Risk and complications of myopia surgery

Eye hospitals are specialized institutions for the treatment of eye diseases, among which the tertiary hospitals are generally more advanced in technology and equipment, and are trusted by patients. In Wuhan, there are many Grade III A eye hospitals that provide myopia surgery services, but any surgery has certain risks and complications, and patients need to fully understand these problems before undergoing surgery.

Preoperative evaluation and surgical risk

Before myopic surgery, a detailed preoperative evaluation is required. The doctor will determine whether it is suitable for surgery according to the patient's eye condition and physical condition. Although the risk of modern myopia surgery has been greatly reduced through scientific and technological progress, there will always be some risks.

First, infection may occur during surgery. The surgical wound needs to be sterilized and kept sterile, but there is still a chance of infection. Patients need to pay attention to keeping the wound clean to avoid infection.

Secondly, eyeball injury may occur during the operation. During the operation, doctors need to cut or laser correct the patient's cornea, which may cause eye tissue damage and vision problems.

Finally, unstable vision may occur after surgery. Some patients may have vision fluctuation after surgery, which needs further adjustment and treatment to stabilize vision.

Complications and management methods

Although the complications of myopia surgery are relatively few, some problems may still occur after surgery.

A common complication is dry eye. Cutting or correcting the cornea during surgery may affect the secretion and distribution of tears, resulting in dry eyes, pain and other discomfort. Patients can relieve symptoms by using auxiliary treatment measures such as artificial tears.

Another possible complication is subcorneal hydrops. After surgery, corneal tissue may become edema, leading to blurred vision. Doctors can reduce edema and promote recovery by giving hormone eye drops, etc.

In addition, a few patients may have visual quality problems, such as halo, image deformation, etc. This kind of problem may be related to the change of corneal shape or the overcorrection of eyeball degree after surgery. For these problems, doctors can further treat or adjust them according to the specific situation.

Notes and summary after operation

After surgery, patients need to follow the doctor's instructions and pay attention to the following aspects:

First, patients need to avoid rubbing their eyes to prevent infection and eye damage.

Secondly, patients need to pay attention to eye hygiene, avoid irritating environment and excessive eye force, so as to reduce the occurrence of dry eye.

Finally, patients need to come back on time for eye examination, and vision recovery training according to the doctor's recommendations.

In general, although there are certain risks and complications in the myopic surgery in Wuhan Third Class A Hospital, the risks can be controlled at a low level with the fine operation of doctors and the cooperation of patients. Through preoperative evaluation and postoperative precautions, patients can effectively reduce the occurrence of complications and obtain satisfactory visual correction results.
