Wuhan Myopic Ophthalmic Surgery Hospital: What new technologies are available?
Myopia is a common vision problem, which brings a lot of inconvenience to people's life and work. In order to solve this problem, several professional myopia ophthalmic surgery hospitals have emerged in Wuhan, and some new technologies have been used to treat myopia. This article will introduce the new technologies available in Wuhan Myopic Eye Surgery Hospital.
1. Laser refractive surgery
Laser refractive surgery is one of the most commonly used methods to treat myopia. It changes the curvature of the cornea through laser technology to improve vision. Wuhan Myopic Ophthalmic Surgery Hospital can provide different types of laser refractive surgery, including LASIK (wavefront LASIK and ultra-thin LASIK), PRK (surface optical corneal correction) and SMILE (minimally invasive small incision myopia correction).
LASIK is the most common kind of laser refractive surgery. It forms a flap layer by cutting the cornea, and then reshapes the front surface of the cornea with laser, and finally resets the flap layer. PRK is to scrape off the epithelium on the corneal surface, and then use laser shaping, without flap layer. SMILE is a kind of myopia correction surgery with less trauma, which only requires a 3mm small incision.
All of the above laser refractive surgery can be found in Wuhan Myopia Eye Surgery Hospital, and doctors will choose the most appropriate surgical method according to the patient's situation and needs.
2. ICL implantation
In addition to laser surgery, Wuhan Myopic Eye Surgery Hospital also provides ICL (intraocular lens implantation), a new technology. ICL is a kind of surgery to correct myopia by implanting intraocular lens. It is suitable for patients with ultra-high myopia, thin cornea, abnormal corneal morphology, etc. who are not suitable for laser surgery.
ICL surgery is to implant the intraocular lens into the eye and coordinate with the natural lens of the eye to change the ocular refraction. This kind of surgery has the advantages of stable correction effect, wide adaptation range, small surgical trauma, etc. It is an effective alternative to laser surgery.
3. Orthokeratology
Corneal plastic surgery is a non operative treatment for myopia, which is suitable for children and mild myopia patients. Wuhan Myopic Ophthalmic Surgery Hospital can provide a variety of corneal plastic surgery, such as comfort correction, corneal shaping glasses and night glasses.
Relaxation correction is a method to adjust the length of the eye axis for a long time by wearing a specific lens, which can effectively slow down the progress of myopia. Corneal shaping lens is to shape the corneal curvature during sleep by wearing specially designed corneal contact lens, so as to achieve the effect of correcting vision. Night glasses are special glasses that are worn during sleep. They can cure myopia by shaping corneal curvature.
4. Corneal ring implantation
Corneal ring implantation is a surgical method suitable for patients with thin cornea and high myopia. Wuhan Myopic Ophthalmic Surgery Hospital can provide corneal ring implantation. This operation is to implant a special shaped corneal ring into the edge of the cornea to change the curvature of the cornea, so as to correct myopia.
Compared with laser surgery and ICL surgery, corneal ring implantation has less trauma and shorter recovery period. This is a special treatment method, suitable for certain myopia patients.
To sum up, Wuhan Myopic Ophthalmic Surgery Hospital provides a variety of new technologies for the treatment of myopia, including laser refractive surgery, ICL implantation, corneal plastic surgery and corneal ring implantation. Patients can choose the most appropriate treatment according to their own conditions and doctors' suggestions to improve their vision and quality of life.
