Although myopia surgery is an effective method, there are still certain risks and complications. Here are some of the possible risks:
Infection: There is a risk of infection with any surgery, and myopia surgery is no exception. Infections can occur in the cornea or at surgical wounds and require antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs**.
Overcorrection or undercorrection: Surgical correction is excessive or insufficient, so that the myopia is not completely eliminated or worsened. This may require re-surgery or glasses or glasses to correct it.
Refractive regression: The power may reappear or change after surgery, which may be related to corneal healing.
Dry eye: Surgery can damage the nerves and secretions of the cornea, making the eyes dry or uncomfortable. Requires artificial tears**.
Halo or glare: Visual problems such as halo or glare may occur after surgery, especially at night or when the light is strong.
It is important to note that the risks and complications of surgery are low, but they still need to be taken seriously by patients. You need to be cautious in choosing your surgical method and doctor, and follow your doctor's advice and guidance.
Also, myopia surgery is not a one-and-done process. After the surgery, patients need to maintain good eye habits and a healthy lifestyle, avoid using electronic products for a long time, avoid eye trauma, etc., so as not to affect the results of the surgery. At the same time, regular follow-up examinations are also required after surgery to keep abreast of the recovery from surgery.
In summary, myopia surgery is an effective method that can help patients remove their glasses or glasses and improve their quality of life. However, one needs to be cautious in choosing the type of surgery and the doctor, and follow the doctor's advice and guidance. After surgery, it is also necessary to pay attention to recovery and health care, maintain good eye habits and a healthy lifestyle to get the best results.
