Is Wuhan professional ophthalmic hospital good at treating myopia surgery?
Myopia is one of the most common visual problems in modern society. Many people hope to correct their vision and restore clear vision through ophthalmic surgery. In Wuhan, there are some professional eye hospitals that provide different surgical methods for myopia. These surgical methods will be described from four aspects, including laser surgery, lens implantation, keratoplasty and corneal circumcision.
Laser surgery
Laser surgery is one of the most commonly used methods to treat myopia. This operation uses laser technology to change the shape of the cornea, thereby improving vision. In professional ophthalmic hospitals in Wuhan, common laser operations include LASIK and PRK. LASIK involves cutting a thin flap of tissue on the cornea and then using a laser to reshape the cornea. PRK surgery removes the surface layer of the cornea directly through the laser. Both of these operations have a high success rate and safety, and can significantly improve the vision of myopic patients.
The advantages of laser surgery are fast operation and short recovery time. Most patients can feel a significant improvement in vision within a few hours after surgery. However, the disadvantage of laser surgery is that the operation cost is high, and dry eye and other complications may occur.
Lens implantation
Different from laser surgery, lens implantation is to correct myopia by implanting intraocular lens. During surgery, the doctor takes out the patient's natural lens and implants a suitable intraocular lens. This surgical method can correct myopia and presbyopia at the same time, and improve patients' near and far vision.
The advantages of lens implantation are stable operation and low risk of complications. Patients do not need additional care after surgery, and their vision recovers quickly. However, the disadvantage of lens implantation is that the operation cost is high, the operation process is complex, and the recovery time is longer.
Keratoplasty
Corneoplasty is a very suitable method for young people to treat myopia. This method changes the shape of the cornea by using special corneal shaping lenses on the surface of the cornea to improve vision. Corneal plastic surgery is usually performed at night when sleeping. After the patient wakes up, the lens is removed, and the vision will be improved.
The advantage of keratoplasty is that the operation is simple, very safe, and does not require surgical cutting or implantation. This method is applicable to those who are not suitable for laser surgery or lens implantation. However, the disadvantage of keratoplasty is that the effect is not permanent, and long-term use of keratoplasty lenses is required to maintain vision.
Circumcision of cornea
Corneal circumcision is a surgical method to treat severe myopia. During surgery, doctors will implant a ring of plastic rings in the cornea to change the shape of the cornea, thus correcting myopia. This method is suitable for patients with high myopia, which can significantly improve vision and reduce dependence on glasses or contact lenses.
The advantage of corneal circumcision is that it has a wide range of applications and can effectively treat severe myopia. However, the operation needs periodic adjustment after the operation, and there may be complications such as corneal infection.
summary
In professional ophthalmic hospitals in Wuhan, the surgical methods for myopia include laser surgery, lens implantation, keratoplasty and corneal circumcision. Laser surgery is the most commonly used method, which can quickly improve the vision of myopic patients. Lens implantation is suitable for people with myopia and presbyopia. Corneal plastic surgery is suitable for young people, but it requires long-term use of corneal plastic lenses. Circumcision is suitable for patients with severe myopia. Each surgical method has its advantages and disadvantages. Patients should make decisions based on their own conditions and doctors' suggestions.
