Myopia lens surgery, safe and effective

Many people suffer from myopia, especially myopia caused by the learning process. Myopia must be corrected in time. Generally, wearing glasses is a simple treatment method, but if it is severe myopia, lens surgery is required and vision can be well restored.

1. In the 1980s, modern high-tech microscopy technology led to the rapid development of myopia correction surgery. The existing surgeries in China include excimer laser surgery (lasik., lasek) and phakic intraocular lens implantation.

Among the patients with refractive errors in China, about 30 million are extremely myopic patients. Most of them cannot undergo excimer corneal laser surgery due to relatively thin corneas and a high possibility of refractive regression. At the same time, problems such as aberration, chromatic aberration, and prism effect caused by high myopia make these patients have very poor compliance in wearing glasses. The iris-fixated phakic intraocular lens implantation is the latest myopia treatment surgery that our hospital's ophthalmology department first performed in China.

2. The surgery involves implanting a new type of artificial lens into the patient's eye through a small incision, just like wearing a miniature lens in the eye. This allows the patient to achieve the best corrected vision without wearing glasses while retaining the eye's ability to adjust. You can have good naked eye vision the day after the operation. This surgery is a reversible treatment because once the lens is in the eye it can be removed if necessary. In addition, this new surgery does not have the problem of abnormal night vision that often occurs after excimer laser surgery, and is more suitable for patients who need to use their eyes at night. This treatment method is quite safe and effective. Hundreds of patients have undergone the surgery in our hospital, and their satisfaction with the results is very high. It is particularly suitable for people with extreme myopia who cannot undergo excimer laser surgery and whose myopia degree is over 800 degrees.

3. After the operation, patients should pay attention to: avoid strenuous, impactful head movements, such as football, basketball, diving, weightlifting, sudden braking, etc., to prevent retinal detachment. Try to eat less spicy food and avoid smoking and drinking. Vasodilators should be used with caution when treating other diseases to prevent macular hemorrhage in the fundus. Choose a career carefully and try to avoid heavy physical labor and work that requires excessive eye strain at close range. You should go to the hospital for eye examinations regularly, paying special attention to the length of the eye axis, the degree of vitreous opacity, the morphology of the macular fundus, the presence of dry holes in the retina, and the presence of retinal detachment.
