Shanghai Eye Hospital New Vision Meiping: How to perform laser myopia surgery?

Shanghai Eye Hospital New Vision Meiping is committed to providing advanced laser myopia surgery to help patients get rid of the shackles of glasses and contact lenses. The following will introduce the process of laser myopia surgery in detail from four aspects: preoperative preparation, intraoperative operation, postoperative care and precautions.

1. Preparation before operation

Before laser myopia surgery, professional doctors in the hospital will conduct a detailed eye examination to ensure that the patient's eye condition is suitable for laser surgery. These examinations include measurements of corneal thickness, corneal curvature, pupil diameter, etc., to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the operation.

Before surgery, patients need to avoid wearing contact lenses for a period of time to let their eyes return to normal state. In addition, the patient should keep enough sleep the night before the operation to avoid staying up late or fatigue, so as to improve the success rate of the operation.

Laser myopic surgery is a minimally invasive surgery. Patients usually do not need to be hospitalized, but need to be accompanied by a relative or friend to ensure safety and care after surgery.

2. Operation during operation

Laser myopia surgery is to reshape corneal curvature through excimer laser or femtosecond laser, so as to correct vision problems. Before the operation, the doctor will give the patient anesthetic eyedrops to ease the patient's discomfort.

During the operation, the doctor will use laser equipment to cut and correct the patient's cornea. The whole operation usually takes only a few minutes. The patient will feel some pressure and slight discomfort, but it will pass soon.

Laser myopic surgery is a non-invasive operation, which does not require suturing. After surgery, the cornea will heal itself, and no special care is required.

3. Postoperative nursing

After the operation, the patient needs to follow the doctor's instructions for recovery care. Within a few days after the operation, the patient may feel dry eyes and slight discomfort, which is a normal reaction. The doctor will prescribe some eyedrops to help alleviate the discomfort.

The patient needs to pay attention to avoid eye friction and strenuous exercise in a few weeks after surgery to avoid damage to the cornea. In addition, patients also need to follow the doctor's regular review and follow-up, and take drugs on time to promote corneal healing and stabilize vision.

4. Precautions

Before laser myopia surgery, patients need to know the risks and effects of surgery in detail from the doctor. Although the laser myopic surgery technology has been very mature and safe, there are still some potential risks, such as postoperative infection and vision problems.

The patient needs to inform the doctor of his medical history, allergy history and drug use before the operation, so that the doctor can evaluate the indications of the operation.

In summary, laser myopia surgery is a safe and effective method to correct vision. Through the professional guidance of doctors and postoperative care, patients can quickly recover their vision after surgery and get rid of the shackles of glasses and contact lenses.
