What myopic surgery methods does Wuhan People's Hospital provide?
Wuhan People's Hospital is a large comprehensive hospital located in Wuhan, Hubei Province, which provides a variety of myopia surgery methods to meet the different needs of patients. The following will introduce the myopia surgery methods provided by the hospital from corneal refractive surgery, lens implantation, corneal ring, etc.
1、 Corneal refractive surgery
1. Laser keratomileusis (LASIK)
This is a common and mature corneal refractive surgery method. During surgery, doctors use laser to thin the central part of the cornea, then turn up the thin corneal tissue, and then use laser to re grind the central part of the cornea to form a new corneal shape. This method is safe and effective, and recovers quickly. It has a significant effect on myopia correction of the adaptation.
2. Surface laser ablation (PRK/LASEK)
PRK and LASEK are two similar surface laser surgery methods. These two methods are directly ablated on the corneal surface by laser to change the corneal diopter, so as to achieve the purpose of correcting myopia. PRK and LASEK are suitable for patients with thin cornea, low myopia or unsuitable for LASIK.
3. Trabeculectomy (SMILE)
SMILE is a new method of all laser corneal refractive surgery. During the operation, doctors use lasers to make tiny incisions in the cornea, and then suck out the internal tissue of the cornea through the incision to change the shape of the cornea to correct myopia. This method has the advantages of quick recovery after operation and less trauma during operation.
2、 Lens implantation
1. Intraocular lens implantation
Intraocular lens implantation is the surgical implantation of intraocular lenses into the eyes of patients to correct myopia. This operation is an effective and reversible method, but requires a surgical incision, and the recovery time is relatively long.
2. Adjustable intraocular lens implantation
The adjustable intraocular lens implantation is based on the intraocular lens implantation, and the adjustable focal length intraocular lens is added. The patient can adjust the focusing effect of the eyes on different distances by letting the doctor adjust the focal length of the lens after the operation, so as to achieve the correction of far, middle and near distance.
3. Stent implantation
Stent implantation is a surgical method suitable for patients with high myopia. During surgery, doctors will implant stents in the eyes of patients to increase the distance between the intraocular lens and the retina, so as to correct myopia.
3、 Corneal ring
1. Implantation of inner corneal loop (ICL)
ICL is a method of implanting adjustable lens into the cornea of patients through surgery. This method is suitable for patients with high myopia or thin cornea who are not suitable for corneal refractive surgery.
2. Correction of corneal growth ring (CRT)
CRT is a method of implanting a special hard plastic ring on the cornea. These rings will change the shape of the cornea, thus correcting myopia. CRT is suitable for children and adolescents with myopia, and has relatively little impact on the cornea.
3. Adjustable corneal loop (CK) correction
CK is a kind of high frequency electric energy that generates heat energy in the limbus of the cornea to make the limbus tissue shrink, thereby changing the shape of the cornea to achieve the purpose of correcting myopia. This method is suitable for non high myopia patients.
4、 Summary
Wuhan People's Hospital provides a variety of myopia surgery methods, including corneal refractive surgery, lens implantation, corneal ring, etc. In corneal refractive surgery, laser keratomileusis, surface laser ablation and trabeculectomy are common methods. Lens implantation includes intraocular lens implantation, adjustable intraocular lens implantation and stent implantation. The types of corneal rings include implantation of inner corneal ring and correction of corneal growth ring. Patients can choose appropriate surgical methods according to their own conditions and doctors' suggestions to improve myopia.
