Who is suitable for LASIK?
With the accelerated pace of modern life, more and more people begin to pay attention to eye health. As a hospital focusing on ophthalmology, Wuhan Almash Eye Hospital has advanced equipment and professional medical team to provide comprehensive ophthalmic services. Among them, LASIK surgery is a popular technology in the hospital, which is applicable to a variety of eye problems. Now let's have a detailed understanding of who is suitable for LASIK.
Myopic patient
Myopia is one of the common eye problems in modern society. For myopic patients, glasses or contact lenses are an effective correction method, but there are also some inconveniences. LASIK can change the curvature of the cornea through laser technology, so as to achieve the effect of correcting myopia. LASIK is a fast, safe and effective correction method for patients with stable myopia within a certain range.
However, it is worth noting that LASIK may not be suitable for patients with myopia above a certain range. Therefore, before surgery, the doctor will conduct a detailed eye examination to assess whether the patient is suitable for LASIK surgery.
Hyperopia
In addition to myopia, some hyperopia patients can also improve their vision through LASIK. Hyperopia is another common eye problem, characterized by a high degree of hyperopia and blurred near objects. Like myopic patients, hyperopia patients can also change the corneal curvature and correct the degree of hyperopia through laser technology. Through LASIK, hyperopia patients can obtain clear near vision and improve the quality of life.
Of course, like myopic patients, hyperopia patients also need to undergo detailed eye examinations to ensure the safety and effectiveness of surgery.
Patients with corneal problems
In addition to vision problems, some people with corneal problems can also consider LASIK surgery. For example, some people have uneven corneal thickness, which leads to poor vision. Through LASIK surgery, doctors can remove irregular corneal parts through laser technology to improve vision. In addition, some people with corneal diseases can also be relieved by LASIK surgery, such as keratitis, corneal pterygium, etc.
For such patients, because the corneal problems are more complex, the doctor will make a comprehensive assessment according to the specific situation and give the most appropriate treatment plan.
Age limits and other considerations
In addition to the patient's eye problems, age is also an important consideration for LASIK surgery. In general, LASIK surgery is applicable to people over 18 years old and under 40 years old. Because the eyeball is still in the process of growth and development before the age of 18, the effect of surgery may be unstable. After the age of 40, due to presbyopia, other eye problems may need to be considered.
In addition, female patients during pregnancy and lactation are not suitable for LASIK. Because laser surgery may have adverse effects on embryos or infants.
Summary
In a word, Wuhan Amash Eye Hospital has provided an effective solution of LASIK surgery for patients with various eye problems through advanced equipment and professional medical team. LASIK is a fast, safe and effective method for myopia, hyperopia and some people with corneal problems. However, the suitable population for surgery needs to be comprehensively evaluated by doctors to ensure the safety and effectiveness of surgery.
If you have been worried about the inconvenience of glasses or contact lenses before, you might consider LASIK surgery. After detailed consultation and examination with the doctor, you will be able to come up with the most suitable treatment plan for yourself.
