Does the myopic surgery in Tongji Hospital need pain anesthesia?
As a well-known medical institution, Tongji Hospital provides various ophthalmic surgery services, including myopia surgery. Before the operation, many people will worry about whether the operation is painful and whether anesthesia is needed. The following is a detailed description of the operation process, pain perception, anesthesia mode and patient experience.
Operation process
Myopia surgery in Tongji Hospital is usually performed by laser surgery, mainly including keratomileusis (PRK) and LASIK surgery. In PRK surgery, the doctor will use anesthetic eye drops to anesthetize the eyes, and then perform corneal epithelial grinding operation, and then use laser to correct the cornea. In LASIK, the doctor will make a corneal flap on the surface of the eye, then use the laser to correct the cornea, and reposition the flap in place.
Whether PRK or LASIK, the whole operation process will be carried out in a sterile and clean operating room. The doctor will carry out appropriate anesthetic treatment before the operation to ensure that the patient will not feel obvious pain during the operation.
Pain feeling
When myopia surgery is performed in Tongji Hospital, patients usually do not feel severe pain. Since the doctor will anaesthetize the eyes before the operation, there is almost no pain during the operation. However, some patients may feel slight discomfort or burning pain in the eyes after surgery, which is a normal physiological reaction. The doctor will give appropriate pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort.
It is worth mentioning that the pain feelings of patients will also vary depending on the degree of personal pain tolerance and surgical methods. Some people may feel a little pain from the injection of anesthetics before the operation, but this is only a temporary discomfort, and has nothing to do with the pain during the operation.
Anesthesia mode
Local anesthesia is commonly used for myopia surgery in Tongji Hospital. Before the operation, the doctor will use anesthetic eye drops or anesthetic injections to anesthetize the eye tissue to reduce the pain during the operation. Local anesthesia can provide sufficient analgesic effect, and also avoid the risks and discomfort caused by general anesthesia.
The advantage of using local anesthesia is that the recovery period is short after the operation, and the patient can quickly return to normal daily life. In addition, local anesthesia can also enable doctors to better communicate with patients, provide necessary assistance and guidance, and ensure the smooth operation process.
Patient experience
The patients who underwent myopic surgery in Tongji Hospital generally reported that there was no obvious pain during the surgery. Although some patients may feel discomfort or burning pain in the eyes after surgery, this symptom usually naturally alleviates within a few days. During postoperative recovery, the hospital will provide necessary drugs and nursing guidance to help patients recover their eyesight as soon as possible.
In general, the myopic surgery in Tongji Hospital does not require pain anesthesia. During the operation, local anesthetics will be used to reduce pain, and patients can also communicate with doctors in the operating room. The pain feelings of patients vary from individual to individual, but overall, the discomfort after surgery is controllable. Tongji Hospital will continue to provide safe and effective myopia surgery services for patients with advanced technology and professional medical team.
