What age is myopic surgery suitable for?
Myopia is a common refractive error of the eye, which seriously affects people's vision and quality of life. With the continuous development of medical technology, myopia surgery has become one of the effective methods to treat myopia. However, myopia surgery is not suitable for people of all ages, and age is an important consideration. The following will elaborate on the age range suitable for myopia surgery from four aspects: eye development, stability, health status and psychological adaptability.
Eyeball development
Age is a key factor in eye development. Generally speaking, myopia surgery is suitable for adults over 18 years old. In adolescence, the eyeball is still growing, and myopia is reversible, which may fluctuate in degree. Therefore, if the operation is carried out too early, the effect of the operation may be unstable, and even increase the degree of myopia. Only when the eyeball is stable can myopia surgery be performed to ensure the durability of the surgical effect.
Some hospitals, such as Guangzhou Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department, are able to carry out customized surgery programs according to the individual differences and needs of patients by introducing the most advanced ophthalmic instruments and equipment and combining high-quality medical teams to ensure the safety and effect of surgery.
stability
The age suitable for myopic surgery should also consider the stability of the eyes. When choosing myopia surgery, doctors will pay attention to the stability of myopia degree and whether there is obvious degree fluctuation in the near future. Generally speaking, patients with stable degree for at least one year are suitable for surgery. Because only the eyes with stable degree can guarantee the effect after the operation, otherwise the operation may lose its effect soon and even need to be operated again.
As a professional ophthalmic hospital, Guangzhou Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department has rich experience in surgery and a professional medical team, which can ensure the stability and effect of surgery through detailed inspection and evaluation.
health
In addition to the development and stability of the eyeball, the health of the patient is also one of the considerations for myopia surgery. Generally speaking, patients without serious eye diseases, corneal diseases, cataracts and other eye diseases are in good health, and patients without serious chronic diseases are more suitable for myopia surgery. At the same time, myopia surgery also has certain requirements on the thickness and shape of the patient's cornea.
Guangzhou Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department has modern equipment and facilities, equipped with a first-class medical team, and can determine whether the patient's health is suitable for myopia surgery through comprehensive eye examination and professional surgical evaluation.
Psychological adaptability
The last consideration is the patient's psychological adaptability. Myopic surgery requires patients to have a certain willingness to cooperate and psychological stability, because patients need to actively cooperate with doctors during the operation. Patients need to be able to understand the risks and effects of the operation, and actively cooperate with the doctor's preoperative and postoperative care to ensure the success of the operation.
Guangzhou Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department focuses on the mental health of patients. Through communication and exchange with patients, it provides all-round professional services to help patients enhance their understanding and confidence in surgery.
Summary
To sum up, the suitable age range for myopia surgery is mainly adult patients over 18 years old with stable eyeball development and myopia degree. In addition, the patient is in good health, without serious eye diseases and other chronic diseases. Finally, patients need to have certain psychological adaptability and willingness to cooperate. When choosing myopic surgery, patients should go to a professional eye hospital in a timely manner for detailed examination and evaluation to determine whether it is suitable for surgery, and select an appropriate surgical program.
