Femtosecond: a new technique for myopia treatment
With the fast pace of modern life and the popularity of intelligent devices, the number of myopia patients is increasing. In order to solve this problem, the Ophthalmology Department of Wuhan People's Hospital introduced a new medical technology called femtosecond. This article will elaborate the characteristics of femtosecond technology and its application in the treatment of myopia from four aspects.
Principle of femtosecond technology
Femtosecond technology, also known as laser keratomileusis (LASEK), is a combination of laser delamination and laser keratomileusis for myopia treatment. Compared with traditional laser myopia surgery, femtosecond technology does not need to use a blade during surgery, so it is more safe and reliable. During surgery, the laser will peel off a layer of cells on the corneal surface, and then use the laser to correct myopia.
Femtosecond technology is widely used in the field of ophthalmology because of its high operational accuracy, fast recovery and little pain. Femtosecond technology is applicable to myopia correction at different levels, and can be customized according to the specific conditions of patients during operation.
Advantages of femtosecond technology
Femtosecond technology has obvious advantages over traditional laser myopia surgery. First of all, the blade is not needed during the operation, which reduces the surgical trauma and reduces the risk of infection. Secondly, due to the precise operation of the laser, it can be customized according to the patient's corneal morphology, providing more accurate myopia correction effect. In addition, the treatment process of femtosecond technology is relatively short, and the postoperative recovery is fast. The patient can quickly resume normal life and work.
Femtosecond technology is also applicable to the treatment of other ophthalmic diseases, such as keratopathy, auxiliary surgery of corneal transplantation, etc. Compared with traditional methods, femtosecond technology has a wider application range and better effect.
Application of femtosecond technology
The application of femtosecond technology in the ophthalmology department of Wuhan People's Hospital has achieved remarkable results. The hospital introduced advanced and skilled laser equipment for femtosecond surgery. The operation of femtosecond surgery is carried out by experienced experts to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the surgery.
The Ophthalmology Department of Wuhan People's Hospital conducts a comprehensive preoperative examination for the patient, and formulates a personalized operation plan according to the patient's corneal curvature, vision and other indicators. After femtosecond surgery, the hospital will provide detailed postoperative nursing guidance and conduct regular review to ensure the postoperative effect and stable vision of patients.
Summary
As a new technology for myopia treatment, femtosecond technology has been successfully applied in the ophthalmology department of Wuhan People's Hospital. The principle is to peel off the cells on the corneal surface through the laser, and then conduct personalized correction. Compared with traditional surgery, femtosecond technology has the advantages of less trauma, safety, reliability, and rapid recovery, and is widely used in myopia correction at different levels. Femtosecond technology has been widely used in the ophthalmology department of Wuhan People's Hospital, and has achieved remarkable results.
For myopic patients, femtosecond technology is undoubtedly an attractive treatment option. Before using this new technology, patients should go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination, fully communicate with doctors, and understand the specific process and precautions of the operation. Through the application of femtosecond technology, myopic patients can regain good vision and improve the quality of life.
