Contraindications of OK mirror surgery in Wuhan Purui Eye Hospital

OK mirror surgery is a common myopia correction surgery, which is suitable for myopia patients within a certain range. However, not everyone is suitable for this operation. Wuhan Purui Eye Hospital, as a professional eye hospital, will strictly evaluate patients when performing OK mirror surgery to ensure the safety and effect of the operation. The following are some contraindications of OK mirror surgery:

1. Serious ocular surface disease

If the patient has serious ocular surface diseases, such as severe dry eye, blepharitis, conjunctivitis, etc., it is not suitable for OK mirror surgery. Because these ocular surface diseases will affect the recovery after surgery, which may lead to poor surgical results or increase the risk of infection. Before the operation, the doctor will conduct a comprehensive assessment of the patient's eye health to ensure the smooth operation.

In addition, if the patient has had eye surgery or injury recently, it will also be considered as a contraindication, and the surgery can only be performed after the wound has completely healed.

2. Abnormal corneal morphology

OK lens surgery requires special corneal lenses placed on the cornea for correction, so the patient's corneal morphology plays an important role in the adaptability of surgery. If the patient has corneal diseases, such as corneal deformation, corneal ametropia, etc., it is not suitable for OK lens surgery. Because these abnormal corneal morphology may lead to poor surgical results and increase the risk of surgery.

Before the operation, the doctor will fully understand the patient's cornea condition through fundus examination, corneal topography and other inspection means to ensure the safety and feasibility of the operation.

3. Patients under the age of 18

OK mirror surgery is usually applicable to adults aged 18 years and above, because adolescents before the age of 18 are at the stage of visual development and their vision changes rapidly, so it is not suitable for ophthalmic surgery. In addition, because of the risk of surgery, hospitals usually recommend patients to postpone surgery until the eyeball is stable.

If young patients have an urgent need for myopia correction, they can choose other corrective surgery suitable for teenagers or rely on the correction method with lenses, and wait until the age suitable for OK mirror surgery.

4. Pregnant or lactating women

Pregnant and lactating women are in a special physiological state. Hormone levels and internal metabolism have changed, which will affect the safety and effect of surgery. Therefore, Wuhan Purui Eye Hospital does not recommend that pregnant or lactating women receive OK mirror surgery.

Before the operation, the doctor will ask female patients whether they are pregnant or breast-feeding, and advise them to wait until the appropriate time to perform the operation.

summary

Wuhan Purui Eye Hospital will conduct a comprehensive assessment of patients when performing OK mirror surgery to ensure the safety and effect of the surgery. Contraindications include severe ocular surface diseases, abnormal corneal morphology, patients under 18 years of age, and pregnant or lactating women. These contraindications are mainly based on the consideration of surgical risks and patients' physical conditions. Before accepting OK mirror surgery, patients should fully communicate with doctors to understand their own adaptation so as to make correct choices.
