Nanjing Laser Femtosecond Hospital: What age is suitable for laser surgery?

Nanjing Laser Femtosecond Hospital is a medical institution specializing in ophthalmic laser surgery, with advanced equipment and an experienced medical team. As a common method to correct vision problems, laser surgery has attracted more and more attention. However, laser surgery is not suitable for people of all ages. So, what age is suitable for laser surgery? This article will elaborate from four aspects.

1. Mature vision problems

Laser surgery is mainly used to correct myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism and other vision problems. For adults, vision problems usually stabilize in adolescence, so they are suitable for laser surgery. Normally, doctors will ask patients to consider surgery after their vision has stabilized for a certain time to ensure long-term stability of the surgical effect.

However, the vision of children and adolescents is usually still in the development stage, and the eyeball and lens may continue to change. Therefore, doctors usually do not recommend laser surgery for people under 18 years of age, so as not to affect vision development.

In general, mature and stable vision is an important condition for laser surgery.

2. Healthy eye condition

Eye health is another important factor in deciding whether laser surgery is suitable. Before surgery, the doctor will perform a detailed eye examination to assess the patient's eye condition. Some eye diseases (such as cataract, glaucoma, etc.) and people with some systemic diseases (such as diabetes) are generally not suitable for laser surgery.

In addition, corneal thickness is also a factor determining the suitability of surgery. Laser surgery requires thinning the cornea. If the cornea is too thin, the risk of surgery will increase. Therefore, the doctor will measure and evaluate the patient's cornea to determine the feasibility of the operation.

3. Psychological and economic conditions

To perform laser surgery, patients need to have certain psychological preparation and economic ability. Although the operation process is short, for some people, it still needs some courage to face the process of the scalpel entering the eyeball. Therefore, patients must be fully consulted and understood to make wise decisions.

In addition, the cost of laser surgery is relatively high, and patients should consider whether their economic ability can bear the cost of surgery and follow-up review. If economic conditions do not allow, you can consider other suitable vision correction methods.

4. Doctor's suggestions and professional opinions

Finally, doctors' suggestions and professional opinions are the key to determine the suitability of laser surgery. In Nanjing Laser Femtosecond Hospital, doctors will make a comprehensive assessment based on the patients' eye conditions, vision problems and personal conditions, and give professional suggestions. They will give suggestions on whether laser surgery is suitable and what kind of laser surgery is suitable according to the needs and expected effects of patients.

To sum up, suitable people for laser surgery in Nanjing Laser Femtosecond Hospital should have mature vision problems, healthy eye conditions, good psychological and economic conditions, and follow the doctor's advice and professional opinions. Only by comprehensively considering these factors can the effect and safety of laser surgery be ensured.
