Guangxi Ruikang Hospital: What is the corneal thickness requirement for femtosecond surgery?
Guangxi Ruikang Hospital is a well-known hospital located in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, and its ophthalmic technology has always been in the leading position in China. Femtosecond surgery is an important treatment technology in the hospital, which is widely accepted and recognized by the majority of patients. However, what is the requirement of the patient's corneal thickness for femtosecond surgery? The following four aspects will be described in detail, including the principle of surgery, Ruikang Hospital's standards, patient influencing factors and surgical effects.
1. Operation principle
Femtosecond surgery is a kind of surgical method to cut the cornea through laser technology, which is used to correct vision problems such as myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. During surgery, doctors use laser devices to cut the upper layer of the cornea into foldable sheets, and then change the light refraction path by adjusting the shape of the cornea, so as to improve vision problems. Corneal thickness is an important parameter of surgery, and too thin or too thick cornea will have adverse effects on the results of surgery.
For femtosecond surgery, the thickness of the cornea must meet certain standards to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the surgery. Generally speaking, the optimal corneal thickness for surgery is 450-550 microns, that is, the thickness difference between the thinnest and thickest part of the cornea is about 100 microns.
2. Standards of Ruikang Hospital
Guangxi Ruikang Hospital has strict requirements on the thickness of the patient's cornea when performing femtosecond surgery. According to the hospital's experience and clinical research, the optimal corneal thickness range for surgery was determined to be 450-550 microns. This range can not only ensure the safety of the operation, but also achieve better therapeutic effect. When the patient's corneal thickness is not within this range, the doctor will evaluate it according to the specific situation and decide whether it is suitable for surgery.
Ruikang Hospital can accurately measure corneal thickness through advanced corneal measuring instruments and high-precision laser equipment, and make personalized treatment plans according to individual differences of patients. The professional team of the hospital will make a comprehensive assessment according to the specific situation of the patient to ensure the success rate and safety of the operation.
3. Patient influencing factors
The corneal thickness of patients is affected by many factors, such as age, gender, corneal shape, etc. Age is an important factor. Generally speaking, adult corneas are relatively stable, while young corneas may have greater thickness changes. Gender also has a certain impact, women's corneas are generally slightly thinner than men's. In addition, the irregularity of corneal shape will also affect the feasibility and effect of surgery.
Before femtosecond surgery, patients need to undergo a comprehensive corneal examination, including corneal topography, corneal thickness detection, etc. Through these examinations, doctors can understand the patient's cornea, evaluate the feasibility of surgery, and develop personalized treatment plans to ensure the safety and effectiveness of surgery.
4. Surgical effect
The requirements of femtosecond surgery on corneal thickness are mainly to ensure the safety and effect of surgery. Thin cornea may lead to corneal deformation, vision loss and other complications, while thick cornea may affect the accuracy and stability of surgery. When the patient's corneal thickness is within the appropriate range, the success rate of surgery is higher and the recovery speed is faster.
After the treatment of femtosecond surgery, the patient's vision can usually be significantly improved. The recovery period after surgery is generally short, and patients can quickly return to normal life. However, the surgical results will also be affected by other factors, such as the level of surgical techniques, patients' compliance with medical advice, etc.
Summary
Femtosecond surgery has certain requirements on corneal thickness. Guangxi Ruikang Hospital strictly follows the optimal corneal thickness range when performing surgery to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the operation. The patient's corneal thickness is affected by many factors. The hospital will evaluate the patient's corneal condition through a comprehensive examination and develop a personalized treatment plan. Femtosecond surgery has obvious effect on improving patients' vision problems while the recovery period is short. Finally, Guangxi Ruikang Hospital will continue to improve the technical level of femtosecond surgery and provide better medical services for patients.
