What are the risks of femtosecond surgery in Guangzhou?
With the development of ophthalmic technology in recent years, femtosecond laser surgery in Guangzhou has become a popular choice for myopia surgery. However, as all operations have risks, femtosecond surgery is no exception. This article will elaborate on the risks of femtosecond surgery in Guangzhou from four aspects.
1. Operation related risks
Femtosecond surgery in Guangzhou is usually performed by experienced ophthalmologists and hospitals equipped with advanced equipment, but there are still some risks associated with surgery.
First, femtosecond surgery may cause infection. Although antibiotics are injected during the operation to prevent infection, some patients may still have infection symptoms after the operation, such as redness and swelling of the eyes and increased secretion.
Secondly, femtosecond surgery may cause dry eyes. Within a few weeks after the operation, the patient may feel dry and uncomfortable eyes, which may require long-term eye drops and special care.
In addition, femtosecond surgery may also cause photosensitivity, that is, photosensitivity. For some time after the operation, the patient may be sensitive to sunlight or strong light, and it is necessary to avoid exposure to strong light.
2. Risk of postoperative complications
In addition to the risks of the operation itself, some complications may occur after femtosecond surgery.
First, postoperative vision fluctuation is a common problem. After surgery, the patient's vision may become clear at the beginning, but it may fluctuate in a later period of time, and needs to gradually stabilize.
Secondly, postoperative glare and halo may occur. After surgery, patients may be sensitive to strong light, resulting in glare and halo, affecting daily life.
In addition, night vision problems may occur after surgery. Some patients may have decreased vision in low light environment, which may affect their night activities to some extent.
3. Long term risk
In addition to short-term risks after surgery, femtosecond surgery also has some long-term risks.
First, vision regression may occur after surgery. Although the femtosecond surgery technology in Guangzhou is relatively advanced, in some cases, the vision after surgery may regress within a few years or more, and patients may need to undergo a second operation or take other methods to correct.
Secondly, corneal injury may occur after surgery. Some patients may have corneal damage during or after surgery, which may cause eye discomfort and vision problems.
In addition, there may be a risk of dry eye after surgery. Femtosecond surgery may cause damage to the natural wetting mechanism of the eyes, leading to dry eye symptoms in patients, and corresponding treatment measures need to be taken.
4. Risk of choosing femtosecond surgery
Finally, there are some risks in choosing femtosecond surgery.
The first is the cost of surgery. Femtosecond surgery is more expensive than traditional surgery, and may not be affordable for some patients.
The second is the uncertainty of surgical effect. Although the success rate of femtosecond surgery is high, there is still some uncertainty, especially for patients with high myopia or other eye problems.
In addition, the recovery period after surgery also requires the patient to pay a certain amount of time and effort. Follow the doctor's recommendations for eye care after surgery, and may need to do a regular review for a period of time.
Summary
In Guangzhou, femtosecond surgery, as a popular myopia surgery, has advanced technology and equipment, but there are still some risks. The risks associated with surgery include infection, dry eyes and light sensitivity. Postoperative complications include vision fluctuations, glare and halos, and night vision problems. Long term risks include vision regression, corneal damage and dry eye. The choice of femtosecond surgery has its own risks, such as the cost of surgery, the uncertainty of surgical effect, and the time and effort required to pay in the postoperative recovery period. When considering femtosecond surgery, patients should fully understand these risks, and fully communicate with doctors to make joint decisions.
