What problems should myopia surgery pay attention to?
Nowadays, myopia has become a common vision problem. More and more people begin to choose laser surgery to correct myopia. As a big city, Wuhan has many laser hospitals for myopia, providing convenient services for patients. However, before choosing myopic surgery, there are some problems that need special attention. This article will elaborate on the problems that should be paid attention to in myopia surgery from four aspects: surgery selection, postoperative care, surgery costs, and surgery risks.
Surgical selection
There are many ways to choose for myopia surgery, and each way has its applicable population and restrictions. Therefore, when choosing surgery, patients need to consider their own conditions and doctors' suggestions. First of all, the age of the patient needs to meet the requirements of surgery. Generally, laser surgery is suitable for patients over 18 years old. Secondly, the degree of myopia of the patient is also an important factor in determining the method of surgery. Different degrees correspond to different surgical methods. Finally, patients need to consider the effects and risks of surgery. After understanding various surgical methods, it is crucial to choose a suitable method for themselves.
Following the doctor's advice and choosing the appropriate operation method can improve the success rate of the operation and reduce the risk of the operation.
Postoperative care
Postoperative nursing is an important part of myopia surgery, and its impact on the results of surgery cannot be underestimated. First, patients need to rest their eyes for a period of time after surgery to avoid fatigue and high intraocular pressure. Secondly, patients need to use and clean eyedrops according to the doctor's recommendations. In addition, patients also need to ensure a reasonable diet, pay attention to supplement nutrients, and promote eye recovery. Finally, sunscreen is also an important part of post operation care. Patients need to avoid direct sunlight, especially within a few months after the operation, to avoid eye damage.
Postoperative nursing measures are of great significance for the consolidation of the surgical effect and the comfort of patients. Patients need to be nursed in strict accordance with the guidance of doctors.
Operation expenses
The cost of myopia surgery varies with hospitals and surgical methods. Generally speaking, the cost of laser surgery is relatively high, including surgery costs, drug costs, examination costs, etc. Therefore, when choosing a surgery hospital, patients need to consider whether the surgery costs are within their own range, and calculate the costs in detail with the hospital to avoid additional costs. At the same time, patients can also consult the hospital whether to accept medical insurance and installment payment to reduce the economic burden.
Surgical risk
Although laser surgery is widely considered as a relatively safe way to correct myopia, it also has certain risks. First, vision fluctuation may occur after surgery, including dry eyes, light sensitivity, night vision decline, etc. Secondly, there are certain risks during the operation, such as eye infection, keratitis, etc. Finally, reexamination and further treatment may be required after the operation, and patients need to understand and accept these possible discomfort and costs in advance.
When choosing myopia surgery, patients should fully understand the risks of surgery, communicate with doctors in detail, and be prepared psychologically.
Summary
Myopic surgery is an effective method to correct myopia, but many factors need to be considered before choosing surgery. Under the guidance of the doctor, the patient should choose the appropriate surgical method according to their own conditions and follow the postoperative nursing measures. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to the cost of surgery to avoid excessive economic burden. Most importantly, patients need to understand the risks of surgery and be prepared. Through scientific selection and correct nursing, patients can obtain satisfactory surgical results and vision improvement.
