Cataract Surgery at Aier East
东区爱尔白内障手术
Procedures at Aier East
东区爱尔白内障术式
At Aier East, there are two main types of surgical procedures of cataract surgery, conventional/manual phacoemulsification and femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery.
在成都东区爱尔眼科医院，白内障手术患者可以选择传统超声乳化白内障手术或者飞秒辅助的超声乳化白内障手术。
Manual cataract surgery involves the creation of corneal incisions with a keratome blade, a continuous curvilinear capsulorrhexis using forceps, and manual splitting or cracking of the nucleus followed by phacoemulsification and cortical aspiration.
传统白内障手术包括使用角膜刀进行角膜切口、使用晶体撕囊镊连续撕囊，手动劈核之后进行超声乳化和皮质抽吸。
Femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery is a technology that uses a laser to replace the manual steps of cataract surgery with the goal of improving accuracy, safety, and refractive outcomes. Compare to manual procedure, the unique femtosecond laser reduces collateral damage to ocular tissues, has faster post-surgery healing and result in less astigmatism due to accurate and smooth cutting surface.
而飞秒辅助的白内障手术利用飞秒激光取代了传统白内障手术中的一些手动步骤从而是手术更加精确、安全以及获得更好的术后视觉质量。相对于传统白内障手术，独特的飞秒激光技术减少了对眼组织的间接伤害，术后恢复更快，散光更小。
Before Surgery
术前
Before the cataract surgery, doctor will run a comprehensive eye exam to check the overall health of patient’s eyes, evaluate whether there are reasons why patient should not have surgery and identify any risk factors patient might have.
白内障手术前，医生需要为患者做一系列检查，全面评估患者眼睛情况，以排除不适合手术的指征以及任何风险。
Series examinations including integrated optometry test also will be performed to accurately determine the amount of nearsightedness, farsightedness and/or astigmatism patient has prior to surgery. Patient’s corneal curvature and length of eyeball will also be measured.
患者还需要接受综合检查以确定术前的近视、远视以及散光度数。患者的角膜及眼轴也会经过测量。
With all the data ready at hand, doctor will discuss with you your choices of the intraocular lens type in order to give you the best vision possible after surgery depending on your specific needs.
当所有检查结果在手，医生会与患者深入交流，听取患者对术后视力的需求及生活方式，帮助患者确定人工晶体。
Part-time use of reading glasses is needed after cataract surgery with monofocal IOLs while that with multifocal, or trifocal IOLs provides a greater range of vision after cataract surgery than conventional monofocal IOLs. Though people may all like the idea of being less dependent on glasses, not everyone is good candidate for these premium, also more expensive IOLs.
人工晶体中，选择植入单焦点人工晶体的患者术后会看近会需要戴眼镜，而一些多焦人工晶体则可以提供较大范围的视觉能力，极大减少患者术后对眼镜的依赖。然而并不是人人都适合多焦晶体植入，需由检查决定是否适合。此类晶体价格也高于单焦点晶体。
About the Surgery
关于手术
When patient decides to go on with Aier East for cataract surgery, the following will happen:
如果患者决定在东区爱尔接受白内障手术，请注意下列事项：
1. Patient visit hospital for the pre surgery evaluation/consultation. Doctor helps patient decide the right and desirable type of IOLs according to patient’s eye condition and the post-surgery vision expectations.
患者来院进行术前检查。必要检查后，医生会与患者交流，根据患者眼睛情况及术后预期帮助确定晶体。
2. Once patient decides on the IOLs, surgery day will be scheduled. If patient chooses to use monofocal IOLs, the surgery is usually scheduled on the following day. If patient choose to use multifocal/trifocal IOLs or the type with astigmatism, surgery will usually happen in 3days because the IOLs need to be customized. The pre surgery examinations can either be done on the same day of the consultation day or the day before surgery day. Admission papers needs to be done before patient leaves hospital.
确定好晶体后安排手术日。如果患者选择单焦点晶体，手术通常可以第二天进行。如果患者选择多焦/三焦晶体，或者有必要使用戴散光的晶体，手术通常需要安排在三天之后，以便定制晶体。晶体和手术日期确定后，当天可以完成剩余的所有检查并办理入院。
3. If patient choose not to stay in the hospital the night before surgery, patient has to make sure to fast since 10:00pm and arrive at the ward at 8:00am, so blood samples can be delivered to the lab at in time and surgery can happen as schedule.
如果患者希望手术当日再来院, 应确保早上8点空腹到达病房，以便及时进行血检。
4. Patient stays overnight after surgery for post observation with surgical eye patched and will be discharged with eye patch removed the following morning if doctor finds everything ok in the morning round check.
术后当晚患者应住院留观，第二天早晨查房检查一切正常后可取下术眼包扎并出院。
