So far, the issue of vision weakening (the rapid development of different ophthalmic diseases) in people of different ages is very acute. All are blaming a sloppy attitude towards health and excessive load into the organs of the vision. Computers, tablets, phones, televisions and electronic books - all of this can not only simplify life, but on the contrary, harm.
Fortunately, science does not stand still and the previous diseases have given birth to treatment, now you can eliminate almost no consequences and complications.
Laser visual repairLaser visual repair is an opportunity not only to give up glasses and contact lenses, but also an effective and safe way to preserve vision in old age.
Advantages of this procedure:
Safety. The relatively low probability of developing serious complications.
Effective for any violation. Activities are performed not only to improve vision and escape from optics. In some cases, laser correction cannot be distributed (this applies to diseases leading to blindness).
No pain. Before starting the procedure, the patient was buried in anesthesia, so the maximum level that the patient may feel easily discomfort at certain surgical interventions.
Continuous. The procedure lasts a minute, the main time is for preparation.
Short recovery time. In this case, no design in the hospital. The procedure is carried out on the basis of outpatient and after the patient can go home.
Stability and prediction. How effective it will always be known to the doctor before. The results still exist for a long time (the exception may be the presence of nearsightedness in patients).
The choice of an expert and the location of the surgery is always behind the patient. The price of the doctor's procedure and services in private clinics may vary. Their formation is affected by many factors. Therefore, it is worth spending time finding information and clarifying all the questions of interest first.
SurgeryThere are several adjustment methods. Each of them has their own advantages and disadvantages. List of laser adjustments:
Laser (Subepithelial) Keratomilesis;
Keratectomy refractive image;
Femtosecond lkz.
Keratectomy refractive photo (Federal Migration Service) for the first time spent a few decades ago in Germany. Use this process, contact the cornea with a dance laser. Testimonies to proceed are astigmatism, myopia and farsightedness.
A significant drawback of the photo -cutting surgery method is a long and uncomfortable recovery time. In addition, the vision after the procedure does not return immediately, but gradually, complications are possible. Therefore, they only use it when modern and other effective methods are contraindicated.
Laser under the Keratomilesis layer (Lasek). Unlike the previous method, during operation, the surface corneal layer does not occur, it only moves to the side. The recovery time lasts less with the federal migration service.
Keratomilesis Laser (LASIK). Currently, this is the most safe and effective way to adjust the vision. The recovery time is short, vision has improved in the first hours after surgery.
Femtosecond Lec (Femo Lasik) is one of the modifications of the Lasik method, helping to achieve perfect results. Risks are reduced, vision profits and recovery time do not last long. In addition, this method is less contraindicated than conventional laser adjustment. The procedure can be carried out for patients even with "dry eye syndrome".
There are also other modifications of the main methods. The choice of the most appropriate method in a specific situation is done by a doctor.
Indications and contraindicationsFix laser vision errors, like any other procedure, indicated and contraindicated. Indications are divided into two types: health and professional.
A medical sign to adjust laser vision is the presence of such violations on one eye (the remaining well):
Increase vision;
astigmatism;
short-sighted.
Professional indication (specialty is not suitable for wearing lenses or glasses):
Fireman;
police;
army;
People working in the industry (where there are dust, smoke and other adverse factors).
Contraindications are relative and absolute. Absolutely include:
Autoimmune disease;
immunodeficiency;
The disease affects the processes and cure rates after surgery;
the presence of only one eye in the patient;
nearsightedness (progress);
Herpesvirus infection;
retinal peeling;
The thinness of the cornea.
List of relative contraindications:
Diabetes;
mentality;
Nursing pregnancy;
Heart problems in patients (the presence of a pacemaker);
Eye disease is inflamed;
Scars in the cornea (shell);
Change in retina and Fundus.
Activities are strictly prohibited to carry out people under 18 years old. This is due to physiological characteristics (not completely formed by eyeball).
Prepare to adjust laserWhen operating to restore the prescribed vision, the ophthalmologist recommends that you perform a number of tests and follow certain rules. You may also need a advice from other experts: therapist, endocrinologist, cardiologist, etc. v.
The analysis must be carried out before the procedure:
General blood test;
General urine analysis;
HIV analysis;
Analysis for syphilis;
Analysis of hepatitis;
Compound.
The list of recommendations is very important to be done to be hospitalized with surgical intervention:
Stop wearing contact lenses (need to do this one to two weeks before surgery);
Refuse a few days before doing procedures from alcoholic beverages and alcohol -containing drugs;
Put yourself in the order before the procedure;
Breakfast on the day of the designated day will be easy;
Can not makeup on the face and perfume for the body before surgery;
Need to buy and bring sunglasses with you (they will be needed after the procedure and during recovery);
Should bring a close person to him to improve laser vision, who will remember all the doctor's recommendations on the time after the surgery will help home, and for the first time will take care of the patient.
The implementation of these conditions is very important, because the success of the procedure and the final result depends on this.
How to carry out the procedureAlmost all types of laser adjustments are made in 3 main stages. If we talk about the most effective, popular and most common LASIK procedure, it is as follows:
The first stage. A laser or microcarath creates a flap on the cornea surface and takes it aside.
The second phase. There is a change in the shape of the cornea with a laser beam (it must correspond to the patient's individual parameters).
The third stage. The flap is brought back to the starting position and is brought up.
Many people heard that patients were sealing their eyes during surgery. There are times when the patient wakes up during the process and injury is possible. In this situation, the eyes are not sealed in the laser adjustment process, because the anesthetic drops are absorbed before the procedure and the operation itself lasts only a few minutes, so such measures are excessive.
Time after surgeryTime after surgery is conducted. But after adjusting the laser by Lasik, the patient felt an improvement in the early days and did not feel uncomfortable.
After surgical intervention, it is necessary to clarify once again about all possible complications, ask interesting questions, listen to the main recommendations.
The list is close to the actions during the postoperative period (the time of this period depends on many factors):
You can only sleep on your back;
It is necessary to visit an ophthalmologist on the gathering day;
After surgery, sunglasses need to be placed on the street (they protect from dust, infection and small particles in the eyes);
You cannot touch your hand on the active place;
The prescribed drugs must be strictly used in time and with the number specified;
It is better not to wash the head in the first days after surgery;
You can only wash with pure or boiled water;
For a while, you should give up the use of care and decoration cosmetics;
It is important to make physical efforts for a period of time (the doctor must report the end of the restrictions at the reception after the examination);
You cannot visit the sauna, pool and other public places where you can catch an infection;
Need to reduce the load on the eye (refuse to read, watch TV, use phones and long -term tablets);
It was banned from driving during the surgery;
If it hurts or feels strong, it is necessary to contact an expert.
There are some nutrition recommendations. Because laser correction still has surgery, and therefore a certain stress for the body, you need to eat properly.
As in any other period, food should be helpful and contain essential vitamins. To improve vision, eat fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins A and C.
For this, they fit:
Fruits and berries: blueberries, apricots, peaches, kiwi, etc. v. ;
Vegetables: Broccoli, carrots, tomatoes, pumpkins;
dairy products (paintings);
Fish: Salmon, mackerel;
Meat: chicken, rabbit, Türkiye;
Offal (kidney and liver);
Eggs (yolks).
During the postoperative period, it was banned from drinking alcohol and should give up smoking.If health worsens strongly in the first weeks after surgery and needs to prescribe supplements, the doctor should be mentioned about the recent laser adjustment.
Risks and consequences of operationDespite the fact that the laser adjustment in principle does not bring any serious danger, there are situations when complications are still arising and they lead to uncomfortable consequences. The doctor and patient, agreeing with the activity, must be mentioned at the reception, must be ready for possible risks.
A list of possible complications during operation:
The horn shell may be obscured;
vision may decrease;
The image may start doubling;
Astigmatism develops.
Such issues may arise for many reasons: lack of experience and professionalism in doctors, the tools are selected incorrectly or adjustment methods, technical reasons, etc. v.
Complications may occur after surgery:
Swelling, inflammation, itching, pain and burning;
allergic reactions to the drug;
Lack of improvement or recession;
Blind (caused by personal intolerance).
Some problems may not occur immediately, but some time after surgery:
the return of ophthalmic diseases (lack of effective treatment);
Dry eye syndrome;
Pathological processes affect the cornea (keratoconus, erosion, etc. ).
Laser adjustment methods have both advantages and disadvantages. To decide this procedure or not is the case of everyone. In some cases, it helps improve the quality of life (help you walk without glasses and lenses), and sometimes save from blindness.
Surgical activityAlthough the high level of laser correction, there are situations when you simply cannot do without other microsurgical activities. They save from the blindness of patients with glaucoma, cataracts and various retinal diseases. And there are also some advantages and disadvantages.
To prevent cataracts, the activities are performed to remove the lens and its replacement with a lens. Micro surgery is also capable of dealing with retinopathy. To do this, doctors achieve its complete suitability with fabrics (objects) or remove scars and fabrics from glass body with signs of pathological changes. Tabeal hypertrophy is won by surgery to restore liquid balance in the organ.
Such procedures (surgical intervention) are widely used: :
Keratoplasty (through this process, the functions and shapes of the cornea are restored);
SCLEROPLASTY (an activity that helps suspend myopia progress);
Lens implant (Fakid): increasing vision and nearsightedness;
Vitrect surgery (during this process, the pathological processes in the retina are removed)
Cut the lens (during the surgery, the lens is removed and replaced by the intraocular lens).
Operating intervention may be crazy or superficial. Laser adjustment refers to the type of surface and operation to remove cataracts into the band.
Surgical intervention came to rescue when adjusting the laser was banned or unable to deal with a serious ophthalmology (cataract, glaucoma, etc. ).Therefore, if the doctor insists on the surgery to combat the disease, he needs to trust him.
Treatment of ophthalmic diseases is rarely cheap, and this is not due to the desire of the doctors to earn as much money as possible. This is due to the high cost of the material and equipment that the treatment is done. The permanent problem is also a decision to choose a clinic: private or state. In this case, it is difficult to predict. Doctors from the state clinic may have more experience and he performs all the processes effectively and confidently, and the doctor from a private clinic has more conditions to work successfully (modern equipment). Some doctors work simultaneously in private clinics and state, so you do not need to focus on service prices. The presence of positive reviews and recommendations is much more important.
