Risk of myopic surgery in Wuhan Tongji Hospital
With the acceleration of the pace of modern life and the popularity of electronic products, myopia is becoming increasingly serious. As a professional ophthalmic hospital, Wuhan Tongji Hospital provides myopia surgery services to help patients get rid of their dependence on glasses or contact lenses. However, any operation is accompanied by certain risks. The risks of myopia surgery in Wuhan Tongji Hospital will be described in detail from four aspects: preoperative evaluation, surgical process, postoperative complications and long-term effects.
1. Risk assessment before operation
Before myopic surgery, Wuhan Tongji Hospital will conduct a detailed preoperative evaluation of patients to determine the indications of surgery and the surgical risks of patients. The following risks exist in this stage:
First, there may be preoperative errors. The preoperative evaluation involves the collection and analysis of the patient's ophthalmic history, eye structure, diopter and other information. If the evaluation is wrong or the information is inaccurate, it may lead to errors in the preparation of the surgical plan.
Second, preoperative assessment may miss the diagnosis of potential diseases or risk factors. If the patient has other eye diseases or physical conditions but is not detected and evaluated in time, surgery may bring additional risks.
Third, individual differences in patients lead to risk of outcomes. Everyone's eye conditions and physiological characteristics are different, and preoperative evaluation may not accurately predict the surgical effect, so there is some uncertainty in the surgical results.
2. Risk during operation
The myopic surgery adopted by Wuhan Tongji Hospital includes laser surgery and lens implantation. The following risks exist during the surgery:
First, the operation was wrong. Even though doctors have rich experience, technical operation errors may still occur during the operation, such as problems in a certain link of the operation procedure, which may affect the effectiveness and safety of the operation.
Second, the patient does not cooperate with the operation. Some patients may not cooperate due to fear or nervousness during the operation, which may increase the difficulty and risk of the operation.
Third, surgical infection. There is a risk of infection during the operation. Although the hospital has strict operating specifications and aseptic measures, the possibility of infection cannot be completely eliminated.
3. Risk of postoperative complications
After myopic surgery, patients may have some postoperative complications, including:
First, abnormal feeling. After surgery, there may be dry, hot, foreign body feeling and other uncomfortable symptoms, most of which can be relieved by eye drops, but a few patients may need further treatment.
Second, the vision is declining. During the recovery period after surgery, the patient's vision may temporarily decline, and the speed of recovery may vary depending on individual differences.
Third, the intraocular pressure increases. A few patients may have elevated intraocular pressure, which needs timely treatment to avoid eye tissue damage.
4. Long term effect risk
The long-term effect of myopia surgery has the following risks:
First, relapse. Myopia after surgery may recur within a certain period of time and need to be treated again.
Second, not all patients can achieve the desired vision effect. Each person's eye characteristics are different, and the surgical effect varies from person to person. Some patients may not achieve the desired vision repair effect.
Third, long-term complications. At present, the understanding of long-term complications of myopia surgery is limited, so patients may face certain long-term safety risks after surgery.
Summary
The risks of myopia surgery in Wuhan Tongji Hospital were elaborated from the aspects of preoperative evaluation, surgical process, postoperative complications and long-term effects. Before making a decision, patients should fully understand these risks, and fully communicate and discuss with doctors in order to make a wise decision.
