What are the risks of Guangzhou laser surgery in Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department?
Laser surgery is a common ophthalmic surgery, which is widely used to correct myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism and other refractive errors. Zhongshan Ophthalmology Guangzhou is a well-known ophthalmic hospital in China, providing professional laser surgery services for the majority of patients. However, laser surgery is not without risks. The risks of Guangzhou laser surgery in Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department are described in detail from four aspects: preoperative assessment, infection risk, dry eye and contravariant keratopathy.
Preoperative evaluation
The detailed evaluation before laser surgery is critical to the success of the surgery and the patient's eye health. First, the doctor needs to evaluate the patient's eye diopter to determine whether it is suitable for laser surgery. If the patient's diopter is too high or too low, it may lead to surgery failure or complications.
Secondly, doctors also need to check the patient's eye structure and health. If the patient has other eye diseases or eye infections, laser surgery may increase the risk of complications. Therefore, preoperative evaluation is a key step to ensure that patients can safely accept laser surgery.
*After that, the patient's personal health status also needs to be considered. Laser surgery may not be suitable for patients with other chronic diseases or immune system problems. Therefore, when deciding whether to perform laser surgery, patients and doctors need to comprehensively consider the eye state and overall health status.
Risk of infection
Any surgery has the risk of infection, and laser surgery is no exception. During surgery, if the equipment or surgical tools are not sufficiently disinfected and sterilized, bacteria or viruses may be introduced, leading to infection. At the same time, the patient's own eye cleaning is also an important link to prevent infection.
In order to reduce the risk of infection to a large extent, Zhongshan Ophthalmology Guangzhou adopts strict disinfection and aseptic procedures. Before the operation, the doctor will sterilize the equipment to ensure the cleanness of the operating environment. In addition, doctors will provide patients with preoperative cleaning instructions and require patients to follow postoperative nursing instructions to reduce the risk of infection.
Nevertheless, patients still need to pay close attention to the eye condition after surgery. If they find eye redness, swelling, abnormal secretion, etc., they should seek medical treatment in time to prevent the spread of infection.
xerophthalmia
Laser surgery may lead to dry eye after surgery. This is because the laser cuts and changes the corneal tissue during the operation, which affects the secretion and distribution of tears. After surgery, patients may have dry eyes, burning pain, blurred vision and other symptoms.
Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department in Guangzhou provides patients with appropriate postoperative care and treatment suggestions to alleviate dry eye symptoms. This includes the use of artificial tear drops to avoid prolonged eye use and excessive eye fatigue. For patients with severe dry eye, doctors may need further treatment and management.
Contravariant keratopathy
Contravariant keratopathy is one of the potential complications of laser surgery. This means that the shape of the cornea changes after surgery, resulting in poor vision recovery. The incidence of contravariant keratopathy is relatively low, but patients and doctors still need to pay attention to it.
In order to reduce the risk of contravariant keratopathy, Zhongshan Ophthalmology Guangzhou carried out a detailed eye scan and evaluation before surgery to ensure the accuracy and safety of the surgical program. After surgery, the doctor will closely monitor the patient's eye changes, and make adjustments and treatment as needed.
Summary
Zhongshan Ophthalmology Guangzhou provides professional laser surgery services for patients, but laser surgery is not without risks. The accuracy of preoperative evaluation, infection risk, dry eye and contravariant keratopathy are all potential risks of laser surgery. However, Zhongshan Ophthalmology Guangzhou has greatly reduced these risks through strict surgical procedures and postoperative nursing guidance. Before receiving laser surgery, patients should fully communicate with doctors to understand the risks and precautions of surgery, so as to ensure the success of surgery and postoperative recovery.
