Nanjing Laser Femtosecond Hospital: Who is suitable for laser surgery?
With the development of modern medicine, laser femtosecond surgery is more and more widely used in ophthalmology. As a medical institution specializing in ophthalmic laser surgery, Nanjing Laser Femtosecond Hospital is widely trusted by patients. So, who is suitable for laser surgery? This article will elaborate on it from the angle of corneal diopter, age and health.
1. Corneal diopter
First of all, the people who are suitable for laser surgery should be patients with myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism and other refractive problems. These diopter problems lead to people's abnormal vision and affect their daily life and work. Femtosecond laser surgery can improve vision problems by changing the curvature of the cornea. However, not all refractive problems are suitable for laser surgery, and patients need to receive detailed examination from doctors before surgery to ensure the safety and effectiveness of surgery.
Secondly, the patient's corneal thickness is also an important factor for laser surgery. Laser femtosecond surgery requires laser to cut the thin layer of cornea. If the thickness of cornea is not enough, the surgery cannot be completed. Therefore, the evaluation of corneal thickness is also one of the inspection items that must be carried out before laser surgery.
Finally, the stability of corneal curvature is also one of the considerations of laser surgery. If the patient's corneal curvature has been changing, recurrence may occur after surgery. Therefore, the patient needs to keep the corneal curvature stable for a period of time before surgery to ensure the effect of surgery.
2. Age
The applicable age range of laser surgery is also a factor to be considered. Generally speaking, only patients over 18 years old can have laser surgery. This is because the eyeballs of adolescents under 18 years old are not yet mature, and problems such as corneal thickness and astigmatism may be corrected naturally with age. Therefore, young patients need to wait for the development of eyeballs to a certain extent before accepting laser surgery.
In addition, age is also related to corneal aging. With the growth of age, the cornea will gradually become thinner and harder, which will affect the effect of surgery. Therefore, for older patients, doctors will conduct a more comprehensive assessment before surgery to ensure the safety and effectiveness of surgery.
3. Good health
Laser surgery also has certain requirements for patients' health. On the one hand, patients should not suffer from some serious eye diseases, such as keratitis, glaucoma, etc. These eye diseases will increase the risk of surgery and may lead to surgery failure. Therefore, patients need a comprehensive eye examination before surgery to exclude the existence of eye diseases.
On the other hand, the patient's physical health also needs to be good. Some chronic diseases, such as diabetes and hypertension, may affect the effect of surgery and recovery. The patient needs to inform the doctor of his/her physical condition before surgery, so that the doctor can make a reasonable preoperative assessment.
4. Personal expectations and risk acceptance
Finally, the patient's personal expectation and risk acceptance ability are also important factors for the suitability of laser surgery. Laser surgery is a safe and effective operation, but there are still some risks, such as surgical failure, dry eye, photosensitivity, etc. Therefore, patients need to fully understand the possible risks and complications of surgery, and decide whether to perform surgery according to their expectations and risk acceptance ability.
summary
Nanjing Laser Femtosecond Hospital is an ophthalmic hospital specializing in laser surgery. It has certain requirements for people who are suitable for laser surgery. First, the patient should have diopter problems and undergo corneal thickness and stability tests. Secondly, the age of the patient should be over 18 years old, and corneal aging should be evaluated. In addition, physical health is also a necessary condition. Patients cannot suffer from serious eye diseases and need to inform doctors about other chronic diseases. Finally, personal expectations and risk acceptance ability also need to be considered. By comprehensively evaluating these factors, doctors can determine whether patients are suitable for femtosecond laser surgery.
