Is lens implantation surgery suitable for people of all ages in Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department

Zhongshan Ophthalmology Hospital is a well-known ophthalmic hospital in China, with rich surgical experience and professional medical team. In ophthalmic surgery, lens implantation is a common surgical method to treat myopia and cataract. However, is lens implantation suitable for people of all ages? Next, we will discuss this issue from the aspects of age, visual stability, organic eye disease and postoperative rehabilitation.

Age factor

Lens implantation surgery is applicable to patients over 18 years of age, regardless of whether they are young or old. Young people usually choose lens implantation to correct myopia, while the elderly mainly use lens implantation to treat cataract. Lens implantation can achieve long-term stable effect in young people, and can also avoid cataract and other diseases in the elderly. For the elderly, lens implantation is an effective method of cataract treatment.

However, lens implantation is not suitable for children under 18 years of age. Because children's eyeballs are still in the development stage, lens implantation may affect the normal development of the eyeballs. The treatment of children's myopia should be based on non operative methods, such as wearing appropriate glasses or contact lenses, and carrying out correct eye protection.

Visual stability

Lens implantation surgery requires patients to maintain stable vision, especially myopia. If the patient's vision changes significantly in a short time, such as the degree of myopia increases or decreases rapidly, the surgical effect may be affected. Therefore, before considering whether to carry out lens implantation surgery, patients should conduct visual observation and evaluation for a period of time.

In addition to visual stability, the patient's eye health is also an important consideration factor for lens implantation surgery.

Organic ophthalmopathy

Some organic eye diseases may affect the effect and safety of lens implantation, such as corneal diseases, glaucoma, etc. For these patients, the doctor will make a detailed evaluation when deciding whether to carry out the lens implantation operation, and select the appropriate treatment scheme.

In addition, lens implantation is generally not recommended for pregnant women. Changes in hormone levels during pregnancy may lead to corneal edema and refractive changes, thus affecting the effect of surgery.

Postoperative rehabilitation

After the lens implantation operation, the patient needs a period of recovery and rehabilitation. The recovery time after surgery varies from person to person, and it takes several weeks to several months. After surgery, patients need to follow the doctor's advice, return regularly, and carry out eye protection and care according to the doctor's guidance. During recovery, patients need to avoid strenuous exercise and eye fatigue, so as not to affect the surgical effect.

To sum up, Zhongshan Ophthalmic Lens Implantation Surgery is suitable for patients over 18 years of age, provided that the vision is stable and there is no organic eye disease. A detailed assessment and examination should be carried out before the operation, and the doctor's recommendations should be followed. A period of rehabilitation and eye care is needed after surgery. This surgical method has a significant effect in correcting myopia and treating cataract, providing better vision and quality of life for patients.
