Glasses bring a lot of inconvenience to life. When the lenses get wet on rainy days, the eyes become blurry. When running, they slip off from time to time, disrupting the rhythm and affecting the exercise effect. More and more myopic patients choose to receive myopia correction and take off their glasses. However, surgery on such a sensitive and important part of the eye makes people somewhat worried - is myopia correction safe? Let's take a look. Do "addition" or "subtraction" According to the correction principle, myopia correction can be divided into laser myopia correction and lens implantation. Laser myopia correction uses laser to cut the cornea to achieve the effect of changing the refractive power, which is a "subtraction" surgery; lens implantation is to implant a permanently usable lens into the eye to achieve the effect of correcting myopia, which is an "addition" surgery. Laser myopia correction works on the surface of the eye and does not touch the complex "parts" inside the eye. At the same time, the entire correction process is completed by laser equipment, which is more accurate and safer. As an "additive" surgery, lens implantation will not change the structure of the eyeball. If necessary, the lens can be removed. It is a reversible myopia correction program. There is no difference between the two surgeries. They are suitable for different groups of people and are both safe and feasible myopia correction programs. Preoperative examination to define safety boundaries Any medical procedure has risks, and the key is how to control the risks. Aier Eye Hospital has set up about 18 preoperative examination items, the purpose of which is to ensure that the patient meets the correction conditions and exclude the risk group from correction. At the same time, it also selects the surgical method and formulates a personalized correction plan based on the individual's eye conditions and specific eye needs, in order to achieve a more ideal correction effect on the basis of safety. Protect your eyesight by using your eyes properly after surgery Wang Qifeng, deputy chief physician at the Aier Eye Hospital affiliated to Wuhan University, said: Myopia correction is correction rather than a complete cure. After correction, some unhealthy eye behaviors may still bring new myopia risks. Therefore, developing good eye habits is the key. In this way, the good vision brought by myopia correction can be maintained and long-term eye health can be achieved. In summary, the risk of myopia correction is controllable, and the choice of hospital is very important! |
