What is normal visual acuity after surgery?

The main purpose of myopia surgery is to obtain clear vision through surgery. There is actually no "standard answer" to how much vision can be achieved after surgery. It depends on the "strength" of one's eyes. Some people have a corrected vision of 1.0, some can reach 1.2 or 1.5, and some can reach 0.8. Everyone's eye conditions are different, and the vision achieved after surgery will also be different.

Under normal circumstances, if you can achieve a visual acuity of 1.0 when wearing glasses, you can generally achieve the same naked eye visual acuity after surgery. The visual acuity after myopia surgery does not necessarily have to reach 1.0, 1.2 or 1.5. Generally, the ideal visual acuity estimated before surgery can be achieved after surgery.

Zhao Bo, director of Tianjin University Aier Eye Hospital, said that high visual quality means not only seeing the eye chart clearly, but also having better visual effects. For example, the vision should be comfortable, that is, seeing things far and near, seeing things clearly during the day and at night, and having balanced images of both eyes, so as to achieve the purpose of correction.

How long will it take to see clearly after surgery?

Usually, vision is significantly improved on the day after surgery, and vision can generally meet eye needs during follow-up examinations the next day. If there are slight fluctuations in vision or night glare for a period of time after surgery, these are normal phenomena, which will gradually disappear over time. In addition, because the surgical method and each person's eye condition are different, the time required for vision to stabilize after surgery varies. Generally, vision will be relatively stable after 3-6 months.

Postoperative precautions

1. Protect your eyes: Do not let water or dust enter your eyes, do not rub your eyes, and do not let your eyes be injured by impact.

2. Apply eye drops as directed by the doctor: Follow the doctor's instructions and apply eye drops on time and in the correct amount.

3. Follow-up examinations on schedule: It is generally recommended to have six follow-up examinations within one year after surgery, namely on the first day, one week, one month, three months, six months, and one year after surgery, to confirm the condition of the eyes.

4. Eye health: You can read books and use electronic products normally after the operation, but you must pay attention to the way you use your eyes. For example, after using your eyes continuously at close range for 1 hour, you should take a break or look into the distance for a while to avoid using your eyes at close range for a long time.
