PATIENT REVIEW AFTER 2 YEARS OF PHAKIC SURGERY

Over 9 myopia diops during many years of going to school and working, Huong Giang understands the difficulties of having to depend on glasses and contact lenses. Longing to have healthy eyes, Huong Giang studied very carefully about the treatments of nearsightedness. She decided to have Phakic surgery at Japan International Eye Hospital with the surgeon Dr. Vu Anh. Tuan - Medical Director of the hospital. So after 2 years of nearsightedness surgery, how has Huong Giang's eyesight and life changed? Let's find out right through the article below!

Difficulties while wearing glasses

Huong Giang had to wear glasses for a long time. Until the 12th grade, when she started to pay more attention to her beauty, she completely switched to using contact lenses.

“Everyone knows that if you wear glasses a lot, your eyes will be very lazy. The glasses are thick, covering almost half of my face, so I feel self-conscious whenever I have to wear glasses." - Huong Giang shared.

It was thought that wearing contact lenses would be a long-term and effective solution, but this also brings about as many difficulties and troubles as glasses.

Since wearing contact lenses, Huong Giang's nearsightedness increased rapidly, specifically from 5 to more than 9 degrees. Every morning she wakes up, she also has to struggle and lose time in wearing contact lenses. Huong Giang's eye condition is constantly red and inflamed, causing her to miss many job opportunities. Huong Giang also never dared to go swimming for fear of eye infection. There are many days, she can only wear contact lenses in one eye, the other eye can not see clearly because of inflammation.

Experience Phakic surgery at Japan International Eye Hospital

Because of her high nearsightedness and thin cornea, Huong Giang can only perform Phakic surgery (placement of intraocular lenses) instead of conventional laser methods to prevent high re-occurrence.

“In 2021, very few doctors can perform Phakic surgery. I researched very carefully in all the forums, and finally chose to operate at the Japan International Eye Hospital - the hospital that is at the forefront of this method, and the person who performed the surgery for me was Dr. Tuan - Professional director of the hospital." - Huong Giang shared.

Phakic surgery is a suitable method for eyes with severe myopia, thin cornea. With the mechanism of placing the ICL or IPCL intraocular lens in the position behind the iris and in front of the lens, Phakic surgery offers many outstanding advantages such as:

• Safety: The mechanism of placing the intraocular lens with individual parameters according to each patient's eyes, does not erode the cornea, does not cause dry eyes.
• High treatment threshold: up to 30 degrees nearsightedness, 15 degrees far, 10 degrees astigmatism.
• Flexible: The lens is highly biocompatible, can stay in the eye for a long time, but can also be removed when directed by a doctor.
• Optimal for eyes: UV-blocking ICL lenses for maximum eye protection; Full HD visual quality.

Huong Giang excitedly shared about her experience of having nearsightedness surgery, taking off her glasses: “What I am most impressed with at the hospital is a very thorough examination, that is, an in-depth examination. Modern and clean facilities. Occasionally there is a chance to see a Japanese doctor. There is also a "million dollar" view overlooking West Lake, Truc Bach Lake is super beautiful.

However, with this method, the hospital will have to order its own lenses according to its eye parameters abroad. I have to wait for the lens to return to Vietnam before I can do the surgery, so the cost is a bit higher than conventional lasik surgery. I remember the surgery only lasted for 15-20 minutes. Especially, my surgery process will be streamed to the outside for my family to watch and email me to watch again."

Life is very good after removing glasses

After 2 years of Phakic surgery, Huong Giang's eyesight reached 12/10. Experience the Japanese standard surgery service, regaining the free eye to bring stable and excellent visual quality far beyond her expectations.

“When I go out on the street, I also like to read billboards, the smaller the text, the more I like it. Say goodbye to contact lenses or inflammation, red eyes. Truly the best investment experience of a lifetime! It is often said that "were rich in eyes", must have good eyes to see everything around clearly, have a convenient and full life. I regret not having surgery sooner, maybe shortening the period of struggling youth and opening up many opportunities for me." - Huong Giang shared.
