Many famous doctors in Zhongshan Ophthalmology Center join

The minimum surgery patient is only 6 years old, which is a special case

The number of myopia in my country has reached 400 million, the prevalence of 33%, and 90%of teenagers suffer from close vision, but only about 80 million people are truly suitable for refractive surgery. How is this going? Professor Liu Quan, Vice President of Purieo Eye Group and Chief Expert of Kuangwan District Kwen Surgery, explained in an interview that he has worked at Zhongshan Eye Center for more than 30 years and has been diagnosed with many patients who want to do surgery. For these patients, he not only had to conduct detailed inspections to determine whether they were suitable for surgery, but also had full communication with them to see if they had a strong willingness to perform surgery. "Surgical correction myopia is icing on the cake. If the patient can accept frame glasses, I generally don't recommend them to have no surgery." Professor Liu Quan said.

Popular science lecture on the day

The indications of surgical correction myopia also include 18 years of age, the number of myopia is stable, and the annual progress is less than 50 degrees. The setting of the 18 -year -old age division is also considered to have stabilized after the age of 18. "But this is not absolute. The smallest patient I have done is only 6 years old. She has a myopia as high as 600 degrees and merged with amblyopia, but the other eye is completely myopia, so I can't match glasses. After that, I was uncomfortable and could not study and live normally. Myopia surgery was giving me charcoal for her. "

Eyes have a large vision, which benefits more

Another indicator of myopia surgery is that the refractives of both eyes are different (200 degrees or more in the difference). Professor Liu Quan explained that patients with myopia with the same number of myopias can not perform myopia surgery, but patients who have different myopia patients are prone to eye fatigue, even eye pain, headache, etc. For the crowd, the surgery is more beneficial.

Other indications also include: the eye does not have mobilized diseases, such as inflammation, severe dry eye disease, etc.; Eye parameters meet the surgical conditions, such as conical cornea are not suitable; diseases that have no surgical restrictions in the whole body.

Can't blindly look forward to the correction of the view after surgery to 1.5

Professor Liu Quan also added that if patients are expected to be too high in the results of vision correction after surgery, it is not suitable for surgery.

He explained that some patients were looking forward to the vision of both eyes after surgery, but many of them could not reach 1.5 vision after surgery. For example, there will be individual differences in the healing of different personal constitutions; in addition, the fineness of each person's cerebral cortex is different. For this part of the patient, they cannot reach 1.5 vision wearing frame glasses. Professor Liu Quan introduced that according to his surgical cases for so many years, the vision correction after surgery reached 1.2 as the vast majority. The quality standards of Prove to the quality standards of myopia surgery implement the visual quality of the full life cycle, the field of view of the full visual scenario, and the effect of the whole visual (far, medium, and near).
