Online discussion: Choosing a safe surgical method

(Dan Tri) - As the need for surgery to treat myopia is increasing, especially among young people and office workers, the most concerned question is: "Is myopia surgery really safe?".

Seminar "Choosing a safe surgical method: Expert perspective"

Among a series of methods such as Femto, Smartsight, ReLEx Smile or Phakic ICL, finding a technology that is both safe and ensures quality of vision is a major concern for many people.

To help readers have a correct and comprehensive view, Dan Tri newspaper cooperated with Hong Ngoc General Hospital to organize an online discussion with the topic "Choosing a safe myopia surgery method: Perspective from a refractive expert".

The program brings together two leading experts in the field of refractive surgery, doctors who have performed thousands of successful surgeries, bringing clear vision to many patients.

The first guest is Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Duc Anh, former Head of Refractive Surgery Department, Central Eye Hospital, Senior Lecturer at Hanoi Medical University. The doctor is the first person to research and apply refractive surgery in Vietnam, with more than 30,000 successful surgeries.

Also participating in the program is Dr. Dinh Thi Hoang Anh, Head of the Ophthalmology Department of Hong Ngoc General Hospital, an expert in refractive surgery, lens and corneal diseases; a member of the international professional associations ASCRS and ESCRS.

Dr. Dinh Thi Hoang Anh has won many international awards in ophthalmology, has 4 international articles in leading ophthalmology journals in the US, Europe and Russia; and owns 10 technical patents applied in endothelial corneal transplantation - recognized by the Ministry of Health and the Russian government.

The discussion "Choosing a safe myopia surgery method: Perspective from a refractive expert" was broadcast online on Dan Tri e-newspaper and Dan Tri fanpage at 2:30 p.m. on October 31 (Photo: Dan Tri).

During the discussion, the two doctors will share the development journey of refractive surgery in Vietnam, explain how to choose the right method for each patient and give practical advice on post-operative care and recovery.

Many common questions such as "Will myopia recur after surgery?", "Is it true that eyes weaken over time?", or "Should pregnant women have surgery?" will be analyzed by two experts in an easy-to-understand way, from a scientific and clinical perspective.

In addition to the live discussion, the program also spends time answering questions sent in by readers nationwide, from cases of severe nearsightedness, thin corneas, refractive errors between the two eyes, to cases of recurrent nearsightedness after surgery or vision loss in middle age. Each story is a separate “visual profile”, requiring careful consultation so that patients can clearly understand their condition and choose the most appropriate treatment.

According to experts, myopia surgery is not just a race of technology and equipment, but a journey to find balance for the eyes. In which, modern technology is only a supporting tool, the decisive factor still lies in the doctor's skills, quality control process and the patient's serious cooperation in the post-operative care process.

The program will be broadcast live on Dan Tri e-newspaper and Dan Tri fanpage at 2:30 p.m. on October 31. Readers can send questions in the comment section or fill in the questionnaire below.

We respectfully invite you to join the exchange.
