Becoming a soldier must be a dream for many people.
Judging from the situation in previous years, many young people with military dreams unfortunately failed to pass the physical examination. Among them, the physical examination item with a relatively high elimination rate is the vision examination.
At present, many candidates will improve their vision through minimally invasive femtosecond and half femtosecond in Beijing Huaxia People's Eye Hospital before the physical examination. Yan Qinghui, director of the refractive center of Beijing Huaxia People's Eye Hospital, reminded that surgery as soon as possible should leave a recovery period for the eyes, so as not to fail the physical examination.
How much vision is required to join the military?
According to the National Conscription Network"Standards for Physical Examination of Recruited Citizens".[1] It is stipulated that the vision requirements are as follows:
Unaided visual acuity less than 4 in either eye5. Unqualified.
Unaided visual acuity less than 4 in either eye8. Corrective vision examination is required.
Corrected visual acuity less than 4 in either eye8 or the correction degree is more than 600 degrees, unqualified.
Refractive error after excimer laser surgery (without phakic intraocular lens implantation and other procedures).More than half a year, without complications, with unaided visual acuity of 4 in either eye8. The fundus examination is normal, and it is qualified except for the conditional soldiers[1].
Although recruitment information is open to young people across the country, it is not easy to put on a military uniform. In addition to passing the test score, eyesight must also meet the requirements for joining the army. According to ** reports, the number of people who sign up for the army every year is not a few, but more than half of the aspiring young people are eliminated because of vision problems alone.
What should I do if my vision is not up to standard?
Every year during the conscription season, Beijing Huaxia People's Eye Hospital has many patients who come to consult.
Young people who do not meet the requirements for enlistment due to myopia can meet the vision standards through minimally invasive femtosecond and femtosecond, so as to successfully enlist in the army.
Because. Laser surgery for myopia.
It has been recognized by the national military inspection! [1]
Director Yan Qinghui said: From the perspective of ophthalmologists, myopia surgery is a very rigorous medical project, with strict preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative standardized procedures. Beijing Huaxia People's Eye Hospital will have to do nearly 20 rigorous examinations before refractive surgery, and doctors will also customize the surgical plan according to the patient's eye examination to help clear vision.
Laser surgery is currently the mainstream surgical method for correcting myopia and astigmatism, which has a history of 30 years and has good efficacy, safety, and feasibility [2]. If you decide to join the military, your eyes can be helped to change your vision through medical technology if you are eligible for surgery.
Precautions for myopia surgery
Before refractive surgery, it is necessary to do a comprehensive and strict preoperative examination of each patient to rule out contraindications to surgery, and to perform preoperative care of the eyes according to the doctor's instructions to confirm that myopia surgery can be performed.
There are clear indications for myopia surgery [3]:
1.The patient has a desire to remove the lens and has reasonable expectations for the outcome of the surgery.
2.Generally, the patient is over 18 years old (in special circumstances, such as career selection requirements, high anisometropia, etc., the patient and his family members need to sign together on the basis of full understanding before surgery).
3.The refractive state is basically stable for 2 years (the annual increase in the refractive power of myopia does not exceed 0.)50 d)[4]。
4.The refractive error is within the ** range of various excimer laser devices (according to the range approved by the China Food and Drug Administration). It is recommended to correct the refractive error range: the refractive power of myopia does not exceed -800 d) [5], the astigmatism does not exceed 600 d, the diopter power of hyperopia does not exceed +600 d。
5.Special occupational needs, such as more confrontational athletes, military police, etc.
6.Patients with special anatomical conditions such as thin cornea, small palpebral fissure, and deep eye socket are not easy to undergo lamellar surgery.
7.Enhancement surgery after refractive surgery.
8.There are paralysis in the superficial cornea, the surface is irregular, especially the epithelial thickness is unevenly distributed, and it is necessary to perform personalized cutting such as topographic map or aberration.
Patients who have a history of wearing contact lenses before surgery are required to stop wearing soft lenses for more than one week, RGP for more than three weeks, and orthokeratology lenses for more than three months. Use antibiotic eye drops at least 12 times before surgery, and practice fixation training at home before surgery (i.e., block one eye, look at an object directly in front of you with the other eye, and then use other objects to interfere with the vision to maintain the fixation in place), about 1 minute per eye, to facilitate intraoperative cooperation.
Joining the army is extremely strict on vision, everyone's eye condition is different, although myopia surgery can be used normally the next day, but the individual physique is different, the recovery time is also different. The visual acuity of the military physical examination requires refractive surgery correction for 6 months or more [1], so the sooner the myopia surgery is performed, the more sufficient recovery time and the more guaranteed the physical examination vision clearance. If you participate in the military inspection in the second half of the year and candidates who want to be a soldier in the future, you should plan for surgery in advance.
Join the army to serve the country and strengthen China, how can you let myopia block the military dream! Beijing Huaxia People's Eye Hospital helps our generation of aspiring young people to pursue their dreams in the military camp, and "seeing" is unstoppable!
