Wuhan Nanchang Eye Hospital: What kind of people are suitable for myopia surgery?

As a professional eye hospital, Wuhan Nanchang Eye Hospital is committed to providing patients with safe and effective surgical treatment for myopia. However, not all patients are suitable for myopia surgery. This article will elaborate on the suitable people for myopia surgery from four aspects: angle, age, health status and degree stability.

Suitable crowd - angle

First of all, people undergoing myopia surgery should have a certain degree of corneal curvature. Corneal curvature refers to the curvature of the anterior surface of the cornea, which directly affects the refractive power of the eyeball. Generally speaking, people with normal corneal curvature are more suitable for myopia surgery. If the corneal curvature is too large or too small, the effect of surgery may not be as expected.

In addition, whether you have strabismus, amblyopia and other eye diseases is also one of the factors to consider accepting myopia surgery. Because these diseases may affect the effect after surgery, if patients have these complications, they need to be comprehensively evaluated under the guidance of doctors.

Suitable people - age

Age is also an important factor in deciding whether it is suitable for myopia surgery. Generally speaking, adult corneal development is basically stable, and the effect of surgery is more reliable. Therefore, adults aged 18 and above are suitable for myopia surgery.

However, for adolescents under 18 years of age, their growth and development characteristics and changes in myopia should be taken into account. Some studies have shown that the degree of myopia tends to stabilize around the age of 18. Therefore, if the degree of teenagers has been growing, they may need to wait for surgery.

Suitable people - health status

Before the operation, the patient's health must be comprehensively evaluated to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the operation. Generally, patients with serious eye diseases (such as glaucoma), serious systemic diseases (such as diabetes) or undergoing other treatments are not suitable for myopia surgery.

In addition, myopic surgery is not recommended for pregnant women because it may have a potential impact on the fetus. Therefore, if you are a pregnant woman or a woman in a pregnancy plan, you can wait for the post natal period before considering surgery.

Suitable crowd - degree stability

Finally, degree stability is an important indicator to judge whether the patient is suitable for myopia surgery. If the degree of the patient has been growing, it may be deepened again after the operation, resulting in poor surgical results. Therefore, it is recommended that the patient's degree should remain stable for more than one year before surgery.

In short, people suitable for myopia surgery should have a certain degree of angular curvature, be suitable for people over 18 years of age, be in good health, and have a stable degree. However, the final suitability for surgery still needs comprehensive evaluation and decision-making under the guidance of professional doctors.
