What are the risks of half femtosecond surgery in Wuhan Tongji Hospital?
Tongji Hospital is a famous ophthalmic hospital in Wuhan, with advanced equipment and professional medical team, providing patients with a variety of ophthalmic surgery. Among them, half femtosecond surgery, as a common myopia correction surgery, also has certain risks. This article will elaborate on the risks of half femtosecond surgery in Wuhan Tongji Hospital from four aspects: vision recovery, infection, dry eye and postoperative complications.
1、 Visual acuity recovery
Half femtosecond surgery is to change the shape of the cornea through laser technology to correct refractive errors. After surgery, the patient may have blurred vision, dry eyes and other conditions, which require a certain recovery time. This is because it takes some time to adapt to changes in the cornea during surgery, and the speed of corneal recovery varies from person to person. Some patients may need weeks or even months to fully recover their vision. During this period, they need to pay attention to eye protection and avoid irritating activities.
In addition, the effect of vision recovery after surgery is also related to individual differences. Some patients may have unsatisfactory surgical results, such as the corrected vision does not reach the expected level. This may be related to the insufficient preoperative examination and the unsatisfactory recovery of corneal morphology. Therefore, before half femtosecond surgery, patients need to fully understand the surgical effect and possible risks.
In addition, the patient's eyes may be sensitive to light for a period of time after the operation, and cannot tolerate the stimulation of strong light. This condition usually disappears with the recovery of vision, but it is recommended to wear sunglasses during recovery to reduce eye irritation.
2、 Infection
Half femtosecond surgery is a minimally invasive surgery, but there is still a risk of infection. During surgery, the laser will cut the cornea, thus exposing the inside of the cornea to the outside environment. If the operation is not standardized, or the patient's postoperative care is improper, infection may occur.
Infection is a serious complication, which may lead to keratitis, visual impairment and even blindness. In order to reduce the risk of infection, half femtosecond surgery in Tongji Hospital will strictly follow aseptic procedures, and medical staff will wear surgical gloves and masks and other protective measures. After surgery, patients need to clean and care their eyes according to the doctor's instructions, and return regularly to ensure the healing of the wound.
3、 Dry eye
After half a femtosecond surgery, the patient may have dry eye symptoms. This is due to the influence of corneal cutting and corneal lubrication during surgery. Dry eye symptoms include dry eyes, pain, blurred vision, etc., which may cause inconvenience to the patient's life.
In order to reduce the occurrence of dry eye, Tongji Hospital will evaluate the dry eye before surgery and develop a personalized surgical plan according to the patient's condition. In addition, doctors will evaluate and treat patients with dry eye symptoms after surgery to provide better postoperative care.
4、 Postoperative complications
Some complications may occur after half femtosecond surgery, such as corneal epithelial detachment, keratitis, etc. The incidence of these complications is low, and most of them can be alleviated and treated through timely treatment by doctors and reasonable care of patients.
It is worth mentioning that half femtosecond surgery is a relatively safe operation for patients, and only in special circumstances will serious complications occur. Tongji Hospital has a professional medical team and rich surgical experience, which can effectively reduce the risk of surgery, and postoperative care is also very important.
summary
To sum up, the risks of half femtosecond surgery in Wuhan Tongji Hospital mainly include vision recovery, infection, dry eyes and postoperative complications. Postoperative patients need to reasonably arrange the recovery period, pay attention to eye protection, and avoid irritating activities. At the same time, Tongji Hospital strictly followed the aseptic operation during the operation to reduce the incidence of infection. The doctor will evaluate and treat dry eye symptoms. Although there are certain risks in surgery, Tongji Hospital has a professional medical team and rich experience in surgery, which can minimize the risk of surgery.
