Applicable population of myopia surgical instruments in Wuhan Union Medical College Hospital

Myopic surgery is a common method to correct myopia. In recent years, Wuhan Union Medical College Hospital has introduced advanced surgical instruments for myopia, which can provide safe and effective surgical treatment for suitable patients. The following details the applicable population of myopia surgical instruments in Wuhan Union Medical College Hospital from four aspects: the scope of surgery, age factors, health status and corneal thickness.

Applicable scope of surgery

The myopic surgical instrument of Wuhan Union Medical College Hospital is suitable for patients with mild and moderate myopia. According to international standards, the myopia degree suitable for surgery is generally between -1.00 and -8.00. Patients within this range, especially those with stable axial length and little degree change, can improve their vision through surgery.

In addition, people suitable for surgery also need to have good eye health, without other eye diseases and surgical contraindications, such as glaucoma, keratopathy, lens diseases, etc.

Age factor

Age is also an important factor in determining the suitable population for myopia surgery in Wuhan Union Medical College Hospital. Surgery is generally suitable for people aged 18 to 45. The ocular axis of adults over 18 years old is basically stable, and the effect of surgery can be well maintained; After 45 years old, presbyopia will appear, and the surgical effect may not be as expected. Therefore, selecting surgery within an appropriate age range can better achieve long-term stable vision improvement.

However, for adolescents under the age of 18, their eye axis is still growing and getting longer, and they may need another operation to adjust it after surgery. Therefore, Wuhan Union Medical College Hospital will decide whether it is suitable for surgery according to the specific situation of the patient and the age factor.

health

The people suitable for the operation need to have good physical health. Patients with chronic diseases, such as diabetes and hypertension, can only be operated after these diseases are stably controlled.

In addition, patients need to receive comprehensive ophthalmic examination, including vision, corneal topography, intraocular pressure, corneal thickness, etc. If the patient's corneal thickness is insufficient, it may not be suitable for surgery. The measurement of corneal thickness is one of the important indexes to judge the suitability of surgery.

Summary

In a word, the myopic surgical instrument of Wuhan Union Medical College Hospital is suitable for patients with mild to moderate myopia and good eye health. The age is between 18 and 45 years old, and the corneal thickness is sufficient. Surgical treatment can significantly improve patients' vision and improve their quality of life. However, for adolescents under 18 years of age and patients over 45 years of age, it is necessary to evaluate and decide whether it is suitable for surgery according to the specific situation. After determining the appropriate scope of surgery and age of surgery, comprehensive ophthalmic examination can ensure the safety and effectiveness of surgery.
