With the increase in the number of myopic people, myopia surgery has also received more and more attention. Among them, femtosecond and lens implantation are two common surgical methods, which have attracted much attention. So, which is better, ReLEx or crystal implantation? And how much are they? Today, Kangjing Gold Ophthalmology will take you to have an in-depth understanding.
1.Principles of surgery
Although ReLEx and lens implantation are both surgeries used to correct myopia, their surgical principles differ. ReLEx is to cut part of the corneal tissue by laser to change the curvature of the cornea, so as to achieve the purpose of correcting myopia. Lens implantation is the implantation of an intraocular lens, similar to wearing a pair of glasses in the eye, to achieve the purpose of correcting myopia.
2.Scope of application
ReLEx and lens implantation are suitable for different groups of people. ReLEx is suitable for people with myopia between 50 degrees and -1000 degrees, while lens implantation is more suitable for correction of myopia within 50 degrees to 1800 degrees. Lens implantation may be more appropriate for people with high myopia or people with thin corneas.
3.Surgical results
ReLEx and lens implantation also differ in terms of surgical outcomes. After ReLEx surgery, the patient's vision recovered quickly and had good long-term stability. On the other hand, patients have a slower recovery of their vision after lens implantation surgery and need some time to adapt. However, when vision is stabilized, lens implantation can achieve better surgical results than ReLEx.
4.Risks of surgery
Both ReLEx and lens implantation procedures have certain surgical risks and complications. Complications such as dry eye and corneal infection may occur after ReLEx surgery, while complications such as intraocular lens displacement and inflammation may occur after lens implantation surgery.
The number of ReLEx and lens implantation procedures** varies by region, hospital, etc. Generally speaking, the ** for the full femtosecond surgery is between 10,000 yuan and 25,000 yuan, while the ** for lens implantation surgery is between 25,000 yuan and 50,000 yuan. The specific ** also needs to be determined according to the specific situation of the patient and the hospital's charging standard.
When choosing between ReLEx or Lens Implantation surgery, patients should choose based on their own situation and their doctor's recommendations. If the patient's myopia is mild and the cornea is in good condition, ReLEx may be more suitable; For patients with high myopia and thin corneas, lens implantation may be more advantageous. At the same time, the patient's financial situation and personal preferences can also influence the choice.
No matter which surgical method is chosen, patients should follow the doctor's advice and guidance after surgery, review on time, take medication on time, avoid strenuous exercise, etc., to ensure the effect of surgery and their own safety. At the same time, patients should maintain eye hygiene and avoid prolonged eye use after surgery to promote postoperative recovery.
