Wuhan Myopic Ophthalmic Surgery Hospital: Is the surgery suitable for children with myopia
Children's myopia is a common health problem in modern society, which brings a series of problems to children's growth and learning. As a professional eye hospital, Wuhan Myopic Eye Surgery Hospital provides surgical treatment options for children's myopia. However, whether the surgery is suitable for children with myopia is still a matter of concern. This article will elaborate on the effect, safety, applicable conditions and postoperative care of the operation to help parents make wise decisions.
Surgical effect
Ophthalmic surgery is a common method to treat myopia. For adults, the surgical effect is very significant. However, it is worth exploring whether the same effect can be achieved by surgery in children with myopia. According to recent research data, the effect of myopia surgery in children is not as obvious as that in adults. After surgery, although the degree of myopia in children will decrease, the development speed is still fast, and the therapeutic effect of surgery may not be maintained for a long time. Therefore, surgical treatment for children with myopia cannot completely rely on surgery to solve the problem.
In addition, children's eyeballs are still changing in the process of growth and development, which may lead to uneven eyeball development after surgery, thus causing vision problems. Therefore, as far as the effect of surgery is concerned, surgery for myopia in children is not a panacea. Parents and doctors should carefully weigh the advantages and disadvantages and consider other non operative methods.
Operation safety
The safety of surgery is one of the most concerned issues for patients and parents. In terms of myopia surgery for children, Wuhan Myopic Eye Surgery Hospital has an experienced medical team, which uses advanced surgical equipment and technology to treat myopia, greatly reducing the risk of surgery. However, it is undeniable that the risk of children's surgery is relatively high.
The eyeball structure of children is not fully mature, and some unexpected problems may be encountered during the operation. The operation will cause corneal weakness, dry eyes and other complications, and even a slight carelessness may lead to permanent vision damage. Therefore, when considering the safety of surgery, parents should consult with doctors to fully understand the risks of surgery and make wise decisions.
Applicable conditions for operation
Not every child with myopia is suitable for surgical treatment. The applicable conditions of surgical treatment include but are not limited to the following points: stable degree, over 6 years of age, conforming to the morphological characteristics of the eyeball of surgery, and parents can actively cooperate with postoperative nursing. In addition, children with other eye diseases or poor health should not undergo surgery. Therefore, when considering the applicable conditions of surgery, parents should take their children to a professional eye hospital for comprehensive examination and listen to the doctor's opinions to determine whether the surgery is suitable.
Postoperative care
Surgical treatment is not the last step for children with myopia. Postoperative nursing is particularly important, which is related to the long-term maintenance of the effect. After surgery, parents should follow the doctor's guidance, give the child correct guidance on eye habits, avoid excessive eye use, pay attention to eye hygiene, etc., to protect the child's vision health.
summary
Surgical treatment is not the first choice for children with myopia. The treatment effect is relatively low and the risk is high. The operation is applicable to eligible children and requires active postoperative care. Therefore, when deciding whether to carry out surgical treatment, parents should carefully weigh the advantages and disadvantages, listen to the suggestions of professional doctors, and consider other non surgical methods to make the most appropriate decision.
