Every day, there will be friends who ask.
What does it feel like to have myopia surgery?
Does it hurt?Will it bleed!
Myopia surgery has become a common method of lens removal for people with myopia.
Although there are quite a few people who have myopia surgery.
But after all, it's surgery.
Before I experienced it.
I am still full of fear and anxiety about the unknown.
What exactly does it feel like to have myopia surgery?
Today, Xiao Jia will talk to you
What is myopia surgery?
At present, the mainstream myopia surgery methods are divided into two categories: laser myopia surgery and ICL lens implantation.
In Nanning Baishijia Ophthalmology, laser myopia surgery includes SMILE full femtosecond myopia surgery, Jingdiao (femtosecond), full laser surgery, ICL lens implantation surgery, etc.
In general,LasersMyopia surgery is suitable for myopic patients with a myopia of 1000 degrees and a astigmatism of 600 degrees. ICL lens implantationGenerally speaking, it can correct myopia patients with a myopia of 1800 degrees and a astigmatism of 600 degrees.
Laser myopia surgery
Myopia is because parallel rays of light pass through the eyeball, are refracted and the focus cannot fall on the retina. Whether it's glasses or myopia surgery, it's all about trying to change the refractive index of light and bring the focus back to the retina.
Laser myopia surgery is a "subtraction" in which a portion of the outermost cornea of the eye is ablated to form a lens with a prescription, thereby changing the refractive index of light.
The scope of laser myopia surgery is limited to the superficial ocular surface, and the complex tissues in the eye will not be touched, and the whole process is completed by the device laser.
However, laser myopia surgery also has limitations: if the patient's cornea is thin, or if the patient's cornea is too thin, or if the degree of myopia is large, and too many corneas need to be cut, then it is not suitable for "subtraction" of the cornea.
ICL lens implantation
Unlike laser myopia surgery, which requires the cornea to be cut and a part of the eye tissue removed, ICL lens implantation is an "addition" in which implantable glasses are implanted into the eye.
ICL lens implantation has the advantage of being reversible compared to laser myopia surgery, especially for patients with high myopia and the corneal condition is not good enough, ICL lens surgery is recommended.
What does it feel like to have myopia surgery?Does it hurt?
Many myopia patients are worried that myopia surgery will be painful, and they will feel nervous when they have to go to the operating table.
In fact, before the operation, it will help us to drop anesthetic on the eyeball, and there will generally be only slight discomfort during the operation, and the surgical process is relatively fast, such as laser myopia surgery will be completed in a few minutes to ten minutes while lying on the operating table, so there is no need to be overly nervous.
Different from the well-known surgical anesthesia method, no matter which type of surgery is chosen, no matter which type of surgery is chosen, no injection is required, only local anesthesia is applied to the surface of the eye in the form of eye drops.
During laser surgery, some people will slightly feel the presence of negative pressure during laser scanningSome patients may have a slight feeling of pressure or traction when taking the lens. During the whole procedure, there will be no significant pain.
If it is a lens implantation surgery, the patient will have some soreness during the lens implantation process, but there is basically no obvious pain, and for some sensitive people, it is also slightly uncomfortable.
After the surgery, some myopia patients may be a little scared and dare not open their eyes after surgery, but in fact, generally speaking, laser myopia surgery can open their eyes after surgery, and the next day's re-examination will not affect their normal life.
A friend consulted Xiaojia:Will myopia surgery bleed?
Laser myopia surgery uses a laser to cut the corneal flap with little to no heat transfer and no tissue damage during the procedure. And because there are no blood vessels on the cornea, there is no bleeding.
ICL lens implantation is equivalent to implanting a pair of "** glasses" with special materials in the eye, and the surgical incision is very small, and the incision will be selected at the edge of the cornea, and there will be no bleeding under normal circumstances.
Therefore, children who want to take off the mirror and have procrastination.
It's not too late to arrange it now
Regarding the post-operative review, many people ask:
We all know that regular re-examination after myopia surgery is very important, and it is required to have regular re-examination on time on the first day, first week, one month, three months, half a year, and one year after surgery, so that the doctor can know the recovery after surgery at any time.
What should I do if I go to work in a different place after surgery?
If you have to go to work or school in other places after surgery, don't worry!BISJIA Ophthalmology is a national chain, and you can choose to have post-operative examinations at the local or nearby BISJIA Ophthalmology.
