1. Overview of surgical methods

Ophthalmic surgery is a delicate and complex medical technology, involving many different surgical methods. Shanghai Eye Hospital New Vision 19 provides patients with a variety of surgical methods to meet the needs and conditions of different populations. These surgical methods include myopia surgery, cataract surgery, corneal transplantation, etc. When choosing a suitable surgical method, patients need to consider multiple factors, such as eye conditions, physical health and expected effects. The following details which surgical method is more suitable for you.

2. Myopia surgery vs cataract surgery

For myopia patients, myopia surgery and cataract surgery are two common choices. Myopic surgery is to improve myopia by changing the shape of the cornea. This surgical method mainly includes laser refractive surgery (LASIK), derived corneal refractive surgery (PRK) and lens implantation (ICL). Cataract surgery restores vision by removing the cloudy lens from the patient's eyes and implanting an intraocular lens. The two surgical methods have their own advantages and suitable objects, and they need to be individually evaluated according to the patient's myopia, age, eye condition and other factors, and finally * select * appropriate surgical methods.

Myopic surgery is suitable for patients with mild myopia, which can significantly improve vision and reduce dependence on glasses or contact lenses. For patients with deep myopia, cataract surgery may be more suitable, which can correct myopia and treat cataract at the same time.

If you are less myopic and want to reduce your dependence on glasses or contact lenses as much as possible, myopic surgery may be more suitable for you. However, if myopia is deep and there is a cataract problem at the same time, cataract surgery may be a better choice.

3. Corneal transplantation vs ocular surface surgery

Corneal transplantation and ocular surface surgery are two main methods to treat corneal diseases. Corneal transplantation is to take out the damaged corneal tissue and implant it into the donor corneal tissue to repair the function and transparency of the cornea. The ocular surface surgery is to restore the function of cornea by implanting artificial corneal ring, corneal contact lens and other instruments, or by transplanting ocular surface stem cells.

Corneal transplantation is suitable for some serious corneal diseases, such as corneal necrosis, corneal ulcer, etc. This surgical method can effectively repair corneal tissue and improve vision. The ocular surface surgery is suitable for some mild corneal diseases, such as dry eye, corneal surface damage, etc. The ocular surface surgery is relatively simple and the recovery period is short.

If your corneal disease is serious and you need to repair the function and transparency of corneal tissue, corneal transplantation may be a more suitable choice for you. If it is only a mild corneal disease, ocular surface surgery may be more suitable, which can effectively improve symptoms and quickly recover.

4. Individualized choice

In addition to the two aspects mentioned above, ophthalmologists will also make personalized choices according to the patient's age, health status and specific conditions of the eyes. Each patient's eye condition is different, so multiple factors need to be considered comprehensively to determine the appropriate surgical method. The doctor will decide the appropriate surgical method according to the patient's needs and expectations, as well as the safety and effect of the operation.

summary

When choosing an appropriate ophthalmic surgery method, patients need to consider multiple factors and fully communicate and evaluate with ophthalmologists. Myopia surgery and cataract surgery, corneal transplantation surgery and ocular surface surgery are common surgical methods, and each method has different applicable objects and effects. Individual selection according to individual conditions can improve the effect and safety of surgery. In New Vision 19 of Shanghai Eye Hospital, professional doctors will provide each patient with * appropriate surgical methods according to their specific conditions to achieve a clearer vision.
