How it feels after LASIK excimer laser surgery

Well, friend, you're lucky that you haven't done it yet, at least, and you still have a chance to judge. Eyesight doesn't seriously affect your life, so I suggest you don't do it.

There are more than 300 complications after surgery, dry eyes, double vision, night blindness, blurred vision, more than that, these are the mild, not serious, and the postoperative eyes are more fragile, you have to take extra care of it, if you are not careful, you will regret it for life.

There are also many patients who do it well, but not everyone is so lucky.

According to **, the United Kingdom has stopped excimer surgery, and the British health department has announced that after a year of research report, there are unsafe factors in laser vision correction surgery. The failure rate of the procedure was 1 in 10, not 1 in 1,000 as some ads suggested, the report said. Surgery can also cause complications that necessitate corneal transplantation.

And after decades there are unavoidable sequelae, glaucoma, cataracts, retinal detachment, etc., based on this, the British health authorities do not plan to undergo this surgery. This report attracted the attention of relevant departments in the United States, and the excimer surgery was immediately controlled. Regarding the warning of the British health department, the relevant departments of my country have responded relatively flatly.

Chinese The difference between developed and developing countries lies in the fact that developed countries work for the benefit of the common people, while developing countries are constantly squeezing benefits from the common people.

Here I just want to appeal to everyone to be cautious when doing excimer surgery, experts don't pay attention to complications, you have to pay attention to yourself, I hope you can join me in calling for not to hurt our beautiful eyes anymore.

Phantom, ghosting - it means astigmatism.

Lying down, standing – seeing things inconsistently, it may be astigmatism, or it may be a slight deviation of the surgical cut.

We can only hope that it will be possible to recover in the future. Shiming Doushen can't accept it, and can only solve it by wearing glasses.

Other symptoms may also include: dry eyes, glare at night (double vision of LEDs in a dark environment, it may be glare). Both of these symptoms are inevitable.

One month is still in the recovery period, and there is a possibility of double vision after surgery, but it is best to go back to the hospital for examination.

As far as the surgical method is concerned, there are fewer complications after femtosecond LASIK. Hurry up and review.

I'll give you a simple picture.

The doctor also said that your glare is caused by large pupils. On the other hand, of course, it is caused by the small spot cut during surgery.

When the corneal tissue is cut, a cut edge (shown by the red coil) is formed. This uneven edge is exposed to the pupil, and light comes in, and because the edge is not smooth, it refracts, causing glare.

Having said that, as for whether you can enlarge the light area, you have to check to be sure. Do you still have 520 degrees of myopia after surgery? You need to check what the thickness of your cornea is, what range your pupil diameter is, and finally develop a personalized cutting plan.

However, with a corneal thickness of 510um, even if you have two surgeries, you can't correct the refraction, and you can only enlarge the spot area.

As one of the most mature and mainstream corneal refractive surgeries, LASIK is unquestionable for its safety and reliability. However, this does not mean that LASIK is free of risks (i.e., complications), and possible complications of LASIK include: infection, undercorrection or overcorrection, corneal perforation, iatrogenic corneal astigmatism, secondary keratoconus, corneal flap irregularities, flap free, epithelial implantation, glare, and so on.

Most of these complications, if detected in time and properly managed, will not leave sequelae and will not affect the efficacy. However, some complications do prevent vision recovery, such as preoperative myopia and postoperative hyperopia; If the cornea is too thin due to surgery, it cannot be remedied by reoperation. For example, corneal perforation during surgery or severe keratoconus after surgery may cause patients to have to undergo corneal transplantation, which will bring new troubles and troubles to patients and cause adverse consequences.

As we all know, the vast majority of patients undergoing LASIK surgery are young and middle-aged people over 18 years old, and they are in an important stage of life with a bright future, once serious complications occur, affecting the patient's vision, it will cause new or even greater pain to the patient, so both doctors and patients should be fully aware of the possible risks of LASIK, and carefully choose surgery and perform surgery. In addition to the above complications, LASIK postoperatively corrected visual acuity loss, night glare, vision quality deterioration, night vision loss and other disadvantages are also common. Foreign data show that up to 30% of patients who have difficulty driving at night after LASIK surgery!

It has been proved that the safety of surgery and the improvement of naked eye vision alone can no longer meet the visual requirements of modern patients with refractive error.

How can these complications that may accompany LASIK surgery be prevented and eliminated?
