Original title: The boy’s wish for surgery was rejected, and the doctor “subtracted” into “addition” to realize his wish
(Reporter Yu Jinyi, Correspondents Gu Junfang, Wu Xuqing) Envying the “look” and convenience of his wife’s surgery, a man in Wuhan is going to perform “same surgery”. It seems a common operation, but because of his own body Constrained by the conditions, it cannot be realized. On February 27, Wuhan Purui Eye Hospital’s refractive and myopia surgery specialist took a different approach and implanted “contact lenses” in his eyes. The husband and wife achieved the same surgical effect.
Mr. Xia from Wuchang, Wuhan, is 30 years old this year. He has more than 400 degrees of myopia. He has been wearing glasses for nearly 20 years. The thick lenses on the bridge of his nose make him miserable for sports. Four years ago, Mr. Xia’s wife successfully solved the problem of myopia through full femtosecond laser myopia surgery in Wuhan Purui Eye Hospital. After the operation, she could see things more clearly than wearing glasses before. Mr. Xia felt that his wife’s temperament has also improved. Six months ago, the envious Mr. Xia came to the hospital to undergo the same surgery. At the initial examination, he was told that he had intermittent exotropia, which may worsen with age, and that he needed to be treated first. With the encouragement of his wife, Mr. Xia restored his normal eye position through strabismus correction surgery.
On February 14 this year, Mr. Xia came to the hospital again. The results of various examinations were satisfactory, except for the cornea “red light”. The examination showed that Mr. Xia’s corneal thickness was only 482 microns, which was not suitable for laser myopia surgery. Mr. Xia was disappointed again.
“Laser myopia surgery is a ‘subtraction’ surgery. The correction of the degree is achieved by cutting the cornea. The thickness of the cornea of both eyes of a normal person is between 500-550 microns. Mr. Xia’s corneal thickness and degree conversion are not suitable Cut.” Guan Nian, director of the hospital’s refractive and myopia surgery department, decided after comprehensive consideration that Mr. Xia can use “addition” to complete myopia surgery, that is, accurately implant an intraocular lens in the eye, just like implanting a contact lens, to achieve its Desire to take off the mirror.
Mr. Xia regained his confidence after learning about the way of taking off the camera. After more than 20 detailed preoperative examinations, Mr. Xia passed all the examinations and was ready for surgery. “ICL lens implantation surgery is not suitable for everyone. Corneal condition and anterior chamber depth are all considered criteria for surgery.” Guan Nian introduced.
On February 27, Guan Nian performed precise ICL implantation in both eyes. During the operation, under the guidance of navigation, Guan Nian performed the operation under the microscope, from the anterior segment to the fundus of the eye was clearly displayed, and the condition of each part of the eye was checked in real time, so that the lens implantation was more accurate. That day, Mr. Xia could clearly see the surrounding things.
It is reported that Mr. Xia also received 1,000 yuan of assistance for taking off the glasses because he met the assistance conditions of the “Puri Charity Bright Foundation · Sunshine Eye Care Program”. This is a public welfare project carried out by Wuhan Charity Federation for groups with eye health needs in the province. Those who are 3-45 years old with myopia can enjoy public welfare assistance of 200-1000 yuan, and more than 480 patients have benefited.
