Aftereffects of eye surgery

Bad living habits have caused many of our friends to become nearsighted. If myopia does not wear glasses, it will greatly affect our vision. Nowadays, many young people choose to undergo eye surgery to improve their myopia because they do not want to wear glasses. Generally speaking, surgery can help us restore our vision. But there will also be some post-operative side effects that affect our lives.

Myopia causes us a lot of inconvenience in life. Most of myopia is caused by not being able to use the eyes well and healthily, and some of it is caused by genetic or environmental problems. Acquired myopia can be treated through myopia surgery. If the patient is not careful after the operation or the medical institution he chooses is not professional enough, it is easy to cause sequelae. A detailed examination before surgery is one of the necessary procedures to prevent sequelae.

The safety of laser correction surgery is related to the doctor's operating experience and equipment. Surgery is not risk-free, and the main thing to do is to avoid two postoperative complications. Any corneal surgery that leaves a wound presents a chance of infection. Some of the sequelae of myopia surgery are caused by the wound being exposed to the air after the cornea recovers. If you do not pay attention to hygiene, it will cause inflammation and infection.

The treatment for myopia is to flatten the cornea, but a cornea that is too flat will be squeezed by the pressure from inside the eye, causing the cornea to bulge forward. People cannot feel this pressure, but the consequence is that not only will it fail to cure myopia, but it will aggravate it and even cause irreversible astigmatism.

First, the occurrence of sequelae of myopia surgery is sometimes caused by the hospital's failure to carefully screen and exclude patients with congenital eye diseases before the operation.

Second, even though qualified patients are screened, doctors may not perform the surgery on the right scale during the operation. For example, a certain corneal thickness should be maintained, but some doctors want to completely correct the vision of patients with high myopia and cut the cornea too thin, leading to adverse consequences.

After the above introduction to the sequelae of myopia surgery, do you have some understanding of the sequelae of myopia surgery? Therefore, before performing surgery on the patient, you must ensure the safety of the hospital to avoid causing more serious harm to yourself.

Types of sequelae

First, dry eye syndrome (this is a very difficult eye disease, and the current treatments are only symptomatic and cannot fundamentally solve it);

Second, [complication of severe keratitis] (such as the need for corneal transplantation when viral keratitis is at its worst);

Third [Visual regression] (regress to the original state or slightly better);

Fourth, [corneal flap rupture caused by accidental collision after surgery] is complicated by a series of serious complications;

Fifth [Keratoconus] (can only be treated with corneal transplantation. The best visual acuity after the operation can reach 1.0. The quality of visual acuity mainly depends on factors such as suturing skills and whether there is rejection reaction).
