Complications and management of femtosecond surgery in Wuhan Union Medical College Hospital

The ophthalmology department of Wuhan Union Medical College Hospital is a first-class ophthalmic hospital in China. It has an experienced expert team and advanced equipment, and can perform high-quality ophthalmic surgery. Among them, femtosecond laser surgery is an important technology in the department, which has significant effects in correcting myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. However, like other operations, femtosecond surgery also has some risks of complications, but Peking Union Medical College Hospital has strict measures to deal with its complications.

1、 Infection of complications of ophthalmic femtosecond surgery

One potential complication of femtosecond surgery is infection, although such complications are very rare. Before the operation, the doctors of Peking Union Medical College Hospital will conduct a detailed eye examination and understand the patient's personal medical history to eliminate the risk factors that may lead to infection. In addition, during the operation, doctors will take strict aseptic operation measures to ensure the sterility of the operating environment. If the patient has infection symptoms such as eye redness, swelling, pain and vision loss, the Union Medical College Hospital will immediately treat them, including the use of antibiotic eyedrops and oral antibiotics.

2、 Corneal edema as a complication of ophthalmic femtosecond surgery

After femtosecond surgery, a few patients may have complications of corneal edema. This is usually caused by damage to the inner layer of the cornea or postoperative corneal infection. The Union Medical College Hospital will conduct a careful preoperative evaluation before surgery to determine whether the patient is suitable for femtosecond surgery. For patients with corneal edema, Union Medical College Hospital will take active treatment measures, such as the use of corneal protective eyedrops, symptomatic treatment and surgical repair when necessary.

3、 Complications of ophthalmic femtosecond surgery: poor pupil dilation

After femtosecond surgery, some patients may have complications of poor pupil dilation, resulting in blurred vision. This condition is usually caused by damage to the inner layer of the cornea after surgery. The Union Medical College Hospital will carry out a detailed eye examination for patients before surgery, including pupil examination, to reduce the risk of such complications. In case of poor pupil enlargement, Union Medical College Hospital will use pupil constrictor to restore normal size and further improve vision.

4、 Dry eye, a complication of ophthalmic femtosecond surgery

After femtosecond surgery, patients may have complications of dry eye, which is caused by corneal nerve injury during surgery. In order to reduce the risk of such complications, the Union Medical College Hospital will evaluate the patients for dry eye before surgery, and formulate appropriate treatment plans according to the evaluation results. For patients with dry eyes, the Union Medical College Hospital will provide eye drops, moisturizing eye masks, eye massage and other measures for treatment.

summary

The femtosecond surgery in the ophthalmology department of Wuhan Union Medical College Hospital is an efficient and safe ophthalmic surgery technology, which can solve the problems of myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. However, like other operations, femtosecond surgery also has some potential complications, such as infection, corneal edema, poor pupil dilation and dry eye. Union Medical College Hospital carried out detailed preoperative evaluation and screening before surgery, and took strict aseptic operation and safety measures to minimize the incidence of complications. For patients with complications, Union Medical College Hospital will provide targeted treatment measures to ensure the safety and recovery of patients.
