Risk and complications of all femtosecond surgery in Wuhan Lu General Hospital
Wuhan Lu General Hospital is a famous ophthalmic hospital, specializing in all femtosecond surgery. Full femtosecond surgery is a surgical method for myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. Although it is very advanced and efficient, we must understand the risks and complications before surgery.
1. Postoperative dry eye
Full femtosecond surgery may lead to postoperative xerophthalmia, which is because the thickness of the cornea cut during corneal ablation exceeds the normal range, affecting the normal tear secretion function of the eye. Patients may have dry eyes, pain, blurred vision and other symptoms. Usually, this symptom will relieve itself within a few weeks after surgery, but a few patients may need additional treatment.
In order to reduce the risk of dry eye after surgery, Wuhan Lu General Hospital will carry out adequate eye examinations before surgery to ensure that patients' eyes are healthy and suitable for full femtosecond surgery. The hospital will also develop a personalized treatment plan based on the preoperative examination results to reduce the incidence of dry eye after surgery.
2. Vision regression
Although full femtosecond surgery can effectively correct vision problems, sometimes the vision after surgery may return to the level before surgery. This may be due to the instability of corneal healing after surgery. Usually, this vision regression is temporary, and over time, the vision will stabilize again.
Wuhan Lu General Hospital will conduct a comprehensive assessment of the patient's eyes before the operation to ensure the success rate of the operation. The hospital will also provide detailed postoperative nursing guidance to help patients recover as soon as possible and reduce the risk of vision regression.
3. Corneal infection
Full femtosecond surgery may increase the risk of corneal infection. During the operation, the cornea is cut. If the sanitary conditions do not meet the standards or the operation is careless, it may lead to corneal infection. Serious infection may lead to visual impairment and even corneal transplantation.
In order to reduce the risk of corneal infection, Wuhan Lu General Hospital strictly implements the operating room disinfection and aseptic operation specifications. The hospital will also carry out strict inspection and disinfection of surgical instruments to ensure that the surgical process is safe and sterile, and provide personalized nursing suggestions for patients after surgery.
4. Other risks and complications
In addition to the risks and complications described above, full femtosecond surgery may also lead to other risks and complications, such as corneal rupture, corneal opacity, postoperative glare, double vision, etc. These symptoms may affect the patient's vision and daily life.
Wuhan Lu General Hospital has an experienced team of ophthalmologists who will conduct a comprehensive assessment before surgery, fully communicate with patients, and introduce the possible risks and complications during surgery in detail. The hospital will develop a personalized operation plan according to the specific situation of the patient, and provide postoperative care and follow-up to ensure the safety of the patient and the recovery of vision.
summary
Full femtosecond surgery in Wuhan Lu General Hospital is an advanced ophthalmic treatment, but we also need to recognize the risks and complications. Postoperative xerophthalmia, vision regression, corneal infection and other risks and complications may occur. However, under the strict operation and personalized treatment of Wuhan Lu General Hospital, these risks can be minimized, and most patients can obtain satisfactory surgical results.
