Nanjing Laser Femtosecond Hospital: Which laser surgery is better?
Nanjing Laser Femtosecond Hospital is a medical institution specializing in laser surgery, with advanced equipment and an experienced team of doctors. In the field of laser surgery, there are many surgical methods to choose from, including femtosecond laser surgery and traditional laser surgery. Many patients have doubts about the effect of these two surgical methods, and do not know which is more suitable for them. This article will compare the effects of femtosecond laser surgery and traditional laser surgery from four aspects to help patients make more intelligent choices.
Operation safety
First, we need to consider the safety of the operation. Femtosecond laser surgery is a non-contact surgery. The laser beam does not directly contact the cornea, so it can greatly reduce the risk of surgery and reduce the possibility of incision infection and inflammation. However, traditional laser surgery requires the use of mechanical cutters, which are in direct contact with the cornea, increasing the risk of surgery. In addition, femtosecond laser surgery is more accurate, which can better protect corneal tissue and reduce postoperative discomfort and sequelae.
However, it is undeniable that the equipment and technology of femtosecond laser surgery are relatively complex and require a higher level of doctor operation. Therefore, traditional laser surgery may be more suitable for some special patients, such as those with eye surface diseases or those with insufficient corneal thickness.
Surgical effect
The effect of surgery is one of the most concerned problems for patients. Femtosecond laser surgery is more accurate and controllable in the corneal ablation process, and can develop personalized surgical programs according to the patient's corneal curvature and diopter, so as to achieve better correction results. In addition, because the femtosecond laser surgery has less damage to the corneal tissue, the recovery period after the surgery is shorter, and the patient can return to the normal life and work state faster.
In contrast, the surgical effect of traditional laser surgery may be slightly inferior due to the limitations of mechanical cutters. During the operation, the pressure on the eyeball will also be relatively greater, which may lead to problems such as discomfort and dryness after the operation. But for some simple diopter correction, the traditional laser surgery also has certain effect.
Postoperative complications
Any operation will have a certain risk of complications, and patients also need to consider this when choosing the operation method. The incidence of complications of femtosecond laser surgery is low, and poor corneal epithelial peeling, inflammatory reaction and corneal incision cracking are rare. However, traditional laser surgery slightly increases the risk of complications such as corneal incision cracking, inflammation and dry eyes due to mechanical cutting.
indication
Finally, we need to determine the indication of the surgical method according to the specific situation of the patient. Femtosecond laser surgery is suitable for myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism correction, while traditional laser surgery is relatively suitable for simple diopter correction. Therefore, before choosing the operation method, the patient needs to go through a detailed examination and evaluation, and the doctor will decide which operation method is more suitable for him.
Summary
To sum up, the femtosecond laser surgery and traditional laser surgery provided by Nanjing Laser Femtosecond Hospital have their indications, advantages and disadvantages. Femtosecond laser surgery is superior in many aspects, such as surgical safety, surgical effect and complications. However, for some special cases, traditional laser surgery is still a viable option. Finally, patients need to choose the most suitable surgical method according to their own conditions and the doctor's suggestions.
