Myopia surgery in Wuhan Union Medical College Pediatric Eye Hospital
In recent years, with the popularization of electronic products and the acceleration of the pace of life, myopia has become one of the health problems that modern people generally face. This article will introduce whether Wuhan Union Medical College Pediatric Ophthalmology Hospital has performed myopia surgery in detail from four aspects: the type of surgery, the indication of surgery, the effect of surgery and the cost of surgery.
1、 Type of operation
The myopia surgery currently provided by Wuhan Union Medical College Pediatric Eye Hospital mainly includes laser surgery and lens implantation surgery.
Laser surgery is a widely used method for myopia surgery. This operation adjusts the corneal surface tissue through laser, so as to improve vision. The operation has the advantages of simple operation and short recovery period, and it is effective for patients with lower myopia and older age.
Lens implantation is a novel method for myopia correction. Implantation of intraocular lens into the eye through surgery can change the refraction of the eye, thus achieving the effect of correcting myopia. The operation is suitable for patients with high myopia and corneal conditions that are not suitable for laser surgery. The vision recovers quickly after the operation, and there is no obvious discomfort such as dry eyes after the operation.
2、 Surgical indications
Myopia surgery is not applicable to all myopia patients. Wuhan Union Medical College Pediatric Ophthalmology Hospital will make a comprehensive evaluation based on the patient's myopia degree, corneal thickness, ocular curvature and other factors to determine the surgical indication.
Laser surgery is applicable to patients with myopia within 300 degrees, and patients with corneal thickness and curvature within a certain range. The lens implantation surgery is suitable for patients with high myopia and corneal conditions that are not suitable for laser surgery.
3、 Surgical effect
The effect of myopia surgery in Wuhan Union Medical College Pediatric Eye Hospital varies from individual to individual, but in general, the vision of patients after surgery will be significantly improved.
The effect of laser surgery usually appears gradually within a few days to weeks after the surgery, and finally stabilizes at a better level. However, due to the use of intraocular lens in lens implantation surgery, a relatively good vision can be restored on the day of surgery or within a few days.
However, it should be noted that myopia surgery can not completely cure myopia, and can only correct vision. Therefore, regular follow-up is still needed after surgery to maintain good living habits and eye use environment, so as to reduce the further deepening of myopia.
4、 Operation expenses
The cost of myopia surgery varies depending on the type of surgery and individual differences, and needs to be determined according to the specific situation of the patient.
Generally speaking, the cost of laser surgery is slightly lower than that of lens implantation surgery. The operation cost also includes preoperative examination fee, surgical instrument fee, postoperative return visit fee, etc. Before consulting the hospital, patients should first understand the relevant costs and make decisions under the guidance of doctors.
summary
Wuhan Union Medical College Pediatric Eye Hospital provides laser surgery and lens implantation surgery for myopia, and determines the surgical indications according to the specific conditions of patients. After the surgery, the patient's vision will be significantly improved, but it should be noted that the surgery can not completely cure myopia, and still need to maintain good living habits. The cost of surgery varies according to the type of surgery and individual differences. Patients need to clarify the cost of surgery and other related costs under the guidance of doctors. No matter which surgical method is selected, the patient should conduct a comprehensive consultation and evaluation before the operation, and select a surgical plan suitable for their own conditions.
