1.What are the myopia surgeries?How to choose?

Mainstream myopia surgeries include:Corneal laser surgerywithEndoscopic ICL implantation surgery。Among them, corneal laser surgery is a large family, including the famous "ReLEx SMILE Surgery" and "Half ReLEx LASIK Surgery".Each member has their own strengths, and no one is the absolute best

ReLEx laser surgery

The key to femtosecond laser surgery is that the whole process is completed by femtosecond laser, instead of excimer laser cutting, a corneal stromal lens is directly made with femtosecond laser during the operation, and then the lens is removed through a tiny incision of 2-4mm, which is completed by the same femtosecond laser.

Instead of making a corneal flap, a tiny incision is used to remove the stromal lens tissue with only a small incision of about 4 mm. Because the surgical incision is made at 12 o'clock in the cornea, it is like a small incision smiling at the surgeon, so it is also called "smile surgery".

The correction range of femtosecond laser myopia surgery is wider, from the previous comprehensive power of less than 1000 degrees to less than 1000 degrees of myopia and less than 500 degrees of astigmatism. Its biomechanics are stable, which can maintain the integrity of the corneal surface, and the entire cornea is biomechanically stable, so it is not afraid of trauma for a long time after surgery, and it is safe and worry-free.

Corneal surgery lesions are reduced, and dry eye is less likely to occur.

Half femtosecond laser surgery (LASIK).

There are two types of lasers involved in femtosecond surgery – femtosecond and excimer. The femtosecond laser is used to make a corneal flap instead of the traditional mechanical lamellar incision.

The femtosecond laser cuts around a circle of the cornea, leaving a pedicle, and then turns the corneal tissue open, commonly known as a corneal flap. The stromal layer is then subjected to excimer cutting (removing the waste) and the corneal flap is returned to its original position after the cut.

All-laser surgery (SMART).

All-laser surgery** combines all the advantages of excimer and femtosecond technologies, in the intact cornea, laser blasting to make a pre-designed lens, and the laser is performed directly through the corneal epithelium**, completing the precise correction of refractive error in one step.

Lens implantation surgery

ICL lens implantation is a minimally invasive procedure in which the lens is implanted into the eye (without cutting the cornea). To put it simply, it is to "fit" the ** glasses into the eyes. Postoperative vision is better than wearing glasses,** and laser myopia surgery.

For what kind of myopia surgery to do, you need to do a preoperative examination first, and customize the appropriate surgical method according to the characteristics of your eyes.

2.What do I need to prepare for myopia surgery?

**Is the glasses no longer worn?

The transparent soft lens should be stopped for more than 1 week, the contact lenses should be stopped for more than 2 weeks, the RPG hard lenses should be stopped for more than 4 weeks, and the OK lenses should be stopped for more than 3 months.

Is myopia increasing?

It is advisable to make progress within 50 degrees in the past year.

Is the whole body in good condition?

If you have systemic diseases or special circumstances, please inform and consult your doctor truthfully when you see a doctor.

Do you have a history of long-term medication?

If you are taking long-term medications, radiotherapy and chemotherapy drugs, antibiotic drugs, etc., please inform and consult your doctor truthfully.

3.Do I need to be hospitalized for surgery?

How long does laser myopia surgery take

If you simply refer to the time of surgery, the time of laser myopia surgery is very short. From the time you walk into the operating room to the time the operation is completed, it may take about ten minutes, and the time to lie on the operating table is even shorter, and the actual time to perform the laser may only be more than ten seconds. However, a complete myopia surgery also requires a preoperative examination and a post-operative follow-up.

Do I need to be hospitalized for laser myopia surgery?

Unlike other eye surgeries, laser myopia surgery does not require a hospital stay. After the completion of laser myopia surgery, you can go home on the same day, and you can go to work and study normally the next day. It won't bring much trouble to study and work.

How to arrange the time for laser myopia surgery

Whether it is an office worker or a student party, they usually have their own things to be busy, such as work or study, etc., and can only take time or holidays to do myopia surgery, so the operation schedule is also a topic that must be paid attention to.

Complete myopia surgery consists of three steps: preoperative examination, surgery, and post-operative follow-up.

First of all, you need to take half a day to have a preoperative eye examination, about 2 hours or so, to determine whether your eyes are suitable for myopia surgery and the appropriate surgical method. It is important to note that you need to stop wearing glasses for at least one week before the preoperative examination**. The operation cannot be performed on the day of the preoperative examination.

Then you can make an appointment with the surgeon and the time for the operation. On the first day, one week, one month, and half a year after surgery, postoperative re-examination should be performed.

Tips: You must choose a professional and regular ophthalmology hospital for surgery, and you can only operate after excluding contraindications to surgery, so as to reduce the risk of surgery.

4.How much does the surgery cost?

**Fee:General physician 0-30, associate high 30-50, positive height 50-100;

Preoperative Examination Fee:0-1000, there are basic inspections, full sets of inspections, laser inspections, crystal inspections, etc.;

Surgery Fee:

Excimer 5000-8000, all-laser 1-130,000, half femtosecond.

1.1-1.50,000, full femtosecond 15-2.About 30,000, and about 3-40,000 lens implants.

Pre- and post-operative potion fee:200-500 (some hospitals can swipe the balance of medical insurance card).
