Wuhan Tongji Hospital myopic surgery for which degree of myopia patients?
Myopia (also known as myopia) is a common abnormal refractive condition of the eye, which makes distant objects look blurred or unclear. The degree of myopia will affect the scope of operation. Wuhan Tongji Hospital is a well-known eye hospital, which provides a variety of myopia surgery options. The following will elaborate on which myopic degree patients are suitable for myopic surgery in Wuhan Tongji Hospital from several aspects.
Patients with low myopia
Low myopia refers to people with low myopia degree, usually - 1.0D to - 3.0D myopia. These patients have mild myopia and relatively good vision. For patients with low myopia, Wuhan Tongji Hospital can use laser myopia correction surgery, such as LASIK, PRK, etc. These operations remove the tissue on the corneal surface by laser, change its diopter, and correct vision problems. The patients with low myopia can obtain better vision improvement effect through these operations.
In addition, low myopia patients can also choose lens implantation surgery. Lens implantation surgery is to correct ametropia by implanting adjustable focal length intraocular lens. This kind of surgery is generally applicable to patients with myopia below - 6.0D. For these low myopia patients, Wuhan Tongji Hospital provides a variety of options for lens implantation surgery, such as ICL. The advantage of these operations is that they can keep the eye tissue intact, do not need to cut the cornea, reduce the risk of surgery, and are reversible after surgery.
Patients with moderate myopia
Moderate myopia refers to people with myopia degrees between - 3.0D and - 6.0D. These patients have a high degree of myopia, usually accompanied by a certain decline in vision. For patients with moderate myopia, Wuhan Tongji Hospital recommends more surgical options. In addition to laser myopia correction surgery and lens implantation surgery, surgery options such as vitreous implantation can also be considered.
Vitreous implantation is a method of correcting ametropia by implanting a biconvex artificial vitreous body with adjustable focal length. This operation is suitable for patients with myopia below - 8.0D, especially those with astigmatism. Vitreous implantation has good correction effect and stability, and can significantly improve the vision of patients with moderate myopia.
Patients with high myopia
High myopia refers to people with myopia degree greater than -6.0D, whose myopia degree is relatively serious, and common vision is severely reduced. For patients with high myopia, Wuhan Tongji Hospital recommends the use of lens implantation surgery as the first choice for correction.
Lens implantation surgery is applicable to patients with high myopia between - 10.0D and - 20.0D. This kind of surgery can correct myopia by implanting the adjustable focal length intraocular lens into the eye and changing its diopter. Lens implantation can achieve good correction effect, and the stability of vision after surgery is high. However, it should be noted that the risk of lens implantation surgery is relatively high, and patients need to conduct detailed eye examination and assessment before surgery.

For patients with low myopia, laser myopia correction surgery or lens implantation surgery can be selected; Patients with moderate myopia can consider surgical options such as vitreous implantation; High myopia is suitable for lens implantation.
