How suitable is ICL surgery for myopia? Is it only suitable for high myopia?
In Wuhan Tongji Hospital, ICL surgery for myopia is a common method to treat myopia. However, many people have doubts about the applicability of surgery. This article will introduce the relevant information of ICL surgery for myopia in detail from four aspects: the suitability of surgery, the selection of non high myopia patients, the safety of surgery and the effect of surgery.
1、 Degree of suitability for surgery
ICL surgery for myopia is mainly applicable to myopia patients whose degree is between - 3.00D and - 20.00D. For those with high myopia whose degree exceeds - 20.00D, the effect of ICL surgery may be limited due to the large corneal curvature. Therefore, for patients with degrees over - 20.00D, it is recommended to consult with doctors in detail before surgery to assess the applicability of surgery.
In addition, the suitability of the surgery should also be evaluated in combination with the patient's corneal thickness, the distance between the iris and the lens and other factors. The professional ophthalmologist of Wuhan Tongji Hospital will make a comprehensive assessment based on the patients' eye conditions to provide the most appropriate treatment plan for patients.
2、 Selection of non high myopia patients
ICL surgery is not only suitable for high myopia patients, but also an effective treatment for some non high myopia patients. For example, for myopic patients with lower degrees, ICL surgery can help them get rid of the trouble of wearing glasses or contact lenses. At the same time, ICL surgery can also repair corneal morphology and improve visual quality.
When choosing ICL surgery for non high myopia patients, doctors also need to take into account the patient's age, vision changes, eye conditions and other factors. Therefore, non high myopia patients should consult and evaluate with professional ophthalmologists in detail before deciding to accept ICL surgery.
3、 Safety of operation
ICL surgery is a long-term development and widely used method to treat myopia, with high safety and reliability. The operation is carried out in the orbit, which will not damage the patient's cornea, nor affect the follow-up ophthalmic surgery. The natural materials used in surgery, such as collagen, have no side effects on the eye tissues of patients, and are more safe and reliable.
However, ICL surgery is still an eye surgery, with certain risks. Before operation, patients are required to have a comprehensive eye examination to ensure the safety and feasibility of the operation. After the operation, it is also necessary to strictly follow the doctor's postoperative nursing guidance to avoid postoperative complications.
4、 Effect of operation
ICL surgery for myopia can rapidly improve the patient's vision and improve the quality of vision after surgery. The recovery period after surgery is short, and the patient can quickly return to normal life and work.
ICL surgery can also improve patients' night vision and clarity of distant objects. The collagen material implanted during the surgery can form a stable natural structure on the cornea, reducing the occurrence of eye discomfort and dry eye after surgery.
In general, ICL surgery for myopia is a safe and effective treatment method, which is not only applicable to high myopia patients, but also can bring good results to some non high myopia patients. However, the degree of suitability for surgery needs to be evaluated according to the individual condition of the patient, and the nursing work before and after surgery also needs to be strictly observed by the patient. If you are troubled by myopia, you can go to Wuhan Tongji Hospital for consultation and evaluation to find a suitable treatment scheme.
To sum up, ICL surgery for myopia in Wuhan Tongji Hospital is applicable to myopia patients whose degree is between - 3.00D and - 20.00D. The operation can safely and effectively improve the vision, but for patients with a degree of more than - 20.00D, the appropriateness needs to be evaluated by the doctor. In addition, ICL surgery is not only suitable for high myopia patients, but also an effective treatment for some non high myopia patients. The operation is safe and reliable, but the individual condition of the patient and the operation risk still need to be considered. ICL surgery can significantly improve vision, improve visual quality, and help patients get rid of the trouble of wearing glasses and contact lenses.
