Advantages of all femtosecond laser surgery in Wuhan Union Medical College Hospital
Wuhan Union Medical College Hospital, as one of the top general hospitals in China, has introduced the full femtosecond laser surgery technology and made remarkable achievements in this field. As a high-end technology of corneal refractive surgery, full femtosecond laser surgery has many advantages. This article will elaborate the advantages of all femtosecond laser surgery in Wuhan Union Medical College Hospital from the aspects of surgical effect, recovery period, surgical process and low risk.
Advantages of surgical effect
First, full femtosecond laser surgery has excellent results in correcting myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. The laser can accurately change the corneal curvature, so that the light can be accurately adjusted in the process of entering and focusing the eyes, so as to achieve the purpose of correcting vision defects. Full femtosecond laser surgery can be accurate to the micron level, and can also achieve satisfactory results for patients with higher requirements for complex degrees and correction effects.
Secondly, full femtosecond laser surgery has the advantages of high personalization and adaptation to different eye features. This technique can accurately perform preoperative analysis and intraoperative adjustment according to the characteristics and condition of the patient's eyeball. This personalized treatment can maximize the safety and effect of surgery.
In addition, full femtosecond laser surgery also has fast, accurate and stable correction effect. During the operation, the laser corrects the cornea with high accuracy and implants corneal lenses suitable for the patient, so that the patient can recover good vision in a short time after the operation.
Recovery advantages
Full femtosecond laser surgery has a shorter recovery period than traditional surgery. After receiving full femtosecond laser surgery, patients can usually return to normal life and work in a few days. The cutting blade is not used during the operation, so the discomfort and activity restriction of patients in the recovery period after the operation are small.
In addition, problems such as dry eyes and insufficient tear secretion are rare after full femtosecond laser surgery. Since this technology will not damage the corneal nerve endings, the patients' eyes will be wetter after surgery, and their symptoms will be mild or disappear.
In addition, the correction effect of full femtosecond laser surgery is stable. After surgery, the visual defect will not deteriorate again, and the patient does not need to replace glasses or contact lenses frequently. This has significantly improved the quality of life of patients.
Operation process advantages
In the process of full femtosecond laser surgery, it is unnecessary to touch the cornea due to the use of laser for corneal ablation, thus reducing the risk of cross infection of infectious diseases. This is very important for surgeons and patients, especially when the world is trying to cope with the spread of COVID-19.
In addition, there is no need to use a scalpel during full femtosecond laser surgery, which reduces the risk of cutting and trauma during surgery. The scalpel may cause complications such as irregular knife edge and inability to close, and full femtosecond laser surgery can avoid these problems.
Full femtosecond laser surgery also has the advantage of real-time monitoring during surgery. During surgery, doctors can monitor the patient's eye breathing and eye position in real time through laser equipment, and make real-time adjustments according to the monitoring results. This real-time monitoring technology effectively improves the safety and success rate of surgery.
Low risk advantage
All femtosecond laser surgery requires less corneal exfoliation, reducing the risk of complications such as postoperative deflection and optical property changes. During the operation, the laser only cuts the surface of the cornea and does not involve deep tissue, so the corneal stability is higher and the risk is lower after the operation.
In addition, because full femtosecond laser surgery does not involve the use of scalpel and corneal peeling, the operation time is short, the trauma is small, and the risk of postoperative infection and keratitis is low. This makes the patient more comfortable and secure to accept the operation.
To sum up, full femtosecond laser surgery in Wuhan Union Medical College Hospital has become an important choice for clinical corneal refractive surgery because of its advantages in many aspects, such as superior surgical effect, short recovery period, safe and reliable surgical process, and low risk. Patients who choose this technology to correct visual defects can obtain clear vision in a short time and improve the quality of life.
