Does Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department need regular reexamination after ICL surgery?
Zhongshan Ophthalmology is an officially registered ophthalmic hospital with many years of rich experience. The hospital has independently developed an advanced vision correction surgery - ICL surgery. ICL surgery, as a safe, effective and reversible way of vision correction, is favored by patients. However, many patients will ask a question: Is regular reexamination required after ICL surgery? This problem is described in detail from several aspects below.
Visual acuity recovery after surgery
ICL surgery is a kind of surgery similar to contact lens surgery, which has a high success rate and significantly improves the visual correction effect. However, the recovery of each person is different, so it needs to be reviewed regularly to assess the recovery of vision. Within a few months after the operation, doctors need to monitor the patient's corneal status, intraocular pressure, lens position and other indicators through regular inspection to ensure the effect of the operation and the health of the eyes.
The first reexamination after operation is usually carried out on the second day after the operation. The purpose of this reexamination is to confirm whether the operation is successful and observe whether there is any discomfort in the eyes. Thereafter, reexamination is usually carried out in the first week, the first month and the third month after surgery to assess the degree of vision recovery.
Although ICL surgery has significant vision correction effect, it is recommended that patients should be rechecked every three months in the first year after the operation, and then rechecked every year, so as to find and deal with any potential problems in a timely manner.
Elimination of potential risks after surgery
Although ICL is a safe and effective surgical method, it does not mean that there is no potential risk. Regular reexamination of patients after surgery can help doctors eliminate potential risks in a timely manner and ensure patients' eye health.
For example, regular reexamination can help doctors find complications such as increased intraocular pressure, redness, eyelid edema and dry eyes that may occur after surgery, as well as other potential complications. If any abnormality is found, the doctor can handle it in time to avoid further damage.
In addition, regular review can also help doctors monitor the stability of patients' vision. Sometimes, the vision will change for a period of time after surgery. If it is found and adjusted in time, the problem of vision rebound can be avoided.
Consideration of individual differences
Everyone's body and eye conditions are different, so the reexamination cycle after ICL surgery will vary according to individual differences. Some patients' vision recovered very quickly, and they recovered completely within a few months after the operation; Some patients may need longer time to achieve the best correction effect.
Therefore, regular reexamination can help doctors understand the individual situation of each patient, and adjust the reexamination cycle and treatment plan according to individual differences to achieve better results.
Psychological comfort and answering doubts
ICL surgery is a relatively complicated operation, which is a major decision for many people. Regular reexamination can not only evaluate the surgical effect through scientific examination, but also give patients psychological comfort and answer their doubts.
Patients often have doubts and anxiety about the recovery of vision and the effect of surgery after surgery. Regular reexamination allows patients to communicate with doctors, answer their doubts in a timely manner, and make patients more confident in their recovery and life after surgery.
summary
Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department needs regular reexamination after ICL surgery. Regular reexamination can assess the recovery of vision, eliminate potential risks, consider individual differences, and give psychological comfort to patients and answer their doubts. Patients should actively participate in the reexamination after the operation according to the doctor's suggestions, and work closely with the doctor to obtain the best visual correction effect.
