Can corneal transplantation treat myopia?

summary

The structure of human eyeball is very complicated. Light needs to pass through the cornea, lens and vitreous body to reach the retina, and then pass through the optic nerve to transmit the signal to the visual center of the brain to form an image, and then we can see things. Any problem in this process may lead to blindness. Corneal transplantation is only effective for blindness caused by keratopathy. Now I would like to share with you that corneal transplantation can treat myopia?.

Can corneal transplantation treat myopia?

First: in fact, the transplantation technology is relatively mature. It takes about an hour for one eye. " The whole process of corneal transplantation, popularly speaking, is to cut off the diseased part of the cornea, and then "sew" the healthy part of the cornea. The suture is too thin to be seen by the naked eye and must be operated under a microscope.

Second: the cornea has no vascular tissue, poor metabolism, slow growth and poor resistance. Therefore, the sutures after corneal surgery are generally removed gradually from 6 to 12 months after surgery. In this process, we need to cooperate with the doctor to apply eye drops or eye ointment every day, and individual patients need to cooperate with oral drugs, in order to ensure the success of the operation.

Third: if the patient suddenly has redness, pain, eye distension, blurred vision, continuous tears or foreign body sensation (intraocular friction) and other phenomena after surgery, he should go to the hospital immediately to check, so as not to delay the treatment.

matters needing attention

Do not lower your head and wash your hair within a week after the operation. Do not shower or swim within a month to avoid infection caused by dirty water in your eyes. Keep your eyes clean. Patients need long-term eye drops after discharge. It should be noted that in order to prevent the occurrence of immune rejection, patients should remember to review regularly.
