dish, the scallion duck is coming again.
Some time ago, I went for myopia surgery that I had been thinking about for a long time. said goodbye to myopia for ten years . Today I want to share this happy event with you.
Before, my colleague also shared that she had 's latest myopia surgery (ICL crystal implantation). Simply put, it is to implant a permanent contact lens into the eyes. Of course, the price is also very expensive. Friends who have not read this article can click here to review
. The myopia surgery I did this time is different from hers. It belongs to the laser type, called " full femtosecond ". It is currently the safest one in myopia surgery except for ICL crystal implantation surgery.
You can see the table below. Please refer to the four most common myopia surgeries on the market in .
. Since the surgery was completed on February 17th, it has been nearly a month since. When myopic colleagues and friends around me will ask me to talk about various problems about the surgery in the first half of the hour. Of course, there are certain concerns with . For example,
so I personally went from to recover from after surgery to . I will share them one by one. I don’t have any medical background, and I just share my experiences from the patient’s personal experience. If you have anything wrong, you can point it out in the comment section. I hope this article can be helpful to everyone~
My history of myopia can be traced back to junior high school. I don’t study well and I like to play computer games and read comic books late at night , which resulted in myopia.
I didn’t expect that myopia glasses have been around for nearly ten years! Although I later changed to contact lenses when I went to college, I took them from 7 or 8 am to before going to bed almost every day, not to mention sometimes going on a dance, and it took nearly 20 hours to go around... causes the eyes to get inflamed . I go to the doctor from time to time to report to my doctor
The reason why I want to have myopia surgery is nothing more than three reasons . I believe many people empathize with
❶ Contact lenses require regular replacement of care fluid and lenses. Sometimes I just have to go out for a day or two and have to carry a small bag of things out. is a thief and .
❷ If you wear contact lenses for too long, it will be very uncomfortable for . All kinds of dry eyes, sensitive, red bloodshot...
❸ And after wearing frame glasses for a long time, 's tear trough is deeper and the eyes are more convex. When I don’t wear glasses, my eyes look dull.
So I have been thinking about surgery for a long time. Since several colleagues around me have had myopia surgery and said that is effective and , I have made up my mind to do it.
But when I really decided to have myopia surgery, I was tortured by my relatives at home. What's wrong with wearing glasses in ? Why do I spend this money?
Isn’t this nonsense?
of course is for beauty! ! !
After making up his mind to have the surgery, the biggest problem is not which surgery is better. It’s about which hospital to go to for examination and surgery. For this reason, I went online to and read a lot of information about . I also consulted friends around who had myopia surgery and came up with some opinions.
If time allows, it is recommended that both public and private hospitals go to consult to compare .
Although public hospitals have good credibility, the assembly line efficiency of " queuing for 2 hours and 5 minutes for " is really crazy.
And now many doctors in public hospitals are hired to private hospitals for treatment. It is said that myopia surgery can be said that 0% relies on instruments and equipment, and 20% relies on doctors .
does not mean that the doctor's level is not important, but those who can perform such surgery are basically experienced veteran drivers, so values the hospital's instruments and equipment more.In addition, out of my desire to love beauty, I went directly to an authoritative private hospital in Shenzhen for surgery. The surgery was performed by German doctors himself
public and private enterprises. I have conducted inspections and comparisons. In my personal opinion, the efficiency and services of private hospitals are much better than those of public hospitals before and after surgery. Of course, you have to do your homework well when choosing a private hospital. Not every company can guarantee " customer first ".
Finally, I compared the charges of public and private enterprises and found that private enterprises would be more expensive , but the deviation is not large.
0 After deciding which hospital to go to, it will be the preoperative examination process.
Because I had an examination in a public hospital, I asked if the private hospital could save the examination steps for the surgery. But the other party said it could be used as a reference, but cannot be used as the inspection report of other hospitals as
, so there is no way to check it again. However, there is a very important prerequisite for preoperative examination, that is, must be stopped wearing contact lenses for at least one week!
If you have worn contact lenses a few days before the examination, will affect the examination results . At that time, the doctor will ask you to wear glasses framed for a while before taking a review.
This preoperative examination includes many items, including vision, intraocular pressure, corneal thickness and shape... and whether there is eye disease , such as acute conjunctivitis, keratitis, severe dry eye disease, etc. If there is eye disease, it needs to be treated first before surgery.
If some systemic diseases are involved, some hospitals refuse to accept it (because the topic is more sensitive, I will not explain it here, you can Baidu on your own).
The entire examination process takes about 2 hours. You can know the results after the examination. The doctor patiently explained my eye condition , and communicated what type of surgery to do, etc.
Fortunately, although I have been wearing contact lenses for 5 or 6 years, and I have had several history of inflammation and bacterial infections in the middle. But after a series of examinations, the doctor said that my eyes were in good condition and the corneal thickness was normal.
I was originally worried that my foundation would have an impact, but after hearing the doctor's words, I wanted to to celebrating on the spot!
After the examination is no problem, arranges the operation time . Generally, hospitals will stipulate what day to what day of the month you can have surgery.
The first three days after confirming the operation time, you must drop eye drops (levofloxacin eye drops) that have the effect of sterilization and anti-inflammatory every day. Make sure that on the day of the operation, there are no temporary emergencies in the eyes
(I was like this at that time)
According to my series of examination results, the doctor said that I can do all four types of surgery, but because my degree is not very high, the left and right eyes are only 300-400 degrees. The doctor ruled out the expensive "crystal implantation" which is more costly than the TransPRK that affects the eyes later.
The last thing you can choose is " half-femtosecond ", " full femtosecond ",
, these two surgeries are also the most popular on the market. The human cornea is divided into 5 layers. To put it simply, the difference between the two surgeries is that
" half-femtosecond " is to make a 20mm incision on your first layer of cornea. After opening it, it dissolves the layer of cornea that causes your myopia, making it less myopia.
" full femtosecond " is to cut a small incision of 2mm on the edge of the cornea, then cut a lens in the middle of the cornea through a laser, and then pull the lens out of the 2mm incision
(white aperture is the surgical incision)
As for how to choose the two surgeries, after listening to the advice of doctor , this is how the two surgeries are judged
• The effects of the two surgeries are basically the same. If you just consider the effect of surgery , the cost of half femtosecond is more cost-effective.
• Because the "half-femtosecond" surgical incision is large, the healing time of will be longer than that of the full femtosecond, and the eyes should be protected more later.If the eye is hit later, it may cause corneal displacement. But the doctor just said it was possible.
• If the cost budget is sufficient, it is recommended to do full femtoseconds. No matter whether you will have the possibility of intense exercise or damage in the future, at least the full femtosecond is safer and is less than a few thousand different prices.
So in the end I chose to do full femtoseconds, and the total cost of is 22,880 yuan (the charges vary slightly from hospital to hospital). This fee includes preoperative examination + surgical fee + late eye drops, etc.
surgery time is scheduled five days after the preoperative examination.
Pre-operative preparations are actually nothing special. The nurse first wiped iodine around my eyes with iodine. After dropped anesthetics 4 times back and forth, she asked me to put on a disposable surgical cap and surgical gown, and then took me into the operating room. After lying on the operating table, she began to accept the doctor's series of commands . Here I directly divided it into several steps
❶ First, use the instrument to support one of your eyes, so that it keeps your eyes open , and then let you stare at the green spots in the instrument with the opened eye.
❷ The next step is to cut the cornea by , and the eyes will gradually blur, like a layer of mist in front of you.
❸ In the last step, the doctor used an instrument to extend into the cornea and pulled out a thin layer of gel-like thing. The surgery was completed in one eye.
❹ Repeat the above three steps with the other eye.
The entire operation process is only... minutes, minutes, no, to
The operation process was not only a little sore in the eyes, but did not feel any pain at all. Moreover, the doctors and nurses around me have always comforted my emotions very considerately, allowing me to relax and follow the steps the doctor said.
originally, without wearing glasses, I looked at , people and animals were not distinguished from , ten meters away. But after walking out of the operating room, I felt that my vision had recovered by about 60%. It was like this. I felt that
. Within a few hours after the operation, my eyes would be particularly sore and would keep crying. So much so that after the operation, I went shopping with my friend, and I kept crying in other people's stores, and the clerk thought what's wrong with me.
The surgery was performed in the afternoon. After the surgery, at night, in addition to not being able to see light and feeling foreign body sensation in the eyes, also did not feel too strong discomfort in . You can also play poker with friends.
Although vision has recovered a lot after the operation, the eyes still feel that is sour and dry , like wearing a pair of contact lenses that hurt the eyes for a long time. So it is recommended that you go home and sleep well, so that you don’t go shopping and play cards like me.
Although the hospital advocates that most daily activities of after the operation are still the same as usual , and you should eat and drink. However, in order to recover later, there are still some special matters that need to be paid attention to
. During the period after the operation, there are actually some uncomfortable things. has a strong discomfort for a few days after . I always feel something in my eyes. The doctor said it is normal, so I don’t need to pay attention.
If you watch the computer for a long time, you don’t pay attention to using your eyes to rest, the visual effect will become a little blurred. And when you arrive at the dim light at night, you will feel like you are watching in the fog of . It is probably like this
However, in nearly a month after the operation, the biggest feeling is that vision is gradually recovering .
The first day after surgery, the eyes recovered to .9 vision .
Re-examination a week later, and his vision recovered to .0 and 1.2. The doctor said that the recovery effect was quite good.
In a few days, it will be a month's review time. Don't ask for too high. I hope that will be stable at 1.2.
As for those that affect after surgery, it has no effect on daily life. The doctor also said that everyone's recovery period is long and short, just pay more attention to using their eyes to rest.
Because of this surgery, friends often come to ask for various questions, so I simply sorted out some common surgery to the doctor and asked a professional doctor to answer it. You can refer to
✍️Q A
Question: Will wearing contact lenses all year round cause the cornea to become thinner?
A: There is no direct effect, the thickness of the eye cornea is innate.
Question: Can astigmatism undergo myopia surgery?
A: Yes, but there are limited types of surgery.
Question: After myopia surgery, can I still wear contact lenses in the future?
A: Yes, but not recommended. Because soft glasses are harmful to the cornea, and you have myopia laser surgery , which itself achieves the treatment purpose by changing the thickness of the cornea. Therefore, the damage to the cornea will be greater with ordinary contact lenses, so it is not recommended.
Question: I want to do half a femtosecond, what requirements do my eyes need to meet?
A: requires a preoperative examination to determine which surgery is more suitable for you. Some people will do full femtoseconds in one eye and half femtosecond in the other eye.
Question: Which myopia surgery is the best at present?
A: Each surgery has its advantages and disadvantages, and you still have to pass the examination and follow the doctor's advice.
Question: Can anyone do myopia surgery?
A: is not. Laser surgery requires that the patient must be over 18 years old and have a stable degree for more than 2 years. If the patient is over 55 years old, the patient is not recommended for surgery.
Question: Are there any side effects of myopia surgery?
A: The risk of surgery is equal for everyone. Although myopia surgery is ultra-minimal invasive, it is not ruled out. Therefore, performing preoperative examinations and postoperative re-examinations can minimize the chance of side effects.
Question: What kind of discomfort will you feel after the operation?
A: Just after the operation, my eyes are still adapting and running-in. Therefore, the eyes will have blurred, sometimes good and sometimes bad vision, decreased vision at night, mild glare, dry eyes and other symptoms. If it is good, it will return to normal in about a week, but if it is long, it will take half a month to a month.
Question: How far can your vision recover after the operation?
A: Everyone's recovery effect is different, and the hospital dares not promise "will definitely be what", but just promises to use the eyes normally.
Question: Will myopia be myopia again after undergoing myopia surgery?
A: For example, if you have 500 degrees of myopia, it is equivalent to correcting your vision (no longer myopia). However, if new myopia may still occur due to lifestyle or other pathological reasons in the later stage. Therefore, it is recommended that the vision amplitude has not deviated greatly in the past two years, and then consider undergoing surgery.
Question: After myopia surgery, can you still do extreme sports such as diving and skydiving?
A: For example, people who have not undergone surgery will feel uncomfortable after diving deep, while those who have undergone surgery may cause secondary damage when the place where the surgery has not healed. Moreover, not every type of surgery supports you to do extreme exercise. The key is to depend on your eye condition and the type of surgery you have.
Question: Why do ophthalmologists perform myopia laser surgery on patients and still wear glasses?
A: There are many reasons, because myopia surgery is a personalized choice, not a surgery that is necessary. After myopia surgery, it has a certain impact on eye use. As ophthalmologists who undergo fine surgery, they must ensure the quality of their eyes. And just like plastic surgeons don’t have plastic surgery all by themselves. In short, it varies from person to person.
or above is the process and feeling of my "full femtosecond myopia surgery". In fact, for this type of surgery, I want to tell you that any surgery has risks. Don't make decisions based on temporary brain fever, and don't believe in the fallacy of relatives and friends, and don't believe in the fallacies of relatives and friends.
The premise is to do your homework and preoperative examinations, and listen to the opinions of professional doctors more .
Several friends around me who have had myopia surgery said that the last thing I regret is that I didn’t do it early!
Don’t have to look for glasses when you get up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet. You can go out for nothing without bringing anything. You can save a lot of money on contact lens care liquid every year... In short, there are too many convenient places to mess with . And... It's really cool to have a life without glasses! ! ! !
