for surgery.
2. Operation selection: according to the patient's myopia degree, corneal topography, eye condition and other factors, the doctor will select the appropriate operation method for the patient according to different surgical techniques. Common surgical methods include laser keratomileusis (LASIK), surface photorefractive keratomileusis (PRK), etc.
3. Attention after operation: After operation, patients need to follow the doctor's advice, wash their hands frequently, avoid rubbing their eyes, avoid strenuous exercise, and prohibit smoking and drinking. These precautions are helpful to postoperative recovery and reduce complications.
3、 Surgical selection
1. LASIK surgery: This is one of the most common myopic surgery methods at present, and is suitable for patients with mild to moderate myopia. During the operation, a corneal flap will be made in the eye, then the cornea will be reshaped by laser, and finally the corneal flap will be reset.
2. PRK surgery: For some patients with thin cornea or high corneal curvature, PRK surgery may be more suitable. PRK surgery is to correct vision by laser ablation of cells on the corneal surface to change the shape of the cornea.
3. Circumcision: For some patients with high myopia, doctors may choose circumcision to correct myopia. Circumcision is to make circumcision at the edge of the cornea to increase the radian of the central cornea and reduce myopia.
4、 Postoperative care
1. Avoid eye irritation: patients should try to avoid eye irritation after surgery, such as avoiding watching TV, using computers for a long time, environmental dust, etc. These irritants may cause dry eyes and blurred vision.
2. Eye drops: The doctor will prescribe some antibiotic eye drops and artificial tears for patients to use to prevent infection and alleviate postoperative dry eyes. Patients should use these drugs correctly according to the doctor's instructions.
3. Regular reexamination: patients need to go to the hospital for reexamination regularly according to the doctor's arrangement after surgery. The doctor will evaluate the patient's postoperative vision recovery and adjust the vision correction as needed.
To sum up, Wuhan Myopia Laser Hospital provides advanced treatment methods for patients who need to correct myopia. However, when considering surgery, patients must understand the risks of surgery, follow the doctor's recommendations, and follow postoperative precautions and care to ensure the safety and efficacy of surgery.
