Introduction of New Vision Surgery in Shanghai Eye Hospital
As a well-known ophthalmic hospital in China, Shanghai Eye Hospital actively introduces advanced surgical techniques to provide patients with high-level medical services. Among them, New Vision Surgery is one of the key research projects of the hospital. The new vision surgery is a surgical method to improve myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism and other eye problems. By cutting a certain thickness of tissue in the cornea and using laser to reshape the corneal curvature, the normal visual function of the eye can be restored. However, although the new vision surgery has many advantages, it also has some risks and complications.
Risk 1: Surgical infection
Any kind of surgery has the risk of infection, and New Vision surgery is no exception. During the operation, if the sanitary conditions are not up to the standard, or the surgical instruments are contaminated with bacteria, it may lead to postoperative infection. Infection can cause vision loss, eye pain, congestion and other symptoms. In order to reduce the risk of infection, Shanghai Eye Hospital strictly implements aseptic operation, and strictly disinfects and sterilizes surgical instruments.
At the same time, patients should follow the doctor's postoperative nursing guidance, such as using antibiotic eyedrops to prevent infection. In case of postoperative infection symptoms, seek medical advice and receive treatment in time.
Risk 2: postoperative glare and dry eye
After New Vision surgery, some patients may have symptoms of glare and dry eye. Glare is caused by changes in corneal curvature after surgery, which may cause patients to feel dazzling and reflective under strong light. Dry eye syndrome is caused by the influence of the cornea on the amount of tear secretion after surgery, resulting in eye discomfort and dryness.
Shanghai Eye Hospital will conduct a detailed preoperative evaluation of patients before surgery to accurately determine the surgical indications, so as to reduce the probability of glare and dry eye. For patients with these symptoms, the doctor will provide corresponding treatment schemes, such as eyedrops and temporary avoidance of strong light.
Risk 3: Postoperative corneal scar and abnormal sensation
After the new vision surgery, a small part of patients may have corneal scar and abnormal sensation. Corneal scar is produced in the process of corneal tissue repair, which may affect the recovery of vision. Sensory abnormalities include corneal allergy, pain and foreign body sensation.
Shanghai Eye Hospital will carry out a detailed eye examination for patients before surgery to assess the surgical risk of patients. The doctor will formulate the operation plan according to the specific situation of the patient, and try to avoid corneal scar and abnormal sensation. For patients with these complications, doctors will take appropriate treatment measures, such as using eye drops to improve the corneal condition, and provide scientific nursing advice.
conclusion
To sum up, although the New Vision Surgery in Shanghai Eye Hospital is a safe and effective treatment method, it also has certain risks and complications. The common ones include surgical infection, postoperative glare and xerophthalmia, postoperative corneal scar and sensory abnormality. In order to reduce these risks, patients should fully understand the risks and benefits of surgery when choosing surgery, and carry out personalized preoperative evaluation and postoperative care according to the doctor's recommendations.
In general, New Vision surgery is a widely used ophthalmic surgery technology in Shanghai Eye Hospital. If patients follow the guidance of doctors before and after surgery, the success rate of surgery will be higher, and most patients can obtain better postoperative results and improve their quality of life.
