Many students and beauty-conscious individuals, in pursuit of their dream to get rid of glasses, have gone to hospitals for corrective surgery. As a result, disputes arising from these surgeries have also increased. Experts from the Kjian Weimei Ophthalmology remind consumers to be cautious when considering surgical correction of myopia.
Consumer Ms. Wang reported that with over 300 degrees of myopia, she underwent "Excimer Laser Eye Surgery" at a hospital last October in preparation for the physical examination required for military academy admission. The hospital claimed her vision would recover to 1.0 after the surgery. However, post-surgery, her vision was only 0.36. According to Consumer Association personnel, there are various reasons why the expected results were not achieved after the surgery, including equipment, medical technical level, qualifications, suitability for surgery, and postoperative recovery conditions. In Ms. Wang's case, it was due to not following the doctor's advice for eye care after the surgery, as she did not get adequate rest due to the stress of studying.
Experts from the Kjian Weimei Ophthalmology Hospital remind consumers to take note of the following points when undergoing such surgeries:
1. Before deciding on the surgery, one should inquire in detail from medical management departments about the facilities and medical technical levels of various hospitals, as well as the qualifications of the hospital, such as whether the operating doctor has the necessary certification. After verifying this information online and comparing it, choose a reputable hospital with advanced equipment for the surgery.
2. Do not blindly seek cheap options. The effectiveness of excimer laser surgery is highly dependent on the equipment and the skill of the operator, which determine the price of the surgery. Therefore, do not assume that the cheaper the price, the better the deal.
3. Do not blindly trust false advertisements. Excimer laser surgery is a selective surgery that has strict requirements for the patient's age, eye condition, and overall health. It is not suitable for everyone. Therefore, before the surgery, one must patiently cooperate with the doctor for detailed examinations. If informed that you belong to the contraindicated group, the surgery should be abandoned.
4. Pay attention to postoperative care. The use of medication and hygiene in using eyes after excimer laser surgery plays a key role in stabilizing vision. Consumers are advised to strictly follow the doctor's instructions after the surgery, take medication on time, use eyes scientifically, and pay more attention to eye care.
What nursing care is needed after laser treatment for myopia?
1. After the surgery, wear an eye shield or bandage contact lenses until the review date according to the type of surgery, have regular follow-ups, and use eye drops as required by the doctor. Do not arbitrarily increase or decrease the frequency of medication or stop taking the medicine.
2. It is normal to experience a foreign body sensation and tearing within 3-4 hours after LASIK surgery. Due to individual differences, some patients may feel pain, a foreign body sensation, difficulty opening eyes, and tearing on the night of LASEK surgery and the next day.
3. Avoid washing hair and eyes within three days after the surgery, avoid squeezing eyes forcefully within a week, try to avoid watching TV and computers, avoid using cosmetics within two weeks, abstain from smoking, drinking alcohol, and eating spicy food for a month, avoid excessive eye fatigue, and also avoid eye beauty care. When going out after LASEK surgery, wear polarized glasses to protect against dust and sand entering the eyes.
Therefore, it is essential to go to a professional hospital for myopia surgery.
