How to choose a hospital for myopia surgery

  Nowadays, more and more hospitals can provide excimer laser treatment for myopia, so as myopic friends who want to get rid of their glasses how to choose a hospital to minimize the risk of surgery and ensure the results? The optometrists at the Optometry Clinic of Harbin Medical University remind you that you should consider the following aspects: Professional team and technology First of all, consider the level and nature of the hospital to which it belongs, which should have a team of eye optometry professionals who are leaders in the field. They should have comprehensive knowledge of optometry and treatment techniques, including diagnostic techniques, optometry, surgical techniques, and the ability to determine and treat related complications. Before, during and after your surgery, you will be exposed to the services of many medical professionals. The professionalism of the preoperative examination professionals and nursing staff is critical to the collection of surgical data and the understanding of patient needs for refractive error patients. A complete team of professionals will ensure that you have a successful and pleasant surgical experience.  The surgeon’s professionalism and experience The surgeon should not only be experienced, but should also specialize in optometry and not be a general ophthalmologist. The wealth of experience ensures that the surgeon can handle complex cases and resolve surgical emergencies, and that a professional optometrist can use the results of the preoperative examination to design a more individualized cut for the patient, whereas a general ophthalmologist cannot The preoperative examination results cannot be accurately analyzed by general ophthalmologists. Strict preoperative examination and preoperative design are essential; the accuracy of preoperative examination and reasonable design are important guarantees of surgical results. In order to achieve accurate preoperative examination, it is necessary to rely on optometrists with rich experience and professional knowledge to do the examination, which should fully consider various factors such as the dominant eye, near and far refraction, and binocular visual balance. After a series of accurate preoperative examination and individualized preoperative design to ensure the safety and effect of surgery.  Advanced equipment and strict quality control The hospital you choose must have the world’s most advanced excimer laser treatment equipment, as well as a full set of pre-operative examination equipment. The eyes are precious and delicate and cannot be treated with care. Strict quality control is an important factor in reducing the risks and improving the results of the surgery. As the equipment of excimer laser surgery is constantly updated and improved like other electronic products, one is stability. Outdated surgical equipment can make the laser energy unstable leading to unpredictable results, not to mention the inability to implement individualization such as Q-value guidance and corneal topography online for personalized cutting. Individualized surgery can make the patient’s case to a more suitable surgical method to better results. The second is the spot size, the current machine is a small spot can make the cutting surface more smooth, while the old equipment of the large spot is like the difference between coarse sandpaper and fine sandpaper. There is also the laser speed. The latest equipment will triple the surgery time compared to the past. The benefits of high-speed treatment are: faster healing, easier patient cooperation, fast laser scanning to provide more safety for patients, avoiding corneal astigmatism caused by the patient’s nervous eye gaze not lasting, higher predictability and better surgical results; then there is the new equipment that provides a four-dimensional eye tracking solution, which is safer than the traditional three-dimensional The new device provides a four-dimensional eye tracking solution, which is safer than the traditional three-dimensional tracking system, thus further improving the accuracy of refractive surgery.
