Common complications of all femtosecond surgery in Wuhan Union Medical College Hospital

Wuhan Union Medical College Hospital, as a well-known ophthalmic hospital, provides full femtosecond laser surgery to improve refractive errors. Although this is a safe and effective operation, complications may occur in very few cases. This article will discuss four common complications in detail to help patients better understand and make decisions.

keratitis

Keratitis is a common complication of all femtosecond surgery. Keratitis is caused by corneal infection after surgery, which may lead to eye pain, redness, swelling and blurred vision. Appropriate antibiotic eyedrops and anti-inflammatory drugs after surgery can help prevent and treat keratitis. However, if patients ignore or abuse eyedrops, or do not follow the doctor's recommendations, the risk of keratitis will increase.

In order to prevent the occurrence of keratitis, Wuhan Union Medical College Hospital will carry out adequate eye examination before surgery to ensure that the patient has no infectious disease. In addition, the hospital will also provide detailed postoperative nursing guidance to ensure that patients correctly use antibiotic eyedrops and anti-inflammatory drugs.

xerophthalmia

Another common complication of all femtosecond surgery is dry eye. Dry eye disease refers to a disease in which the eyes cannot produce enough tears, resulting in dryness, pain and decreased vision. After surgery, some patients may suffer from dry eye symptoms. Although most of these symptoms are temporary, they may last for a long time in a few cases.

In order to reduce the risk of dry eye, Wuhan Union Medical College Hospital will conduct a comprehensive assessment of dry eye before surgery. If the patient has dry eye or other eye inflammation, the hospital may recommend that the patient not accept full femtosecond surgery temporarily. In addition, the doctor will give the patient appropriate eye lotion and moisturizing agent to help alleviate the symptoms of dry eye.

Poor vision recovery

Although full femtosecond surgery can significantly improve vision in most cases, there are still a few individuals who may have unsatisfactory results. Some patients may find that the postoperative vision does not reach the expected level, or the postoperative vision fluctuates. This may be related to the individual differences of the eye structure during the operation or the errors during the operation.

In order to improve the surgical effect, Wuhan Union Medical College Hospital will carefully evaluate the patient's eye condition before surgery to ensure that the patient meets the surgical conditions. In addition, advanced laser technology is used during the operation to improve the accuracy and predictability of the operation. After surgery, patients need to follow the doctor's guidance for regular follow-up visits and eye care to promote vision recovery.

Summary

The full femtosecond surgery provided by Wuhan Union Medical College Hospital is a safe and effective refractive surgery. Although there are some common complications, such as keratitis, dry eye and poor vision recovery, the incidence of these complications is low. Through adequate preoperative evaluation and postoperative nursing guidance, the hospital is committed to reducing the risk of complications and ensuring that patients obtain good surgical results. When patients decide to accept full femtosecond surgery, they should fully understand the risks and effects under the guidance of doctors and make wise choices.
