Laser Eye Surgery
Ophthalmic surgery is one of the common methods to treat eye diseases. With the development of modern medical technology, laser ophthalmic surgery has become a common and effective treatment. In Guangzhou Zhongda Eye Hospital, patients can choose a variety of laser eye surgery to improve their vision problems. Several common laser ophthalmic operations are described in detail below.
Laser surgery for myopia
Myopia is a common vision problem, which brings a lot of inconvenience to people's life. Laser surgery for myopia is to change the curvature of the cornea by removing the corneal tissue with laser, so as to correct myopia. In Guangzhou Zhongda Eye Hospital, there are many options for laser surgery for myopia, including LASIK, PRK, LASEK, etc.
LASIK is the most common method of laser surgery for myopia. The doctor will first use a laser to cut a thin slice on the cornea, then use the laser to remove the corneal tissue to change its shape, and finally put the slice back in place. The whole operation process does not require suture, and the recovery time is short.
PRK and LASEK operations are similar to LASIK operations, which change the shape of corneal tissue by laser removal. The difference is that in PRK and LASEK surgery, the doctor will remove the epithelial layer of the corneal surface, and then perform laser correction. Compared with LASIK, the recovery time of PRK and LASEK is longer.
Cataract laser surgery
Cataract is a common eye disease in the elderly, which seriously affects vision. Guangzhou Zhongda Eye Hospital provides a variety of laser surgery to treat cataracts. Among them, laser cataract surgery is a very effective and minimally invasive treatment.
Laser cataract surgery is based on laser technology. The damaged lens tissue is cut and removed by laser, and then the adult intraocular lens is replaced. This kind of operation does not require surgery, has less trauma to the patient, and has a relatively short recovery period. Laser cataract surgery can significantly improve the vision of patients and help them resume their daily life.
Laser surgery for glaucoma
Glaucoma is a common eye disease, which may lead to visual loss in serious cases. In Guangzhou Zhongda Eye Hospital, patients can choose laser glaucoma surgery to treat the disease.
Laser glaucoma surgery is a method to reduce intraocular pressure by cutting or cauterizing tissues with laser to improve the flow of intraocular fluid. This operation can effectively help patients control the progress of glaucoma and reduce the risk of vision loss. Compared with traditional surgery, laser glaucoma surgery has the advantages of less trauma and faster recovery.
keratorefractive surgery
Corneal refractive surgery is a kind of surgery to correct the refractive degree by changing the shape of the cornea with a laser. In Guangzhou Zhongda Eye Hospital, corneal refractive surgery includes LASIK, PRK, ICL and other options.
ICL surgery is a method of correcting refractive error by implanting intraocular lens. The doctor will implant an adjustable intraocular lens into the eye to change the corneal diopter by changing the shape of the lens. This operation is suitable for correction of myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism.
In a word, Guangzhou Zhongda Eye Hospital provides a variety of laser eye surgery to treat different eye diseases. Whether it is myopia, cataract, glaucoma or corneal refraction, patients can choose their own laser ophthalmic surgery to improve their vision problems. If you have an eye disease that needs treatment, you may consider consulting a professional ophthalmologist in Guangzhou Zhongda Eye Hospital to obtain the most appropriate treatment plan.
