Risk and complications of Wuhan all femtosecond laser surgery hospital
Laser surgery is a common ophthalmic surgery, which can effectively correct vision problems and improve the quality of life of patients. However, as a professional ophthalmic hospital, Wuhan All Femtosecond Laser Surgery Hospital is technologically advanced, but there are still some risks and complications. It will be elaborated from four aspects below.
1. Risk of infection
In the process of laser surgery, if the sanitary conditions do not meet the standards or the surgical instruments are not effectively disinfected, patients may face the risk of infection. If the surgical knife contacts the patient's eyes during the operation, if it is not thoroughly cleaned and disinfected, bacteria will easily breed and infect the incision, leading to eye inflammation and other complications. Therefore, Wuhan All Femtosecond Laser Surgery Hospital should strictly implement the operating room cleaning process to ensure the cleanliness of instruments, operating tables and operating rooms to reduce the risk of infection.
In addition, patients also need to keep the incision clean after surgery to avoid friction and contamination of the incision, so as to reduce the risk of infection. If there are abnormal symptoms such as fever, eye redness and swelling, and vision loss, seek medical advice and receive treatment in a timely manner.
2. Lagging vision recovery
Although laser surgery can quickly correct vision problems, some patients may have delayed vision recovery. Due to individual differences of patients, surgical techniques and other factors, some people may need a long time to achieve ideal vision after surgery. During the recovery period after surgery, patients need to pay close attention to their vision changes. If there is any abnormality, they should communicate with the doctor in time to receive further tracking and treatment.
In addition, postoperative patients need to follow the doctor's medication and nursing recommendations, such as using eyedrops, avoiding exposure to strong light, etc., to promote the recovery of vision and reduce complications.
3. Dry eye and photosensitivity
Laser surgery may cause postoperative xerophthalmia and photosensitivity problems. Since the corneal tissue cut during the operation may affect the secretion and distribution of tears, patients may experience discomfort such as dryness, itching and burning of the eyes after the operation. In addition, the sensitivity of the cornea may increase, resulting in patients being more sensitive to light.
In order to reduce the occurrence of dry eye disease and photosensitivity problems, Wuhan All Femtosecond Laser Surgery Hospital should conduct a comprehensive evaluation before surgery to exclude whether patients have dry eye disease and other eye diseases. After surgery, patients need to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment and nursing measures, such as regular eye drops, avoiding long-term eye use, etc.
4. Corneal problems
Corneal problems may occur during or after laser surgery. Corneal tissue will be damaged by laser irradiation during surgery, and complications such as keratitis and corneal edema may occur after surgery. In addition, patients should pay attention to avoid eye collision and friction after surgery to prevent corneal displacement or incision splitting.
In order to reduce the risk of corneal problems, Wuhan All Femtosecond Laser Surgery Hospital should conduct systematic training and assessment for doctors to ensure the accuracy and safety of surgical operations. After surgery, patients should follow the doctor's instructions, limit the use of eyes, pay attention to rest and protect the eyes, and reduce the occurrence of corneal problems.
Summary
As a professional ophthalmic hospital, Wuhan All Femtosecond Laser Surgery Hospital, despite its advanced technology, still has some risks and complications. These risks include infection, delayed vision recovery, dry eye and photosensitivity problems, and corneal problems. In order to reduce these risks, hospitals need to strictly implement the operating room cleaning process to ensure the cleanliness of instruments, operating tables and operating rooms; At the same time, doctors and patients should also actively cooperate with treatment and nursing measures to promote postoperative recovery.
