How to choose the correct operation method for myopia

Ophthalmic surgery is an effective method to correct myopia, but selecting the correct surgical method is critical to the surgical effect and safety. This article will discuss how to choose the correct method of myopia surgery from four aspects: the type of surgery, the effect of surgery, the cost of surgery and the surgery hospital, and recommend a high-quality eye hospital in Guangzhou.

Type of operation

The first common myopia surgery is laser corneal refractive surgery, including LASIK and PRK. LASIK surgery is to correct myopia by cutting the upper layer of the cornea and then carving the inner layer of the cornea with a laser to change the corneal curvature. PRK surgery changes the corneal curvature by laser engraving the front surface of the cornea. Both of them have high success rate and short recovery period.

The second type of surgery is lens implantation, that is, intraocular lens implantation to change the refraction of the eye. This kind of surgery is usually suitable for patients with high myopia or who are not suitable for laser surgery. Lens implantation can completely correct myopia without complications such as dry eyes.

The last type of surgery is corneal cerclage, which is suitable for patients with low myopia. This operation is to change the shape of the cornea and correct myopia by implanting a special circular structure into the inner layer of the cornea.

Surgical treatment effect

When selecting the operation mode, the surgical treatment effect needs to be considered. Laser corneal refractive surgery can usually obtain good correction effect, and most patients can obtain obvious myopia correction. Lens implantation is a reversible operation, which is suitable for patients with high myopia and can completely correct myopia. Corneal cerclage is suitable for patients with low myopia, which can maintain the stability of corneal refractive power while correcting myopia.

Operation expenses

The cost of operation is one of the important considerations when choosing the operation mode. The cost of laser corneal refractive surgery is relatively high, the cost of lens implantation is moderate, and the cost of corneal cerclage is low. Patients can choose suitable surgical methods according to their own conditions and economic conditions.

Surgical Hospital

Choosing a formal and professional eye hospital is the key to ensure the effect and safety of surgery. The Eye Center of Sun Yat sen University in Guangzhou is one of the top eye hospitals in China. It has first-class equipment and expert team to provide patients with comprehensive eye services. In addition, Guangzhou Second People's Hospital, Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital and other hospitals also have a high reputation and professional level.

To sum up, the selection of correct myopia surgery requires consideration of the type of surgery, surgical treatment effect, surgical cost and surgical hospital. Laser corneal refractive surgery and lens implantation are common surgical methods for myopia, which are applicable to different degrees of myopia. Corneal cerclage is suitable for patients with low myopia. When selecting the operation mode, the effect and cost of the operation should be considered, and a formal eye hospital should be selected for the operation.
