Will myopic surgery recur?
With the continuous development of modern science and technology, myopia surgery has become an effective way to solve vision problems. However, many patients will worry about whether myopia will recur after surgery. In Guangzhou Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department, we have many years of clinical experience to provide patients with high-quality myopia surgery and teach patients how to prevent recurrence. Next, we will elaborate on the recurrence of myopia surgery and prevention methods from several aspects.
Operation mode selection
There are many different ways of myopia surgery, such as laser myopia surgery (LASIK), surface laser therapy (PRK) and lens implantation (ICL). It is very important to choose a suitable surgical method to prevent recurrence.
First of all, LASIK is the most common form of myopia surgery, which can quickly restore vision, but for patients with high myopia, there may be a risk of recurrence due to thin cornea.
Secondly, PRK surgery is suitable for patients with thin corneas or those who are not suitable for LASIK. Although the recovery time is long, the risk of recurrence is relatively low because there is no corneal incision.
Finally, ICL surgery is suitable for patients with high myopia and the cornea is not suitable for surgery, and vision can be corrected by implanting adjustable intraocular lens. This method avoids corneal cutting, and the risk of recurrence is very low.
Therefore, when selecting the surgical method, the professional doctor will comprehensively consider the patient's condition and surgical indications, select the most appropriate method for the patient, and reduce the risk of recurrence.
Habits
After surgery, developing good living habits is also the key to prevent recurrence. First, pay attention to protecting your eyes from external stimulation and damage, such as staring at the computer, TV and mobile phone screen for a long time.
Secondly, avoid eye fatigue, and take appropriate eye rest and eye exercises at regular intervals, which can effectively alleviate eye fatigue.
In addition, keep the correct eye distance and eye posture, such as sitting upright, keeping the eye distance from the text moderate, and not lowering your head or reading close to the book.
Finally, regular reexamination is also essential. Timely detect eye problems or signs of recurrence, and take measures as soon as possible.
Postoperative medication and eye care
After surgery, doctors will prescribe drugs according to the specific conditions of patients, such as antibiotic eyedrops and anti-inflammatory drugs, to prevent infection and control inflammatory reaction.
At the same time, patients also need to strictly abide by the doctor's medication guidance, use eye drops on time and in accordance with the amount, review regularly, and follow the doctor's nursing recommendations.
In addition, maintaining good eye hygiene is also an important part of preventing recurrence, such as washing hands frequently, avoiding rubbing eyes with hands, and cleaning glasses regularly.
Comprehensive inspection and regular review
After myopia surgery, comprehensive examination and regular reexamination are important means to prevent recurrence.
The comprehensive examination includes the examination of vision, corneal thickness, intraocular pressure and other relevant data, as well as the examination of the surgical site.
Regular reexamination can find potential problems in time and take corresponding treatment measures.
Only through comprehensive examination and regular reexamination, professional doctors can judge whether there is a risk of recurrence, and take corresponding intervention measures to ensure the vision of patients.
summary
In a word, Guangzhou Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department provides patients with a variety of myopia surgery methods and teaches them how to prevent recurrence of myopia surgery. Choosing a suitable surgical method, developing good living habits, rational medication and eye care, comprehensive examination and regular reexamination all help to reduce the risk of recurrence of myopia surgery, improve the success rate of surgery, and enable patients to have better vision and quality of life.
