What eye diseases does Xi'an ophthalmic laser surgery apply to?
As a common treatment method, ophthalmic laser surgery can effectively improve eye diseases. As one of the central cities in China, Xi'an has many well-known ophthalmic hospitals, and its ophthalmic laser surgery technology is also quite advanced. This article will describe the eye diseases applicable to Xi'an ophthalmic laser surgery from four aspects: corneal ametropia, glaucoma, cataract and strabismus.
Corneal ametropia
Corneal ametropia is a refractive error caused by the inability of the eye to focus light correctly. Common corneal ametropia include myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. For patients with mild to moderate myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism, Xi'an eye hospitals usually recommend laser surgery for correction. Laser surgery adjusts the refraction of light by changing the curvature of the cornea, so as to achieve the purpose of correcting vision.
However, laser surgery may not be suitable for severe myopia or other refractive errors. At this time, the ophthalmologist will recommend other treatment options, such as lens implantation, according to the specific situation of the patient.
glaucoma
Glaucoma is an eye disease with high intraocular pressure, which leads to damage to the optic nerve. Eye hospitals in Xi'an often use laser surgery as a means of glaucoma treatment. Laser surgery can reduce intraocular pressure by reducing the production of aqueous humor or increasing its drainage.
However, laser surgery is not applicable to all glaucoma patients. Sometimes, laser surgery may not be effective in reducing intraocular pressure, or may lead to other complications. Therefore, before receiving laser surgery, patients need to consult and check with doctors in detail to determine the applicability of the surgery.
cataract
Cataract is a common eye disease in the elderly, which is mainly manifested by the opacity of the lens in the eye, leading to decreased vision. In Xi'an Eye Hospital, laser surgery is often used for the preparation of cataract treatment. Laser surgery can provide better conditions for surgery by creating a small hole and starting specialized medical treatment before cataract surgery.
However, laser surgery cannot directly cure cataracts. For cataract patients, lens replacement surgery is still needed to remove the cloudy lens and replace it with intraocular lens. Therefore, in cataract treatment, laser surgery is only an auxiliary means, and its scope of application is limited.
strabismus
Strabismus is a disease of abnormal eye position, which leads to the inability to coordinate the eyes accurately. Eye hospitals in Xi'an usually use laser surgery as a means of strabismus correction. Laser surgery can change the movement of the eyeball by cutting or shortening part of the extraocular muscles to correct strabismus.
However, laser surgery is not applicable to all strabismus patients. In some complicated strabismus cases, other treatment methods may be required, such as strabismus surgery or visual training. Therefore, when determining the treatment plan for strabismus, the doctor will make a comprehensive evaluation according to the specific situation of the patient and select * an appropriate treatment method.
Summary
The laser surgery in Xi'an Eye Hospital has wide applicability in the treatment of corneal refractive error, glaucoma, cataract, strabismus and other eye diseases. However, the methods and effects of laser surgery are different for different eye diseases. Therefore, before receiving laser surgery, the patient needs to consult and check with a professional ophthalmologist in detail to determine the applicability of the surgery and the best treatment plan.
