Eye treatment by laser according to the corneal map

For the first time, the corneal laser technique was applied in Vietnam to adjust the " malfunctions " due to lasik surgery such as eccentricity, irregular astigmatism, the old laser area was too small to make the shadow look. .

According to Dr. Phan Hong Mai, Department of Refractive Surgery in Ho Chi Minh City, so far, many patients have lasik surgery but the results are not perfect. They encounter " malfunctions " such as: eccentricity, irregular astigmatism, the old laser area is too small to make the shadow look, flashed. This is a consequence of the young technician's skill, the identification machine does not accurately locate the need for surgery, laser irregularity .

In Vietnam, lasik surgical techniques began to apply since 2000, through many generations of Laser Excimer machines. The 5 MEL 80 generation machine is the latest and only it features laser treatment according to the corneal map, Dr. Mai said.

The first patient " corrected " by this method had lasik surgery 3 times before, but was eccentric because the technician had fired an incorrect laser beam to make the patient shine, looking at the shadow. The cost of adjustment is equal to the cost of a new operation.

The results of lasik surgery also depend on the model. Same condition, same surgeon but if surgery on 2 different generations, the results may be different. A survey of nearly 200 patients showed that, Dr. Mai added.
