Is the full femtosecond surgical equipment of Wuhan Tongji Hospital painful?
Wuhan Tongji Hospital is a well-known ophthalmic hospital, which has introduced full femtosecond laser surgery equipment to provide patients with efficient and safe myopia correction surgery. However, many people have doubts about whether this surgical equipment will bring pain and whether anesthesia is needed during the operation. This article will elaborate on these issues from the aspects of the operation process, anesthetic use, pain feelings and postoperative recovery.
Operation process
Full femtosecond surgery is a non-contact laser surgery. It uses femtosecond lasers, and does not require the blade to contact the eye. The surgery process is very safe. Before the operation, the doctor will carry out eye anesthesia to ensure the comfort of the patient during the operation. Then, doctors will use a femtosecond laser to create a thin flap like tissue on the cornea, and then use the laser to remove the corrective corneal layer. The whole operation process usually takes only a few minutes. Under the professional operation of doctors, patients can hardly feel pain.
Do you need anesthetics during the operation
During the full femtosecond operation, the doctor will drop anesthetic eyedrops onto the surface of the patient's eyeball to ensure painless operation. Anesthetic eyedrops can produce numbing effect on the surface of the eyes, thus reducing the patient's pain feeling for the operation. This anesthetic eyedrop is enough for most patients, who can hardly feel pain during the operation. However, for those patients who are more sensitive to pain, doctors can give anesthesia injections as needed.
Pain feeling
Full femtosecond surgery is characterized by minimally invasive and rapid recovery. Most patients will only feel slight discomfort and almost no pain during the operation. Because of the use of anesthetic eye drops during the operation, the surface of the eyeball will be numb, and the patient can hardly feel the cutting process. During the operation, the ophthalmologist will ease the patients' tension through communication and encouragement, and keep the operation going smoothly.
Recovery after operation
In addition to almost no pain during the operation, the recovery process of patients after the operation is also relatively smooth. Most patients can recover quickly after surgery due to non-contact eyeball and small wound. Some time after surgery, blurred vision, photophobia, slight dryness and other phenomena may appear, but these are normal reactions and will gradually disappear with time. The doctor will give postoperative guidance to patients to help them correctly use drugs and precautions to promote recovery as soon as possible.
summary
The all femtosecond surgical equipment introduced by Wuhan Tongji Hospital provides a fast, safe and effective method for myopia correction. There is almost no pain feeling during the operation, and patients can easily go through the operation process under the professional operation of doctors. The use of anesthetics has effectively alleviated the pain of patients. The recovery after surgery was smooth, and most patients were able to quickly return to normal life. In a word, the full femtosecond surgical equipment of Wuhan Tongji Hospital has greatly reduced the pain of patients and brought them a clear vision after myopia correction.
