Sand blew into the woman's eyes and she rubbed her contact lens into pieces

"Several times, I couldn't find my contact lenses when I took them out. Last week, I rubbed my eyes and the doctor helped me find the contact lens that had 'hidden' deep in my eyeball and was broken into pieces." On September 4, Ms. Tian, ​​who had a follow-up check for myopia surgery, repeatedly said that wearing glasses was too inconvenient when she talked about her original intention for the surgery.

The waiting hall was full of patients who wanted to undergo myopia surgery.

Ms. Tian, ​​28 years old, works in the Internet industry. She has been wearing 200-degree frame glasses since she was in the fifth grade. As she got older, her myopia increased. After graduating from college, Ms. Tian's myopia reached 700 degrees. After she started working, Ms. Tian started wearing contact lenses, but several times, when she took out her contact lenses, they were always missing.

Last week, Ms. Tian felt sand in her eyes and rubbed them gently. Suddenly, she felt a foreign body in her eyes, which caused unbearable pain, soreness and swelling in her eyes, and she couldn't open them. When she wanted to take out her contact lenses, she found that they were gone. With tears in her eyes, she rushed to the Aier Eye Hospital affiliated to Wuhan University for treatment.

After a thorough search, Chen Xiangxi, deputy chief physician of the hospital's ocular surface and cornea specialist department, finally found the contact lens hidden deep inside Ms. Tian's eyeball. At this point, the contact lens Ms. Tian was wearing was already in pieces.

After this experience, Ms. Tian made up her mind to take off her glasses.

After a detailed examination, Ms. Tian, ​​who had 700-degree myopia in both eyes, met the requirements for surgery. Considering that Ms. Tian likes sports, Zhang Qingsong, director of the hospital's refractive department, suggested that she undergo the all-femtosecond laser surgery. During the follow-up examination, Ms. Tian's vision had recovered to 1.2.

It is understood that there are currently 600 million myopic patients in my country, accounting for almost 50% of the total population. Director Zhang Qingsong said that removing glasses has become a "must-have" for many myopic people, and more and more people hope to improve their quality of life through myopia surgery.

"There are currently two main types of refractive surgery. One is corneal refractive surgery, which is performed in the form of laser surgery; the other is lens refractive surgery, which involves implanting a lens in the eye." Director Zhang Qingsong reminded that myopia surgery is now very mature, but because the eye conditions of each patient are different, the surgery still has a certain range of adaptability. It depends on whether the eye conditions are suitable for myopia surgery, and what type of myopia surgery is suitable.
