Adverse reactions of femtosecond surgery in Wuhan Third Hospital
Femtosecond laser surgery is a common myopia correction surgery, which is favored by the majority of myopia patients. As a well-known hospital in Wuhan, Wuhan Third Hospital provides femtosecond surgery services. However, although femtosecond surgery has many advantages in myopia correction, such as high efficiency, safety and rapid recovery, there are still some adverse reactions that need the attention of patients and doctors. The following will elaborate on the adverse reactions of femtosecond surgery in Wuhan Third Hospital from four aspects: corneal dryness, vision fluctuation, instant side effects and postoperative complications.
Corneal xerosis
During femtosecond surgery, laser action on the cornea will cause changes in the surface tissue of the cornea. This change may lead to the adverse reaction of corneal dryness after surgery, which may lead to eye discomfort, dry eye symptoms, blurred vision and other problems. For patients, artificial tear drops should be used regularly to keep the eyes moist, and postoperative care should be carried out according to the doctor's recommendations.
In addition, the cornea after femtosecond surgery needs time to recover and repair, and may become dry during the recovery process. Therefore, during the recovery period after surgery, patients should pay attention to avoiding dry and irritating environments, such as wind sand, smoke and dust, to protect the cornea and prevent dry discomfort.
Visual fluctuation
After femtosecond surgery, some patients may experience adverse effects of vision fluctuations. This is due to the adjustment and repair of corneal tissue during surgery, as well as individual differences of patients. Generally speaking, the vision of patients will gradually recover after surgery, but there will be fluctuations during recovery. Some patients may feel unstable vision or appear momentary blur. This is a normal physiological change. Patients need not worry too much, but they should also report to the doctor in time and return to the doctor.
Instant side reaction
Femtosecond surgery is a knife free, painless, non-contact myopia correction technology, but it may still be accompanied by some transient side effects. These side effects include temporary eye tingling, foreign body sensation, and increased tears in the eyes. These transient side effects usually do not last for long. They usually relieve themselves within a few hours, and will not cause long-term impact on vision and eye health.
For patients with side effects, under the guidance of the doctor, the discomfort can be alleviated by closing the eyes and resting, gently massaging the eyes or applying the eye drops recommended by the doctor. However, if these side effects last too long or the symptoms worsen, the patient should seek further diagnosis and treatment in a timely manner.
Postoperative complications
Any operation has potential risk of complications, and femtosecond operation is no exception. Although femtosecond surgery is considered to be a low-risk operation with a low incidence of complications, infection, corneal ulcer, irregular arc length or refractive instability may still occur. These complications need to be fully communicated with professional doctors before surgery to understand the risks and current eye conditions, so as to make wise decisions.
Although the femtosecond surgery in Wuhan Third Hospital has certain advancement and reliability in ophthalmic correction technology, patients should fully understand the relevant risks and possible adverse reactions before considering the surgery, and have a detailed discussion and evaluation with doctors. Only after careful consideration and professional guidance can we choose the appropriate surgical plan to ensure the postoperative effect and safety.
Summary
As a common myopia correction surgery, femtosecond surgery in Wuhan Third Hospital has the advantages of high efficiency, safety and rapid recovery, but there are still some adverse reactions that need attention. Before surgery, patients should fully understand the possible corneal dryness, vision fluctuation, instant side effects and postoperative complications, and fully communicate and evaluate with doctors. Only with full knowledge and professional guidance can patients obtain satisfactory surgical results and ensure safety.
