Does Wuhan Purui Eye Hospital need to wear contact lenses before femtosecond surgery?
With the increasing attention to eye health, surgery has become a common way for myopia patients to correct their vision. Wuhan Purui Eye Hospital, as a professional eye hospital, uses femtosecond laser technology for myopia correction surgery, which is favored by the majority of patients with its advantages of safety, accuracy, speed and so on. However, many people still have some doubts about whether they need to wear contact lenses before surgery. The following will elaborate on this issue from many aspects.
Influence of corneal morphology on surgical results
Femtosecond laser technology corrects vision by cutting the cornea layer by layer and changing its shape. Therefore, the shape of the cornea has an important impact on the surgical results. For some patients with irregular corneal morphology, wearing contact lenses can play a certain role in adjustment. For example, for some patients with abnormal corneal curvature, wearing rigid contact lenses with corrective effect can help to adjust the corneal morphology and improve the corrective effect of surgery in a period of time before surgery.
However, not every patient needs to wear contact lenses, which needs to be determined according to the doctor's assessment. In Wuhan Purui Eye Hospital, doctors will conduct a comprehensive assessment based on the patient's corneal morphology, and provide personalized surgical solutions for patients.
Corneal morphological examination before surgery
In order to ensure the safety and effect of the operation, Wuhan Purui Eye Hospital will conduct a comprehensive corneal morphology examination before the operation. These examinations include corneal topography, corneal thickness examination, etc. Through these examinations, we can accurately assess the morphological characteristics of the cornea, and then determine whether to wear contact lenses for surgery.
For patients with normal corneal morphology, contact lenses are generally not required. For some patients with irregular and special corneal morphology, they need to wear contact lenses recommended by doctors for a period of time in order to adjust corneal morphology and create better conditions for surgery.
Eye hygiene and quality assurance before surgery
In addition to the consideration of corneal morphology, eye hygiene and quality assurance before surgery are also very important. In Wuhan Purui Eye Hospital, the doctor will conduct a comprehensive examination of the patient's eyes to ensure that the eyes are in good health without any signs of infection or inflammation.
In addition, a series of pre-treatment is also required before surgery, including freeze-dried corneal cutting, glasses matching, and preoperative medication. The purpose of these pre-treatments is to provide the best surgical environment and effect, and ensure the smooth operation. Therefore, wearing contact lenses before surgery is closely related to the safety and effect of surgery.
Summary
To sum up, Wuhan Purui Eye Hospital has adopted a personalized solution to the problem of whether to wear contact lenses before femtosecond surgery. Patients with normal corneal morphology generally do not need to wear contact lenses; For patients with irregular corneal morphology, doctors will decide whether to wear contact lenses according to the corneal morphology evaluation results. In addition, in terms of eye hygiene and quality assurance before surgery, the hospital also has a series of strict inspections and pre-treatment to ensure the safety and effect of surgery. Therefore, when considering whether to wear contact lenses before surgery, patients should follow the advice of professional doctors and make decisions according to their personal circumstances.
