Shanghai Eye Hospital Myopia Correction: Which correction method is suitable for me?
Myopia is a common ophthalmic problem, which causes a lot of inconvenience to people's life and study. However, in today's era of advanced medicine, there are many ways to help people correct myopia. Shanghai Eye Hospital, as a famous eye hospital, provides a variety of myopia correction methods. So, which corrective method is suitable for me? We will elaborate on the types, effects, safety and costs of surgery.
Type of operation
There are two common methods for myopia correction: laser surgery and lens implantation.
Laser surgery is a method of reshaping the cornea using laser technology. It can correct myopia by changing the curvature of the cornea so that the light can be correctly focused on the retina. Laser surgery is one of the most popular myopic surgery because of its obvious correction effect, fast recovery and no need of hospitalization.
Lens implantation surgery is to implant an intraocular lens with myopia correction function into the eye. By replacing the natural lens in the eye, it can change the refraction of the eye and achieve the effect of correcting myopia. Lens implantation is suitable for some patients with thin cornea or other eye problems. It is safe and reliable, but the recovery time is relatively long.
It is very important to choose a suitable type of surgery according to personal conditions and the advice of the ophthalmologist.
Surgical effect
Different surgical methods have different surgical effects. Generally speaking, the correction effect of laser surgery is more direct and obvious, and most patients can recover to significant visual improvement after surgery. Although the recovery time of lens implantation surgery is longer, the correction effect is relatively more stable, which is more suitable for some patients with thin cornea or other eye problems.
However, the stability of the surgical effect is also related to individual differences. Some people may need multiple operations to achieve the desired correction effect. Therefore, when deciding on the operation mode, it is necessary to fully understand the doctor's suggestions and conduct full professional consultation.
Security
The safety of surgery is an issue that every patient is very concerned about. In general, laser surgery and lens implantation surgery are carried out in eye hospitals with mature technology, and the safety is relatively high.
In recent years, with the progress of laser technology and the improvement of surgical instruments, the safety of laser surgery has been greatly improved. However, laser surgery still has certain surgical risks, such as vision loss or dryness after surgery. The difficulty and risk of lens implantation surgery are relatively large, which needs more careful selection.
cost
The cost of surgery is also an important factor to consider. Generally speaking, the cost of laser surgery is high, because the cost of the equipment and instruments it requires is high. The cost of lens implantation surgery is relatively low, but it will also vary depending on the patient's eye conditions.
Therefore, in addition to the effect and safety of surgery, the cost factor should also be considered when selecting the surgical method. You can consult more hospitals, compare costs, and choose a suitable hospital.
Summary
For myopia correction, Shanghai Eye Hospital provides two common methods: laser surgery and lens implantation surgery. Laser surgery has obvious correction effect and fast recovery, which is suitable for most patients. Lens implantation surgery is applicable to some patients with thin cornea or other eye problems, and the surgical effect is relatively stable. No matter which surgical method is selected, preoperative examination and consultation are very important, and the cost is also a factor to consider. I hope this article will be helpful for you to understand the methods of myopia correction in Shanghai Eye Hospital.
