Is there any limit on the degree of hyperopia treated by femtosecond technology in Wuhan Tongji Hospital?

With the increase of life pressure and the increase of close eye use time, myopia has become one of the common eye health problems for modern people. There are many ways to treat myopia, among which femtosecond technology is widely used in the medical industry. So, is there any limit on the degree of hyperopia treated by femtosecond technology in Wuhan Tongji Hospital? Next, we will elaborate from four aspects: surgical indications, surgical effects, surgical risks and postoperative care.

1. Operation indications

Femtosecond laser surgery is suitable for adults between 16 and 50 years old, who have healthy eyes and good corneas. Femtosecond laser surgery is applicable to hyperopia patients whose degrees are between 200-800 degrees. At the same time, it is required by lifelong GMP and has no corneal diseases or other ocular surface diseases.

For patients with thin cornea and hesitation, preoperative examination and evaluation can be used to determine whether the surgery is suitable. Preoperative examination included slit lamp microscopy, corneal topography, corneal endothelial cell count and wavefront phase contrast examination.

In general, clinical ophthalmologists will judge whether it is appropriate to use femtosecond technology for hyperopia correction surgery according to the specific conditions of each patient.

2. Operation effect

Femtosecond technology can accurately adjust the curvature of corneal refractive power and artificially improve corneal myopia. After surgery, the hyperopia of most patients was significantly reduced, and even myopia was completely corrected. Patients with hyperopia after surgery can usually see objects at a long distance without wearing glasses or contact lenses.

However, the effect of surgery may vary from individual to individual. Some patients may need multiple operations or auxiliary methods to correct their vision to achieve satisfactory results. Therefore, before deciding on surgery, the patient should fully communicate with the ophthalmologist and understand the surgical effect and weigh the advantages and disadvantages.

3. Operation risk

Femtosecond technology is generally safe and effective in treating hyperopia. However, like any surgery, femtosecond surgery also has some potential risks. The operation risks include slow vision recovery, vision loss, corneal scar, infection, etc. However, these risks are relatively low, and they can often be found and treated in time during postoperative nursing and follow-up.

4. Postoperative care

After the operation, the patient needs to be nursed in the recovery period according to the doctor's advice. Generally speaking, care includes eye massage, use of antibiotic eye drops, avoiding strenuous exercise and touching the eyes. Eye massage should be carried out within one week after the operation to help speed up the recovery of the eyes. Postoperative visual re examination is also an essential link, so that doctors can evaluate the surgical effect in a timely manner.

Summary

Wuhan Tongji Hospital uses femtosecond technology to treat hyperopia, which has certain limits. It is mainly applicable to adults aged 16-50 years old, with healthy eyes and good corneas, and is within the range of 200-800 degrees. The operation effect varies with individual differences, and the operation risk is relatively low, but it still needs to be carefully selected. Postoperative nursing and follow-up are also important links to ensure the effect of surgery. Before deciding on surgery, patients are advised to consult and evaluate with professional ophthalmologists in detail.
