Femtosecond surgery in TCM hospital

The eye is one of the most important senses of the human body, but suffering from eye diseases is a problem for many people. In the field of ophthalmic surgery, femtosecond laser surgery is an important treatment. As a well-known medical institution in China, TCM hospitals also provide femtosecond surgery services for patients. So how is the femtosecond operation performed in the TCM hospital? This article will elaborate from four aspects: operation preparation, operation process, postoperative nursing and operation effect.

Surgical preparation

Femtosecond laser surgery is a minimally invasive surgery, which requires a series of preparations before surgery. First, the patient needs to perform a detailed eye examination to determine if femtosecond surgery is appropriate. The doctor will evaluate the patient's ocular curvature, pigmentation, corneal thickness and other indicators.

On the day before the operation, the patient needs to stop wearing contact lenses and avoid using alcohol or irritating cosmetics. On the day of operation, the patient needs to receive general anesthesia and eye drops of local anesthetic eye drops. In addition, the doctor will disinfect the operation area, communicate with patients before operation, and answer their questions.

Operation process

Femtosecond laser surgery is a kind of high-precision ophthalmic surgery. The surgery process is usually short and lasts for tens of minutes. First, the doctor will use the laser cutter to create a corneal flap with a thickness of 0.2-0.3mm, and then gently fold the flap.

Then, doctors use femtosecond lasers to adjust the shape of the cornea. The laser will remove the specified layer of the cornea in seconds, and then the corneal flap will be put down again. During the operation, the patient will feel slight pressure and blurred vision, but will not feel pain.

Throughout the operation, the doctor will observe the patient's eyeball through a microscope to ensure the accuracy and safety of the operation. After the operation is completed, the doctor will give simple postoperative guidance to the patient and schedule a return visit.

Postoperative care

After surgery, patients need to pay attention to eye care. The doctor will ask the patient to wear an eye shield to reduce irritation and protect the eyeball. In the first few days, the patient may have eye discomfort, dryness, tingling and other symptoms, which are normal reactions. In addition, patients need to avoid rubbing their eyes and exposure to dust and polluted environment.

About one month after the operation, the patient needs to return to the hospital for further consultation. The doctor will perform intraocular pressure test, fundus examination and vision measurement to ensure the surgical effect and recovery. The postoperative rehabilitation period is usually several months, during which the patient needs to actively cooperate with the doctor's requirements, and carry out further consultation and treatment on time.

Surgical effect

Femtosecond laser surgery is one of the advanced treatment methods in the ophthalmology field at present, with high safety and effect reliability. After surgery, the patient's myopia, hyperopia or astigmatism can be effectively corrected.

Not only that, during surgery, doctors can also carry out personalized treatment according to the individual differences of patients to improve the surgical effect. Femtosecond laser technology can also prevent and treat some corneal diseases, such as corneal refractive errors and corneal scars.

To sum up, femtosecond surgery in TCM hospital is an effective and safe ophthalmic treatment. Through surgical preparation, surgical process and postoperative care, patients can obtain good surgical results and regain healthy eyesight. The femtosecond surgery in the TCM hospital provides an effective treatment for patients with ophthalmic diseases, and has been praised by the majority of patients.
