What is perfection?
There are many perfectionists in the hospital workplace who strive for perfection in everything. Whether it is a large or small operation in the operating room or the wound care process on the ward, everyone always hopes that everything will be perfect.
The search for perfection is an endless chase. Whether a restaurant is perfect or not can start from the decor outside the door, the interior decor, the menu design and the waiters’ uniforms. However, since food should be the most important thing in a restaurant. in the end Just one of many evaluations. It is popular among modern people to scan online and read reviews from different users to find the “best” one. Some people even think that the medical treatment process should be like this. Choose the best doctor, use the best materials and perform the most perfect surgery. But unfortunately, in the reality of medicine this is not the case.
Recently, a senior professor asked me a question during a seminar on cataract surgery.
“Forrest Gump, you said that today’s technology can scan the eyes to determine how much aberration the eyes have (aberration, which refers to the image error caused by the refraction of light through the eyes). Well, there are so many lenses artificial now, each has different aberration reduction functions, which one is best? “What kind of result is perfect?”
The professor is very knowledgeable and always hits the mark when asking questions.
The history of the intraocular lens used in cataract surgery is only a few decades. It developed from a piece of glass with a uniform power and cannot be bent to this day with different powers. It can also correct astigmatism, reduce presbyopia, foldable, non-spherical intraocular lens. This historical period illustrates the process of human search for perfect vision.
“So Professor, technology can undoubtedly help doctors choose the most suitable intraocular lens based on the shape of the patient’s eyes, but we all know that whether the final result will be perfect or not does not depend on the doctor, but on the subjective sensation of the patient. patient I tried to answer, “Intraocular lenses are just one part of cataract surgery. As we age, the shape of our eyes will continue to change, and data measured today may become inaccurate within 5 to 10 years. A person who has just undergone surgery If a patient who has undergone cataract surgery can happily leave the clinic, I believe that he has completed a practically perfect operation!
Just like when we were young, we chose sneakers. Some people like to choose brands, while others are fans of Sanjian. As we age, our feet grow and the size of the sneakers we need changes accordingly. The happiest moment for people buying sneakers is when they put on new sneakers and take to the streets. But who can keep a pair of new sneakers for a lifetime?
