Why is surgery at FV Hospital different?

Refractive correction surgery needs a sterile environment using modern technologies, ensuring safety by eye care experts to avoid complications, especially corneal scars. At FV, we take pride in being a reliable address with outstanding advantages:

  • All procedures are performed by expert Dr Nguyen Thi Mai – Head of Ophthalmology and Refractive Surgery who has successfully completed over 30,000 refractive surgeries.
  • Always update and apply modern, advanced technologies.
  • Examination and surgery processes follow JCI international safety standards.
  • Operating room environment meets international quality standards, ensuring almost absolute sterility.
  • No need for convalescence with quick recovery time of just 3-7 days;
  • Safe and accurate with modern equipment;
  • Long-term efficiency;
  • Free 4 post-surgery follow-ups.

At FV, you will experience the difference in the in-depth preoperative examination process, which accurately determines the refractive error, corneal thickness, eye parameters, and evaluates the eye condition using modern devices exclusive to FV. This is considered a screening step to detect congenital eye diseases in the early stages, such as cone-shaped cornea or contraindicated conditions for surgery that conventional machines cannot detect. It is also the basis for doctors to choose the appropriate surgical method, avoid complications, and ensure the safety of patients.

FV is one of the few hospitals in Vietnam equipped with a macular map examination combined with the measurement of corneal biomechanical strength using the Oculus Corvis ST and Oculus Pentacam AXL machines. This ensures our doctors accurately determine indices such as sustainability, hardness, and elasticity of the cornea, even in the latent stage. Consequently, doctors can easily assess the condition of the cornea for each patient before and after surgery.

In addition to a team of specialised and experienced doctors and modern equipment, FV is one of the few hospitals with infection control and patient safety procedures that meet JCI international standards. This helps our patients avoid the risk of cross-infection and feel more reassured when visiting FV for examination and treatment.

LATEST TREATMENT METHODS

SMARTSURFACE

SmartSurfACE combines the benefits of touch-free TransPRK surface treatment to help adjust the cornea and restore vision without suction or creating a corneal flap. Innovative SmartPulse Technology helps to smooth the surface of the cornea and the recovery time is also shorter than traditional treatment of refractive errors.

Advantages:

  • No suction, no corneal flap
  • Safe, gentle, fast vision recovery
  • High corneal stability, maximum preservation of the biomechanical properties of the cornea
  • Short procedure time of just a few minutes.
  • Save time and money
  • Less risk of dry eyes after surgery.

Subjects:

  • People aged 18 years and older
  • Refraction has been table for 12 months
  • No history or findings of corneal disease
  • No serious medical problems or illnesses, such as previous corneal ulcers, diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration or glaucoma
  • No chronic dry eyes
  • Not pregnant or breastfeeding.

Procedure:

  • Step 1: First use anaesthetic eye drops
  • Step 2: Use an excimer laser on the outermost layers of the cornea to correct vision
  • Step 3: Use Smart Pulse technology to smooth the corneal surface to help restore vision quickly
  • Step 4: Procedure is complete in just a few minutes.

CLEAR

Advantage:

  • No corneal flap to maximize corneal surface preservation
  • The treatment method by eXTRActing corneal tissue with the cutting line is only 1/10 compared with conventional techniques, optimally shortening the surgery time
  • Minimize the risk of dry eyes after refractive surgery
  • Less inflammatory response, faster vision recovery time
  • Can choose many different incisions

Subjects:

  • People aged 18 years and older
  • Maximum nearsightedness -10 Diop, maximum disturbance 5 Diop. Refraction is stable for at least 6 months (do not increase by more than 0.75 Diop)
  • Normal corneal structure (no scarring, not cone-shaped), cornea is not too thin
  • No acute or chronic eye disease such as infection, eye injury, retinopathy, cataract
  • People who are not subject to contraindications to refractive surgery.

Procedure:

  • Step 1: The patient is disinfected eyes and numbed the surface before the surgery
  • Step 2: Then the Z8 Femtosecond laser shines through the corneal surface, separating the core in the middle
  • Step 3: The surgeon will make 2 small cuts (about 2mm) on the edge of the cornea with a laser, then withdraw the core tissue through the surgical wound, minimizing the invasion of the corneal surface.
  • Step 4: The surgery takes about 10-15 minutes.

FEMTO-SECOND LASIK

Advantage:

  • High level of safety
  • Eyesight is restored immediately after surgery.

Subjects:

  • People aged from 18 with myopia, hypermetropia, or astigmatism with stable refraction.
  • Specially applied to people with high degree of refraction and thin corneas.

Procedure:

  • Step 1: Creating a thin flap in the cornea using the Femtosecond Laser, then flipping the cornea flap to expose the parenchyma beneath.
  • Step 2: Using excimer laser to reshape the cornea beneath the flap and correct the refraction.
  • Step 3: Repositioning the corneal flap.

TRADITIONAL LASIK

Advantage:

  • Duration of operation: 15 mins
  • Laser exposure time: tens of seconds for each eye.

Subjects:

  • People aged from 18 with myopia, hypermetropia, or astigmatism with stable refraction.

Procedure:

  • Step 1: Creating a thin flap in the cornea using a computer-controlled surgical blade, then flipping the cornea flap to expose the parenchyma beneath.
  • Step 2: Using the excimer laser, pulses of light are directed at the eye to reshape the cornea.
  • Step 3: Repositioning the corneal flap.

CROSSLINKING

For a long time, collagen has played a key role in the cosmetic medical field. Collagen acts as the glue that holds our tissues together as well as giving strength and flexibility to our bodies. The corneal collagen crosslinking technique (CXL) has been developed to form strong chemical bonds between collagen fibrils and adjacent fibrils, aiming to increase corneal biological flexibility for bright and healthy eyes.

In Vietnam, only a few medical facilities, including FV Hospital, are able to perform SmartSurfACE XTRA, CLEAR XTRA, Femtosecond LASIK XTRA, and LASIK XTRA surgeries based on the corneal crosslinking technique – a minimally invasive surgical option which does not cause pain and offers a high degree of safety.

This method is recommended for patients with keratoconus and postoperative corneal edema.

CXL is effective in treating patients with high degree myopia and thin corneas. It helps to increase the cornea’s durability after undergoing refractive correction surgery, reduces the threat of corneal edema and stabilizes the eye’s refractive status.
