Which is better, Shanghai Eye Hospital New Vision or Laser Surgery?

Ophthalmic surgery is a common method to solve eye diseases. As a city with high medical level in China, Shanghai has many famous eye hospitals, such as Shanghai Eye Hospital. In ophthalmic surgery, new vision surgery and laser surgery are two common methods. So, what are the differences between New Vision surgery and laser surgery in terms of therapeutic effect, surgical risk, cost and applicability? In this paper, we will make a detailed comparison between the new vision surgery and laser surgery in Shanghai Eye Hospital from these four aspects.

1、 Therapeutic effect

In terms of therapeutic effect, both the new vision surgery and laser surgery can effectively correct the ocular refractive problem and improve vision. However, the purpose of new vision surgery is to correct vision by implanting intraocular lens into the eye, while laser surgery is to use laser technology to cut the cornea and change its shape. In contrast, the treatment effect of the new vision surgery is more stable. One operation can achieve the ideal effect, and can adapt to a wider range of diopter. However, laser surgery requires different surgical methods for different diopter problems, which is complex.

In addition, the new vision surgery has obvious advantages in the treatment of senile cataract, myopia and other eye diseases. Therefore, in terms of therapeutic effect, the new vision surgery is more excellent.

2、 Surgical risk

Any kind of surgery will have certain risks, and ophthalmic surgery is no exception. In terms of surgical risk, new vision surgery is relatively small. Because the new vision surgery is a minimally invasive surgery in the eye, it does not need to cut corneal tissue, reducing the risk of surgery. However, laser surgery requires corneal ablation, which is prone to dry mouth, photosensitivity and other uncomfortable reactions after surgery, and the operation risk is high.

In addition, the new vision surgery also has a lower risk of infection, because only a small incision needs to be made in the eye during the surgery, which is relatively simple. Laser surgery requires laser ablation of the cornea, which is more likely to cause infection.

3、 Fees

Cost is an important consideration when patients choose the operation mode. Generally speaking, the cost of new vision surgery is higher than that of laser surgery. This is because the new vision surgery requires intraocular lens implantation, while laser surgery only requires laser technology to cut the cornea. If the patient is sensitive to the cost, laser surgery may be a more economical option.

4、 Application

In terms of application, the new vision surgery is applicable to myopia, hyperopia, senile cataract and other eye diseases. Laser surgery is more suitable for myopia, astigmatism, keratopathy and other refractive problems. Therefore, when choosing a surgical method, patients should choose a suitable surgical method according to their own conditions and doctors' suggestions.

summary

New vision surgery and laser surgery are two common ophthalmic operations in Shanghai Eye Hospital. From the perspective of therapeutic effect, surgical risk, cost and applicability, New Horizon surgery is superior in terms of therapeutic effect and less surgical risk, but the cost is higher. And laser surgery is more economical and affordable in terms of cost, and has a wider scope of application. Therefore, when choosing the operation mode, patients should make a wise choice according to their own conditions and doctors' opinions.
