Ophthalmology Department of Wuhan People's Hospital: Is there any surgical treatment option for myopia?
Myopia is a kind of vision problem widely existing in modern society, which has brought some troubles to people's work, study and life. However, with the continuous progress of medical technology, the Ophthalmology Department of Wuhan People's Hospital provides a variety of treatment options for myopic patients, including myopic surgery. So let's take a closer look at these treatments.
Laser myopia surgery
Laser myopia surgery is a kind of surgical method that changes the curvature of the eye cornea through laser technology, so as to improve the vision of myopic patients. This operation can correct myopia by modifying the shape of the cornea, reducing or eliminating the refraction of the cornea to light.
Laser myopia surgery is usually divided into two common ways, LASIK and PRK. LASIK surgery is to peel off the corneal surface, cut the inside of the cornea, and re cover the corneal surface. PRK surgery is to remove part of corneal epithelium and regenerate it under the laser irradiation of the eye surface.
Before laser myopia surgery, the doctor will conduct a detailed eye examination to ensure that the patient's eyes meet the surgical conditions. After surgery, patients need to pay attention to eye hygiene, and avoid strenuous exercise and eye friction to promote wound healing. The effect of surgery varies with individual differences, but most patients can significantly improve their vision after surgery.
Lens implantation
Lens implantation is a surgical method to correct myopia by replacing the lens of the eye. During the operation, the doctor will implant an intraocular lens inside the patient's eyeball to replace the original lens, thus improving the vision of myopic patients.
Lens implantation is usually suitable for patients with high myopia or other eye problems. After successful surgery, the patient can obtain clear far vision, and the surgical results are relatively stable, not affected by the cornea.
However, lens implantation requires a long recovery period, and patients need to pay attention to postoperative eye hygiene and use eyedrops as recommended by doctors to promote wound healing and restore vision. Before surgery, a comprehensive eye examination is required to determine whether the patient is suitable for lens implantation.
Keratoscope
Corneal plastic lens is a non operative method to correct myopia. It shapes the eyeball at night by wearing specially designed corneal shaping glasses to change the curvature of the cornea. When the patient does not wear lenses in the daytime, he or she can obtain clear vision.
The corneal shaping lens is suitable for patients with low myopia, regardless of age, gender and gender. The patient needs to wear a corneal shaping lens before going to bed every day, and remove the lens in the morning. This method can not only correct myopia, but also keep patients with good far vision without wearing glasses in the daytime.
However, the corneal reshaping lens needs to be replaced regularly, and patients need to visit again regularly to ensure the normal use of the lens. In addition, patients may feel uncomfortable when wearing lenses for the first time, and the adaptation period usually takes several days to several weeks.
Summary
As a well-known ophthalmic hospital in Wuhan, the ophthalmology department of Wuhan People's Hospital provides a variety of treatment options for myopia. Laser myopia surgery can effectively improve the vision of myopic patients by changing the corneal curvature, lens implantation by replacing the eye lens, and corneal shaping lens by shaping the cornea. Patients should consult professional doctors when choosing treatment methods, and make appropriate choices according to their own conditions and doctors' suggestions. Although the effect of myopia surgery is obvious, not all patients are suitable. Therefore, it is equally important to pay attention to preoperative inspection and postoperative care.
