Aunt Zhang, 61, is a patient troubled by cataracts.
's vision declined at first, but she didn't pay attention to it. As time went by, 's vision became more and more blurry, and then she felt the need to go to the hospital.
When he was diagnosed with cataracts in the hospital and needed surgery, the old man felt timid, "I can still see now, but what if I can't see after surgery?"
Out of resistance to surgery, he was afraid of artificial "parts" It is not as reliable as the original , and the elderly have always been reluctant to undergo surgery.
In June this year, accompanied by her children, Aunt Zhang came to Changsha Aier Eye Hospital . After communicating with Dr. Tang Qiongyan, vice president of the hospital and director of the cataract department, she slowly felt confident.
Dr. Tang Qiongyan told her: Traditional cataract surgery requires the use of a scalpel to make incisions, capsulorhexis forceps, and needles to chop the core. It relies heavily on the doctor's experience. Any negligence will cause irreparable consequences.
However, with the development of modern medical technology, the accuracy and safety of cataract surgery have been improved. Today's femtosecond laser cataract surgery is assisted by computer scanning imaging technology throughout the entire process, making the surgery highly accurate, safe and more reliable.
The femtosecond laser uses computer guidance to make corneal incisions, capsulorhexis, and core fragmentation according to parameters. The entire process only takes 30 to 50 seconds, and the entire operation time is also shortened to 15 to 20 minutes..
After detailed communication, Aunt Zhang finally made up her mind and decided to undergo surgery.
The whole process went smoothly. The preoperative visual acuity was 0.25. On the second day after the operation, the gauze was removed and the visual acuity reached 1.2.
One week after the operation, Aunt Zhang came to the cataract specialist clinic for a review. She recovered well after the operation and her vision was stable.
Aunt Zhang joked: "Now my eyesight is better. I can see myself so clearly. I feel a lot older. I didn't care about my hazy eyesight before. It seems I need to take care of myself!"
