What are the risks of hyperopia surgery in Guangzhou?
As an important city in southern China, Guangzhou has many excellent eye hospitals and professional ophthalmologists. Ophthalmic hyperopia surgery is a common surgery, which can help hyperopia patients improve their vision. However, any operation has certain risks, and Guangzhou ophthalmic hyperopia surgery is no exception. The risks of hyperopia surgery in Guangzhou ophthalmology will be described in detail in the following four aspects: preoperative evaluation, surgical complications, postoperative effects and recurrence rate.
Preoperative evaluation
Preoperative evaluation is the key step to determine whether it is suitable for ophthalmic hyperopia surgery. Ophthalmologists will conduct detailed eye examinations and vision tests to assess the patient's eye health and surgical risks. However, due to the different eye conditions of each person, there may be some risks in preoperative assessment.
First, preoperative evaluation may not accurately predict the outcome after surgery. Even if the evaluation results show that the patient is suitable for surgery, there may still be unsatisfactory surgical results.
Secondly, the preoperative assessment may not reveal potential eye diseases or lesions. Some eye diseases may require other treatment, which is not suitable for ophthalmic hyperopia surgery. If these problems are not found in time, complications may occur after the operation.
Finally, there are errors in preoperative evaluation. Although doctors try their best to make an accurate evaluation, there may still be miscalculations. For example, the evaluation result shows that the patient is not suitable for surgery, but in fact, the effect after surgery is good.
Surgical complications
Although ophthalmic hyperopia surgery is safe in many cases, there are still some possible complications.
First, infection may occur during surgery. The eye is a very sensitive organ, and bacteria or viruses may be introduced during surgery, leading to infection. If the infection is not treated in time, the vision may be damaged.
Secondly, dry eye symptoms may occur after surgery. Ophthalmic hyperopia surgery will change the shape of the cornea, thus affecting the secretion and distribution of tears. This may cause dry eyes, discomfort, or even affect vision.
In addition, keratitis or ulcers may occur after surgery. These complications may be caused by the incision on the cornea. If not treated in time, it may lead to decreased vision.
Postoperative effect
The postoperative effect of ophthalmic hyperopia surgery is of concern to every patient. Although surgery can improve the vision of hyperopia patients, not everyone can achieve ideal results.
First, whether the vision after surgery reaches the ideal level depends on the initial vision of the patient and the choice of surgical method. Some patients may not be able to completely get rid of the dependence of glasses or contact lenses, and still need auxiliary vision correction means.
Secondly, postoperative vision may be unstable. The vision may fluctuate within weeks or months after surgery. Such fluctuations may affect daily life and work.
Finally, night vision problems may occur after surgery. Some patients may have blurred vision or halo at night or in low light environment, which may affect night driving and other activities.
Recurrence rate
The recurrence rate of ophthalmic hyperopia surgery should also be considered. Recurrence refers to the gradual recovery of vision after surgery to the level before surgery. Although the effect of ophthalmic hyperopia surgery is usually lasting, some patients may experience recurrence.
The recurrence rate is affected by many factors, including surgical methods, corneal structure and postoperative care. If recurrence occurs, the patient may need another operation or other treatment.
In general, Guangzhou ophthalmic hyperopia surgery can help hyperopia patients improve their vision, but there are still some risks. The accuracy of preoperative evaluation, the occurrence of surgical complications, postoperative effects and recurrence rate are all factors that need careful consideration by patients before deciding on surgery. When selecting surgery hospitals and ophthalmologists, formal medical institutions and experienced doctors should be selected to minimize the risk of surgery.
