Wuhan All Femtosecond Laser Hospital: What age group is the surgery suitable for?
All femtosecond laser surgery is a common method to correct myopia, and Wuhan All femtosecond Laser Hospital is one of the well-known ophthalmic hospitals in China. Many people have doubts about the applicable age of surgery. This article will elaborate on the characteristics of different age stages, preoperative inspection requirements, surgical effects and postoperative precautions.
1. Age characteristics
First, full femtosecond laser surgery is applicable to people between 18 and 60 years old. At this age, eye development has been basically stable, and vision has been relatively stable. For teenagers with myopia, surgery is more suitable for their later stage of stable vision, usually over the age of 18. After 60 years old, with the growth of age, the vision will age, and the effect of laser surgery is not as obvious as that in young age.
Secondly, age is also related to the risk of surgery. Young people's corneal tissue is relatively soft, with strong recovery ability and low surgical risk. However, with the increase of age, the cornea gradually becomes hard, and the risk of surgery will increase. Therefore, age and eye condition should be considered comprehensively when selecting the appropriate age for surgery.
In addition, pregnant and lactating women are not suitable for full femtosecond laser surgery. During pregnancy, changes in hormone levels may lead to changes in vision and unstable surgical results. During lactation, hormonal changes may affect the recovery of surgery, so it is better to wait until the end of lactation before considering surgery.
2. Preoperative examination requirements
Before the operation, Wuhan All Femtosecond Laser Hospital will carry out a series of examinations to ensure that the patient's eye condition is suitable for the operation. These examinations include visual acuity, ocular surface and corneal topography. Through these examinations, doctors can know the patient's corneal curvature, corneal thickness, corneal diopter and other indicators, so as to judge whether it is suitable for full femtosecond laser surgery.
The purpose of preoperative examination is to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the operation. For some patients with serious eye diseases or other related diseases, full femtosecond laser surgery may not be suitable. Therefore, preoperative examination is very important for screening suitable surgical patients.
3. Operation effect
All femtosecond laser surgery can significantly improve vision, reduce or eliminate myopia. After surgery, many patients can significantly feel the improvement of vision. However, the effect of surgery varies from person to person, depending on the patient's corneal curvature, degree, surgical technique and other factors.
When choosing the age of surgery, we also need to consider the durability of surgery. The adult cornea is relatively stable, and the surgical effect can last for a long time. However, the cornea of teenagers is still developing, and the surgical effect may be reduced to some extent. Therefore, when considering the age appropriate for surgery, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the durability of the surgical effect.
4. Postoperative precautions
After surgery, patients need to follow the doctor's postoperative care instructions. Postoperative cornea needs time to recover and stabilize, and patients need to avoid strenuous exercise, eye collision, and rubbing eyes. At the same time, it is also necessary to go to the hospital regularly for reexamination to ensure the effect of the operation and the stability of the eye condition.
In addition, patients also need to pay attention to eye hygiene and protection, maintain good living habits, and avoid factors such as staying up late and using eyes for a long time. All of these help to maintain the surgical effect and eye health.
Summary
The full femtosecond laser surgery in Wuhan All Femtosecond Laser Hospital is suitable for people between 18 and 60 years old. The applicable age of surgery needs to comprehensively consider the factors such as age characteristics, surgical risks, preoperative examination requirements, surgical effects and postoperative precautions. When choosing the age of surgery, patients should consult the doctor's advice and conduct detailed preoperative examinations. At the same time, postoperative care and precautions are also important factors to ensure the operation effect.
