“Why can’t I see clearly even though I’m wearing glasses?” Mr. Ni has been troubled for the past year. Later, after a check-up in the hospital, he found that it was cataracts that were the culprit. Mr. Ni, 57 years old this year, is a high school teacher. Because of long hours of preparation for classes, Mr. Ni began to have blurred vision 20 years ago, and was later diagnosed with 200-degree myopia. By 2016, Mr. Ni's myopia increased to 675 degrees. Since last year, Mr. Ni's vision has deteriorated very quickly, and he has changed three pairs of glasses in a year. The last time he went to the glasses store, no matter how he adjusted the degree, his vision was blurry. Mr. Ni was very puzzled and asked why he couldn't see clearly even with glasses. Mr. Ni, whose eyesight was seriously affected, came to the Aier Eye Hospital affiliated to Wuhan University (Wuhan Aier Eye Hospital), and found that it was cataracts that were causing the problem. Dr. Wang Yong, the director of the hospital and director of the cataract and presbyopia department, used femtosecond laser and implanted a multifunctional artificial lens based on Mr. Ni's examination results and his eye needs for both near and far vision. In one operation, Mr. Ni's myopia and cataracts were solved at the same time. After the operation, Mr. Ni's vision reached 1.0. Dr. Wang Yong reminded that there are many patients like Mr. Ni who cannot see clearly and think that their degree of cataract has worsened. If you find that your vision is weakening, you cannot see clearly when watching TV or reading newspapers, you see double images, or you find that the color of things has changed, please go to the hospital for examination in time to determine the cause. Especially if you have myopia or high myopia at a young age, early detection and early treatment can improve the quality of life. He emphasized that so far there is no drug that can completely cure cataracts, and surgery is still the only effective method. At the "International Synchronous Crystal Customization" Seven Years 7000 Femtosecond Laser Cataract Surgery Results Conference held recently, Dr. Zhou Li, deputy chief physician of the Cataract and Presbyopia Department of Wuhan University Aier Eye Hospital, said that with the gradual promotion of clinical applications, femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery has been applied to senile cataracts, congenital cataracts, cataracts under small pupils, glaucoma cataracts, and cataract combined with vitrectomy, and may be applied to more high-risk ophthalmic surgeries in the future. Since its introduction, Wuhan University Aier Eye Hospital has performed more than 7000 femtosecond cataract surgeries, and more than 4/5 of the total number of surgeries have a postoperative visual acuity of more than 0.8, which also indicates that people's demand for cataract surgery is not only to see, but also to see clearly and comfortably. |
