Will Wuhan Union Medical College Hospital relapse after femtosecond myopia surgery?
Myopia surgery is an effective method to treat myopia. As one of the well-known medical institutions in China, Wuhan Union Medical College Hospital's ophthalmology expert team provides femtosecond laser myopia surgery services. However, whether many patients will relapse myopia after surgery has become an important concern. This article will elaborate on whether Wuhan Union Medical College Hospital will relapse after femtosecond myopia surgery from the aspects of surgical principle, patient selection, surgical effect and recurrence risk.
Operation principle
Femtosecond laser myopic surgery is to correct myopia by using laser to volatilize corneal tissue and change corneal curvature. During the operation, the doctor uses the laser to cut the front surface of the cornea, and then uses the laser to volatilize the internal layer of the cut cornea, and finally resets the front surface of the cornea. This operation principle can significantly improve the vision of myopic patients, and the operation precision is high. Femtosecond laser technology makes the operation more safe and accurate.
However, femtosecond laser myopic surgery cannot completely cure myopia. The cornea of myopic patients still has a certain curvature, and myopia may continue to develop in the growth period. Therefore, whether myopia will recur after surgery is also a matter of concern.
Patient selection
The postoperative recurrence of myopia is related to the physiological characteristics of the eyeball and the degree of myopia. Wuhan Union Medical College Hospital will conduct a detailed eyeball measurement and evaluation before the operation to assess whether the patient is suitable for femtosecond laser myopia surgery. Generally speaking, the appropriateness of patient selection is related to the degree of myopia and corneal thickness.
According to the patient's eye axis length, corneal thickness and other indicators, doctors can judge whether the patient is suitable for surgery and the difficulty and safety of surgery. For myopic patients with high degree, the risk of recurrence after surgery is relatively high, because surgery cannot completely change the physiological characteristics of the eye, and recurrence may be related to the growth of the ocular axis.
Surgical effect
After femtosecond laser myopic surgery, most patients can obtain obvious myopia improvement effect. The vision of patients after surgery may reach or close to the normal level, and they no longer need to rely on glasses or contact lenses. The duration of the surgical effect varies from individual to individual, and can last for many years.
However, even if the surgical effect is good, there is still a certain risk of recurrence after surgery. The recurrence of myopia after surgery may be related to the physiological characteristics of the eye, such as the growth of the ocular axis and the changes in the refractive state of the eye. Although the risk of recurrence exists, most patients can still maintain good vision after surgery.
Recurrence risk
Although there is a risk of recurrence of myopia after surgery, the specific risk of recurrence is related to individual differences of patients and surgical techniques. Femtosecond laser myopic surgery was performed by an experienced expert team in Wuhan Union Medical College Hospital. The surgical technique is accurate and safe, which can minimize the risk of recurrence.
In addition, patients should take regular reexamination and pay attention to eye hygiene according to the doctor's recommendations after surgery to avoid excessive fatigue and eye injuries, which can effectively reduce the risk of postoperative myopia recurrence.
To sum up, the femtosecond myopia surgery provided by Wuhan Union Medical College Hospital has a certain surgical effect, and most patients can obtain significant improvement in myopia after surgery. Although there may be a certain risk of recurrence of myopia after surgery, this risk can be controlled through patient selection and screening, regular examination after surgery and eye health management. Therefore, after the femtosecond myopia surgery in Wuhan Union Medical College Hospital, patients can obtain better surgical results and reduce the risk of recurrence.
