Is myopic surgery in Wuhan Tongji Hospital suitable for people of all ages?
Myopic surgery has become a common method to treat myopia. As a professional eye hospital, Wuhan Tongji Hospital provides various types of myopia surgery. However, is myopic surgery suitable for people of all ages? Next, we will elaborate on this from four aspects: surgical standards, eye physiological development, surgical risks and postoperative care.
Surgical criteria
The myopic surgery in Wuhan Tongji Hospital is suitable for patients over 18 years old, with stable myopic degree for more than one year, stable eye length and normal intraocular pressure. For minors, doctors will evaluate their surgical adaptability more carefully. Because the eyes of minors are still in the development stage, the operation may affect the growth and adjustment function of the eyes. Therefore, when deciding on surgery, the doctor will comprehensively consider the patient's age, myopia degree, intraocular pressure, eyeball structure and other factors.
At the same time, for patients over 40 years old, if there are presbyopia or other eye problems, doctors will fully assess the risks and effects of surgery, and communicate and negotiate with patients. For the elderly, considering the natural aging of the eye, the surgical effect may be limited.
Therefore, although myopic surgery in Wuhan Tongji Hospital is suitable for people of most ages, doctors will formulate specific surgery plans according to individual conditions.
Physiological development of eye
There are differences in the physiological development of eyes among people of different ages, which will also affect the adaptability of surgery. In children and adolescents, the eyeball is growing and developing, and the diopter is also changing, so the degree of myopia may change. Therefore, for minors, doctors will more carefully evaluate the adaptability of surgery to ensure that surgery will not have adverse effects on eye development.
With the growth of age, the adjustment function of the eye will gradually decline. For the middle-aged and elderly, surgery may not be able to fully restore their far and near sighted functions. Therefore, when deciding on surgery, doctors will comprehensively consider the characteristics of eye physiological development and the impact of surgery on it.
Surgical risk
When people of different ages undergo myopia surgery, there may be different surgical risks. For minors, surgery may affect the growth and development of the eyeball, and may also increase the risk of postoperative complications. Therefore, doctors will evaluate the risks and benefits of surgery more carefully and explain them to patients and their parents in detail.
For the middle-aged and elderly, the risk of surgery may increase due to the natural aging of the eyes and the existence of other eye diseases. Preoperative comprehensive examination and assessment is very important to reduce the risk of surgery. Doctors will formulate corresponding surgical plans according to the patient's age, physical condition, eye structure and other factors.
Postoperative care
No matter what age group of patients, postoperative care after myopic surgery is very important. The doctor will guide the patient to pay attention to the eye hygiene after the operation, and avoid strenuous exercise and overuse of the eye, so as not to damage the operation effect or delay the recovery.
For minors, they usually need more attention and care. The doctor will review regularly to ensure stable surgical effect and adjust the treatment plan at any time.
For the middle-aged and elderly, postoperative eye care is more important. The doctor will give a longer recovery period and conduct regular reexamination to ensure the surgical effect and eye health.
summary
To sum up, myopic surgery in Wuhan Tongji Hospital is not suitable for people of all ages. The doctor will evaluate the adaptability and risk of the operation according to the patient's age, myopia degree, eye structure and other factors, and develop a personalized operation plan. No matter what age group of patients, they need to strictly follow the doctor's guidance and postoperative care before and after surgery to ensure the surgical effect and eye health.
