The choice of new myopia surgery in Wuhan Tongji Hospital
With the continuous development of science and technology, Wuhan Tongji Hospital provides a variety of options for myopia surgery. These operations aim to correct myopia by changing the shape of the eyeball. Next, we will introduce the new options of myopia surgery in Wuhan Tongji Hospital from four aspects.
1. Corneal laser surgery
Corneal laser surgery is one of the most common myopia surgery at present, and is also a popular choice of Wuhan Tongji Hospital. This surgery uses laser technology to change the shape of the cornea, thereby improving vision. Wuhan Tongji Hospital has launched the latest corneal laser surgery, including LASIK, PRK and LASEK.
LASIK is the most widely used corneal laser surgery in recent years. It can change the shape of the cornea by making corneal flap and then laser cutting deeper corneal tissue. PRK and LASEK operations do not make corneal flap, but slightly scrape the corneal epithelium, and then perform laser cutting to correct vision.
No matter what kind of corneal laser surgery, the advantages are that the surgical process is short, the recovery time is fast, and the effect is stable. However, it should be noted that corneal laser surgery has certain damage to eye tissue, which may lead to dry eyes and other uncomfortable symptoms.
2. Micro implant surgery
Micro implant surgery is a new myopic surgery recently introduced by Wuhan Tongji Hospital. Under the guidance of micro implantable lens, the laser cut cornea is implanted into the eye to change the ocular diopter and correct vision. Compared with traditional corneal laser surgery, micro implantable lens surgery has less corneal damage and shorter recovery time.
Microimplant surgery is mainly applicable to patients with high myopia and thin corneal thickness. However, it should be noted that this kind of surgery is still in the development stage, and the requirements for surgeons are high.
3. Mild keratoplasty
Mild keratoplasty, Ortho-K, is a non operative and non-invasive method to correct myopia. Wuhan Tongji Hospital has recently begun to promote this new treatment for myopia.
Ortho-K corrects myopia mainly through the plastic shape of the cornea through a specially made corneal contact lens. The patient wore contact lenses before going to bed at night and stayed in the eyes all night. After removing the lenses during the day, the degree of myopia decreased and the vision was corrected. This method is more suitable for some people who are not suitable for surgery, such as teenagers and children.
Ortho-K needs to wear contact lenses continuously to maintain the correction effect. At the same time, it needs to review regularly to adjust the lens fit. The patient needs to undergo a detailed examination and evaluation before starting to wear it to ensure that this method is suitable for him.
4. Scientific eye
In addition to surgical treatment, Wuhan Tongji Hospital also emphasized the importance of scientific eye use. Scientific eye use includes reasonable control of eye use time, good eye use posture, proper rest, etc. Some myopia correction methods are not applicable to all people, such as teenagers and children, and the development of myopia can be controlled through scientific eye use.
Scientific eye use is a way to protect eye health. It can prevent the need for myopia surgery by controlling the progress of myopia.
Summary
Wuhan Tongji Hospital provides a variety of options for myopic patients. Corneal laser surgery is one of the main choices, which has the characteristics of rapid recovery and stable effect. As a recent new technology, micro implantable lens surgery has less damage to the cornea and is suitable for patients with high myopia. Mild keratoplasty is a non operative treatment, which is suitable for people who are not suitable for surgery. In addition, scientific eye use is also an important correction method for myopia. Before choosing a suitable operation, the patient should conduct a detailed evaluation and examination under the guidance of the doctor.
