Risk and side effects of femtosecond laser surgery in Guangzhou Hospital
In recent years, femtosecond laser surgery has attracted more and more attention and favor from myopic patients. As one of the cities with advanced medical technology in China, Guangzhou has also introduced this advanced surgical technology to major hospitals. For patients, it is very important to understand the risks and side effects of surgery. The risks and side effects of laser femtosecond surgery in Guangzhou Hospital will be described in detail from the following aspects: dry eyes after surgery, vision problems after surgery, infection risks and surgery costs.
Postoperative dry eye
Femtosecond laser surgery is an operation to correct myopia by thinning corneal tissue with laser. During the operation, the laser energy will have a certain impact on the nerves and structures on the corneal surface, leading to the risk of dry eyes after the operation. Postoperative dry eye refers to the decrease or quality of tear secretion, dryness, pain, blurred vision and other symptoms on the corneal surface after surgery due to surgical cutting and post-operative treatment.
In order to prevent and reduce dry eyes after surgery, Guangzhou Hospital will conduct detailed preoperative evaluation and examination before surgery to ensure that the amount and quality of tear secretion of patients are normal. After the operation, the doctor will prescribe corresponding eye drops and ointment to help relieve dry eye symptoms. However, there are still some patients who may have severe dry eyes after surgery and need further treatment.
Postoperative vision problems
Femtosecond laser surgery is a kind of lens replacement surgery, which can significantly improve the vision of patients after surgery, but it can not guarantee 100% recovery to normal vision. After surgery, some patients may have unstable vision, vision regression or low astigmatism.
Before the femtosecond laser surgery in Guangzhou Hospital, the doctor will conduct a detailed preoperative examination according to the patient's eye conditions to ensure the feasibility of the surgery. However, because everyone's eye conditions and postoperative rehabilitation are different, postoperative vision problems cannot be completely avoided. During the rehabilitation period after the operation, the patient needs to actively cooperate with the doctor's rehabilitation guidance and visit again regularly, so as to find and deal with postoperative vision problems in a timely manner.
Risk of infection
Although laser femtosecond surgery uses high-tech laser technology, it still has a certain risk of infection. During surgery, corneal tissue is thinned and cut, which weakens the eye's defense ability and makes it vulnerable to bacteria and viruses.
In order to reduce the risk of infection, Guangzhou Hospital will carry out detailed preoperative preparation and inspection before surgery to ensure that the patients' eyes are free of inflammation and infection. During the operation, doctors will strictly abide by the aseptic operation specifications to ensure the cleanness and disinfection of surgical instruments and environment. After the operation, the doctor will prescribe corresponding antibiotic eyedrops to patients to prevent infection. The patient needs to use the eyedrops correctly according to the doctor's requirements, and return regularly to ensure the recovery of the wound and eliminate the risk of infection.
Operation expenses
The cost of femtosecond laser surgery in Guangzhou Hospital varies according to the level and geographical location of the hospital. Generally speaking, the operation cost of senior hospitals is relatively high, while that of some basic hospitals is relatively friendly.
When choosing hospitals for femtosecond laser surgery, patients should not only pay attention to the quality of surgery and the technical level of doctors, but also consider the cost of surgery. Patients can consult the relevant cost information of the hospital in advance and make comparison and selection to ensure the quality of surgery and the rationality of the cost.
Summary
To sum up, although femtosecond laser surgery in Guangzhou Hospital is an advanced technology, it also has certain risks and side effects. Before deciding to operate, patients should fully understand the risks and side effects of the operation, and fully communicate and discuss with doctors. At the same time, the selection of appropriate hospitals and doctors is also an important factor to ensure the quality of surgery and postoperative results.
