1. Basic principle of laser myopia surgery
Laser myopia surgery is a kind of surgery to correct myopia by cutting the cornea with laser to change its curvature. This operation mainly uses laser beam to evaporate and thin the cornea to change the refraction of light, so as to achieve the effect of correcting myopia. The main goal of laser myopia surgery is to flatten the curvature of the cornea, so that the light entering the eye can be correctly focused on the retina.
During the operation, the doctor will use anesthetic eyedrops to anesthetize the eyes to reduce pain. Then, the doctor will use the laser to cut the cornea. During the cutting process, the patient may feel some discomfort, but usually there is no obvious pain.
The whole process of laser myopia surgery usually takes only a few minutes. After the surgery, patients may feel dry and painful eyes, and doctors will issue relevant eyedrops and drugs to alleviate discomfort. Patients need to avoid strenuous exercise and eye friction within a few days after surgery to avoid infection and complications.
2. Which hospital in Wuhan can do laser myopia surgery?
As a big city, Wuhan has many hospitals that provide laser myopia surgery. Among them, Wuhan Tongji Eye Hospital, Zhongshan Eye Center and Wuhan People's Hospital have rich experience in surgery and advanced equipment. These hospitals have a team of professional ophthalmologists who can provide high-quality surgical services for patients.
When choosing a hospital, patients can consider the following factors: the qualification and reputation of the hospital, the experience and professional ability of doctors, the advanced level of surgical equipment, and the cost of surgery. You can choose a suitable hospital by consulting the doctor, reading the relevant evaluation and consulting the operation cost.
3. Risk and complications of laser myopia surgery
Although laser myopia surgery is a safe and effective method to correct myopia, there are still some risks and complications.
Common risks and complications include dry eyes, fluctuating vision, photosensitivity, keratitis, infection, etc. These complications are often temporary and can be effectively alleviated through the treatment and care of doctors. However, in very few cases, serious complications may occur, such as decreased vision, visual abnormalities, etc.
Before the operation, the doctor will conduct a comprehensive eye examination and evaluation to determine whether the patient is suitable for laser myopia surgery. Patients should also fully understand the risks and complications of surgery, and fully communicate with doctors.
4. Effect and precautions of laser myopia surgery
The effect of laser myopia surgery is often significant, and most patients can significantly improve their vision after surgery, and no longer rely on glasses or contact lenses. The corrective effect of surgery usually stabilizes within days to weeks after surgery.
After surgery, patients need to avoid strenuous exercise and eye friction to avoid infection and complications. Patients also need to use eye drops according to the doctor's recommendations, and regularly return for eye examination.
In general, laser myopia surgery is a safe and effective method to correct myopia, but patients should fully understand the principles, risks and precautions of surgery before choosing hospitals and deciding on surgery. At the same time, patients should also choose their own surgical methods according to their actual conditions and the doctor's suggestions.
