In the outpatient clinic of the hospital, there are often friends who ask various questions about myopia surgery, and today I will select a few common questions in the outpatient clinic for you to answer in detail
What is the difference between corneal laser surgery and lens surgery?
Corneal laser surgeryThe corneal tissue is ablated with an excimer laser or the cornea is cut with a femtosecond laser to form a lens and removed, thereby changing the shape of the cornea so that the corneal refraction matches the axial length of the eye.
WhileLens surgeryA custom-made lens (similar to a glasses placed in the eye) is implanted into the eye through a small incision at the edge of the cornea.
For patients over the age of 50, it is also possible to have their own lens removed and an intraocular lens implanted to undergo lens replacement.
Corneal laser surgery is an external eye surgery that can be done at the same time for both eyes.
Lens surgery is an internal eye surgery in which the two eyes must be performed separately.

Myopia surgery is suitable for those who wish to remove the lensAged over 18 years, with stable myopia and astigmatism in the past two years(annual change in power within 50 degrees).
In addition, patients need to undergo an ophthalmologic examination evaluation to rule out contraindications to myopia surgery such as keratoconus, acute inflammation of the eye, infection, severe dry eye syndrome, etc., to ensure good health.
It is important to note that female patients should avoid pregnancy and lactation during myopia surgery.
Is surgery a lifetime effect?
Everyone's recovery is different, and if you don't have myopia genes and develop good eye habits, vision regression is unlikely to occur.
Are there any complications after surgery?
Common complications of myopia surgery include postoperative visual fatigue, decreased visual quality (such as halos, glare, double vision, etc.), and dry eyes. However, most of the complications are temporary, and as long as you take medication on time and pay attention to rest, they will generally gradually disappear within 1 to 3 months after surgery.
How long do I need to recuperate at home after surgery?
Rest at home on the day of surgery, and go to school or work after the first day of surgery after the hospital for a follow-up, but you should avoid looking at the computer screen or mobile phone continuously for a long time, which may cause eye strain.
