Should I have myopia surgery for high myopia?

Patients with high myopia not only have limited majors, but also wear thick and heavy deep glasses for a long time, which also brings a lot of inconvenience to life. I heard that myopia correction technology is very mature, and I want to know if surgery can be done for high myopia? What are the conditions to do it?

High myopia below 1200 degrees can be corrected by femtosecond laser.

Above 600 degrees is high myopia, because the degree is relatively high, if the corneal thickness is not ideal, traditional excimer laser surgery is often not possible, and femtosecond laser surgery can only be considered. ”

The indications of femtosecond laser surgery are wider, and the accuracy of the corneal flap is many times that of traditional excimer surgery, which ensures the safety of the operation to a large extent. ”

For high myopia below 2300 degrees, ICL intraocular lens implantation is an option.

However, what about ultra-high myopia above 1200 degrees? Most patients with high myopia with myopia exceeding 1200 degrees are not suitable for laser myopia surgery, and ICL intraocular lens implantation, which is currently the most popular in the world, is the best choice for patients with ultra-high myopia.

ICL, also known as phakic intraocular lens implantation in the posterior chamber, is suitable for patients with myopia between 600-2300, astigmatism of 100-600 degrees, farsightedness of 600 degrees, and cornea is very thin and cannot undergo femtosecond laser surgery.

The applicable range of myopia eye surgery is over 18 years old, the myopia degree is stable for more than two years, the annual fluctuation of the prescription is not more than 50 degrees, and there is no active eye disease and systemic diseases that affect the surgical effect, if these conditions are met, myopia surgery can be considered.

First of all, the operation is to thin the cornea in the ** area, which is not suitable for a patient whose cornea is already very thin. Moreover, if the degree is too high, the curvature needs to be higher, considering the thickness of the cornea itself, it is not suitable for too much wear, this is one of the most critical points for us to measure whether he can do surgery, there are some corneal diseases or some keratoconus, etc., these are not suitable for corneal laser surgery to correct myopia, specifically each patient may be different, you need to go to the hospital for a detailed examination to know, there is a particularly serious dry eye syndrome, and it is not suitable for myopia eye surgery.

If you are highly myopic and are struggling with whether to have myopia surgery! First of all, let's understand the harms and sequelae of myopia surgery.

The first myopia surgery can only be done once, and the risk is too high.

Second, myopia surgery is not suitable for everyone.

Third, if you do not take care of your eyes in time after myopia surgery, there will be many sequelae, ranging from deepening myopia to blindness in severe cases.

Therefore, myopia surgery is not recommended.

Now that myopia surgery is a normal operation, high myopia also brings trouble to yourself in normal life, so myopia surgery is also an option.

It depends on personal choice, if you want to change your glasses frequently, and the prescription is getting deeper and deeper, it is recommended to have surgery a little better.

After 2 years of struggle, I finally had myopia eye surgery.

After the persuasion of my cousin, they finally agreed to the operation, and ran several hospitals with my parents.

I had a femtosecond surgery, my cousin had a deep myopia, and she had a lens implant. I brushed a lot of ** before doing it, and I was still very entangled and uneasy, after all, it was an operation on the eyeball, and the myopia was 500 degrees, so be careful to sail the ship for ten thousand years.

I checked the information on the Internet for a week, and repeatedly communicated with the doctor who loved to shout Zheng Fanger Ophthalmology before deciding to do the full femtosecond surgery, there is a saying, the doctor is really caring, and listed the things to pay attention to before and after the operation, as well as the charges, and also answered a lot of questions for me, and the whole person was relieved after communication.

The next step is the preoperative examination, except for the visual acuity, intraocular pressure measurement, and ultrasound measurement of corneal thickness, etc., I have never done so many eye examinations.

I was very nervous before the operation, but when it came to the operation, I found that the whole process was not uncomfortable at all, and it was over after a while, if I want to say that the torment must be the three months after the operation, I don't dare to look at the mobile phone for too long, I must pay special attention to avoid water in my eyes when washing my face and bathing, and I can't eat spicy things.

Now I am a young lady who does not wear glasses, it can be said that this operation has changed my life in a certain way, so some people may think it is exaggerated, but the feeling of seeing the "light" again is really good, after taking off the glasses, my whole state is improving, and I am more confident, that is, sometimes I will get up in the morning and habitually look for glasses. The little sisters in the dormitory all said that I looked prettier, and unexpectedly I also gained love, hehe.

At present, there are two main types of surgery, one is corneal refractive surgery, and the other is ophthalmic endoscopic surgery, which are very different in clinical practice.

Corneal refractive surgery with laser mainly acts on the cornea to change the curvature of the cornea. The surgery does not enter the eyeball, so it is relatively safer. If the patient's cornea is thin and the power is high, and surgery through the cornea cannot completely correct myopia, endoscopic surgery may be required.

Endoscopic surgery involves making a very small lens into the patient's eyeball through the patient's spectacle lens. This technique is more complex and requires small glasses and lenses to be placed inside the eyeball, so the risk of surgery is also higher.

High myopia can be operated on, and the most commonly used surgical methods are lens implantation surgery and posterior scleric reinforcement surgery.

High myopia, that is, myopia above 600 degrees, whether it can be done depends on whether it meets the requirements, and the general requirements are roughly as follows: 1. Degree: 75 degrees to 2000 degrees can be considered.

2. Age: There is no strict age limit, generally speaking, the best correction range: 18-55 years old, but there are some special circumstances, minors are also done.

As long as the high myopia is within 1500 degrees, you can go to a regular hospital for surgery. High blood pressure, high blood sugar, heart disease is not possible.

Laser myopia surgery, as a kind of myopia, has been loved by the majority of patients, first of all, let's understand what are the advantages of laser myopia surgery?

Advantages of laser myopia surgery.

Advantages of laser myopia surgery: 1. Direct processing of corneal surface;

Advantages of laser myopia surgery 2: There is no obvious change in the mechanical strength of the cornea after surgery, and the safety is guaranteed;

Advantages of laser myopia surgery 3. It is controlled by computer and has high accuracy;

Advantages of laser myopia surgery: 4. Stable postoperative effect;

Advantages of laser myopia surgery 5, very few complications.

Nowadays, there are indeed many people who are nearsighted, and the younger age is getting worse. So it is important to prevent myopia. The prevention of myopia can be started from many aspects, such as developing good eye habits, not reading in places where the light is too strong or too dark, not being in front of the TV or computer for a long time, etc., in short, let the eyes have enough rest time.

In terms of diet, we should also pay attention to eating more vitamin-rich foods. to outdoor sports, etc. Or use a prosthetic device.

High myopia works best with surgery, and there are currently two good ways:

1. Laser ** myopia, femtosecond is the best.

2. ICL lens implantation.

The main indicators for judging myopia are the degree of refraction and the change of the eye axis, rather than simple vision, which is mainly presented as the prolongation of the eye axis, which is irreversible, so it is impossible to achieve the reduction of myopia in children and adolescents, let alone **.

At present, there are two main types of myopia surgery: laser myopia surgery and ICL lens implantation, no matter which of these two surgical methods, myopia above 600 degrees can be selected, among which ICL lens implantation is a surgical method suitable for high myopia.

Yes, you can go to the hospital for consultation, femtosecond laser is currently divided into two surgical methods: full femtosecond laser and half femtosecond laser, and patients need to go to the ophthalmology department of the local hospital for detailed consultation. If you choose a half-femtosecond laser, its eyes** are about 8,000 yuan; If you choose the full femtosecond laser, its ** is about 18,000 yuan. However, the specific ** will be slightly different from the region and the level of the hospital where the patient is located.

OK. It is generally believed that myopia above 600 degrees is high myopia, and myopia above 1000 degrees is ultra-high myopia, and with the advancement of medical technology, both high myopia and ultra-high myopia can be corrected by surgery.

However, myopia is only a reference index for whether surgery can be done, and many other factors must be considered when the hospital does myopia surgery, such as corneal thickness, whether there is astigmatism, the corner of the eye, whether there are contraindications to surgery, etc., and all conditions are met before myopia surgery can be done.

At present, there are two mainstream myopia correction methods: myopia laser surgery and lens implantation surgery. Among them, myopia laser surgery includes full femtosecond, half femtosecond and T-prk, and half femtosecond surgery has the widest correction range, which can correct ultra-high myopia of up to 1200 degrees; Lens implantation surgery can correct more advanced myopia groups, PRL lens implantation surgery can correct 1000-3000 degree ultra-high myopia group, and Mirror PRL is the only phakic posterior chamber refractive lens with independent intellectual property rights in China, filling the gap of 1800-3000 degree ultra-high myopia correction technology in the world.

High myopia, that is, myopia above 600 degrees, whether it can be done depends on whether it meets the requirements, and the general requirements are roughly as follows:

1. Degree: 75 degrees to 2000 degrees can be considered.

2. Age: There is no strict age limit, generally speaking, the best correction range: 18-55 years old, but there are some special circumstances, minors are also done, including over 60 years old.

3. Ocular conditions: no active ocular lesions and systemic diseases that affect surgical recovery, such as: glaucoma, keratoconus, diabetes and other systemic diseases.

4. Have a reasonable expectation of postoperative visual acuity.

5. The diopter power is stable for more than two years, and the annual power change does not exceed 50 degrees. The comprehensive results of the preoperative examination were qualified.

Contraindications: Relative contraindications: There is related inflammation in the eye, there are related lesions in the fundus that require further **, mild dry eye syndrome, etc., if other data are qualified, there is no problem after the re-examination and it will not affect myopia surgery.

Absolute contraindications: Keratoconus, glaucoma, insufficient corneal thickness, diabetes, collagen disease, etc., these conditions are absolutely not allowed to do this surgery.

Only if the above requirements are met, the surgery can be performed. In addition, even if the surgery is done, attention should be paid to correcting the daily bad eye habits, developing good eye habits, and supplementing the comprehensive nutrition of the eyes with oral oral eye nutrition every day, so as to fundamentally maintain the stability of postoperative vision.

But after all, this is surgery, and there are still certain risks, because there may be some sequelae, so it is still necessary to be cautious!
