Wuhan Laser Orthopaedic Eye Hospital: What examinations need to be done before laser orthopaedic eye surgery?
Laser correction ophthalmic surgery is an effective method to treat myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism and other ophthalmic problems. However, before laser correction surgery, doctors need to carry out a series of examinations to ensure that the patient's eye condition is suitable for surgery. As a professional ophthalmic hospital, Wuhan Laser Orthopaedic Eye Hospital conducts the following examinations before laser ophthalmic surgery:
Corneal topography
Corneal topography is an important method to evaluate the parameters of corneal curvature, thickness and shape. Through corneal topography, doctors can check the cornea for any abnormalities, such as corneal thinning, corneal irregularity, etc. This examination can help doctors determine whether it is suitable for laser correction surgery, and select the surgical method suitable for patients.
In addition, corneal topography can also detect whether there are problems such as decreased elasticity and irregular shape of the cornea due to thinning of the cornea, which may have a negative impact on the surgical effect. Therefore, this examination is of great significance to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the operation.
Intraocular pressure test
The intraocular pressure test is one of the routine tests to assess the health of the eye. Before laser correction ophthalmic surgery, intraocular pressure test can help doctors to determine whether there are eye diseases such as glaucoma and its impact on surgery. High intraocular pressure may increase the risk of surgery, so it must be fully evaluated before surgery.
The main methods of intraocular pressure examination are non-contact manometer and the use of certain drugs to measure intraocular pressure. These examination methods are non-invasive and accurate, and can provide important information about the health of the eye, so as to help doctors decide whether it is suitable for laser correction surgery.
Tear analysis
Tear analysis is an important method to evaluate the health of eye surface. Before laser ophthalmic surgery, doctors often analyze the tears of patients to determine whether there are dry eyes and other problems. Dry eye may have a negative impact on the effect of surgery, so early diagnosis and treatment are needed.
Tear analysis includes evaluation of tear quality, volume and stability. These indexes can reflect the tear film stability and lubrication ability of patients, and provide important basis for the safety and effect of surgery. In case of dry eye and other problems, the doctor may recommend corresponding treatment before the operation to improve the success rate of the operation.
Corneal thickness test
Corneal thickness examination is one of the basic examinations before laser correction ophthalmic surgery. The thickness of cornea is very important for the safety of laser surgery. The doctor needs to ensure that the cornea is thick enough to ensure that the cornea will not be damaged during the operation.
By measuring the corneal thickness, doctors can judge whether it is suitable for LASIK and other corneal correction operations, and select the appropriate operation methods and parameters. If the corneal thickness is not enough, the doctor may recommend other treatments or surgical methods. Therefore, corneal thickness examination is an important link to ensure the safety and effectiveness of surgery.
Summary
Before the laser surgery in Wuhan Laser Orthopaedic Eye Hospital, doctors will carry out a series of examinations to evaluate the patient's eye condition and determine whether it is suitable for surgery. These examinations included corneal topography, intraocular pressure, tear analysis, and corneal thickness.
These examinations can help doctors evaluate the shape and thickness of cornea, eye health, tear quality and stability and other important parameters, and provide important basis for the safety and effect of surgery. If you find any eye problems, your doctor may recommend other treatments or operations.
Therefore, the examination before the laser correction ophthalmic surgery is an important step to ensure the success of the surgery. The patient should actively cooperate with the doctor's examination and evaluation before accepting the surgery to ensure the safety and effect of the surgery.
