Wuhan Tongji Hospital femtosecond laser surgery for myopia?

With the popularization of modern lifestyle, myopia has become a global health problem. Although glasses and contact lenses can effectively correct myopia, they cannot eliminate the root cause of myopia. In order to solve the problem of myopia, Wuhan Tongji Hospital provides a treatment called "femtosecond laser surgery". The following is a detailed introduction to this technology from the scope of application, surgical process, postoperative recovery and risks.

Applicable range of degree

Femtosecond laser surgery is a method of correcting myopia by excimer laser. According to the experience of Wuhan Tongji Hospital, femtosecond laser surgery is applicable to myopia patients with degrees between -1.00 and -10.00. For those patients who exceed this degree range, doctors usually recommend other suitable treatment methods, such as lens implantation.

Before surgery, the doctor will check the patient's eyes, measure the degree and assess the health of the eyes. Femtosecond laser surgery will only be performed if the patient meets the surgical conditions.

Operation process

Femtosecond laser surgery is a very precise and short procedure. During surgery, doctors will use an excimer laser to cut the thin layer of the corneal surface, and then use the laser beam to etch the corneal tissue to change its curvature, thus correcting myopia.

The whole operation process usually takes only a few minutes, and patients will receive appropriate local anesthesia during the operation to alleviate any discomfort. After surgery, patients can usually immediately feel the effect of visual changes.

Postoperative recovery

Femtosecond laser surgery is a daytime surgery, and patients can go home to rest after the surgery. However, postoperative recovery is also a stage that needs patients' attention.

On the first day after surgery, patients usually feel dry and painful eyes, which is a normal physical reaction. Doctors usually give eyedrops and antibiotic ointment to alleviate these discomfort. In a few days or weeks after surgery, patients need to follow the doctor's advice to avoid eye collision and intense exercise to ensure rapid corneal healing.

risk

Femtosecond laser surgery is a relatively safe method, but there are still some potential risks. Possible complications include corneal infection, corneal scar and postoperative xerophthalmia. However, the doctors who performed this operation in Wuhan Tongji Hospital were experienced and evaluated the patients' surgical adaptability through strict pre examination, thus minimizing the occurrence of these risks.

Summary

The femtosecond laser surgery in Wuhan Tongji Hospital is applicable to myopia patients whose degrees are between -1.00 and -10.00. Through this operation, the patient can achieve myopia correction in a few minutes and quickly return to normal life. The recovery period after surgery requires patients to follow the doctor's recommendations to promote corneal healing. Although there are some potential risks in the operation, the professional doctors of Wuhan Tongji Hospital minimized these risks by carefully evaluating the adaptability of patients.
