How to perform myopia surgery? Can it be done? One article explains it clearly

There is a disease that spreads evenly...

From 70-year-olds to 5-year-old children,

Once you get it, it's irreversible!

It is myopia .

What is it like to be nearsighted?

Fortunately, we now have myopia surgery, which gives us the opportunity to "start over."

1. Can I have myopia surgery whenever I want?

That obviously won’t work!

The patient must undergo a detailed examination before the operation, and the operation can only be performed if the doctor determines that the conditions are met.

It is generally required that the degree before surgery is relatively stable, that is, the degree increase in the past year is less than or equal to 50 degrees.

In addition, the following types of people may not be suitable for myopia surgery:

➡Eye lesions or infections

Have eye diseases such as glaucoma, severe cataracts, poor eyelid closure, eyelid defects or deformations.

➡Poor corneal condition

There are scars on the cornea, lesions such as keratitis, the corneal thickness does not meet the surgical standards, there are conditions such as keratoconus, etc.

➡The body has such diseases

Such as: severe hyperthyroidism, hyperthyroidism exophthalmos, diabetes, heart disease, etc.

➡Have mental or psychological illness

Patients with diseases such as severe depression and anxiety who are unable to cooperate with doctors' examinations and surgery cannot undergo surgery.

2.Is myopia surgery safe?

The safety factor is very high and the incidence of serious complications is very low.

The multiple examinations conducted before surgery are precisely to assess whether there will be any potential safety risks after the surgery.

However, the eyeball is very delicate after all, and it is true that some discomfort will occur after the operation, such as dry eye syndrome.

However, we don't need to worry too much, because this symptom will gradually disappear as the cornea heals itself.

After the operation, patients must protect their eyes and avoid bumps. As long as you choose a regular hospital for myopia surgery, safety can be guaranteed, and we must also follow the doctor's advice on postoperative effects and care.

3. Can myopia surgery be reimbursed by medical insurance?

Myopia surgery is not covered by medical insurance.

At this point, everyone is still concerned about the cost, and some people ask, "Is the more expensive the myopia surgery, the better?"

Although different types of myopia surgery have different prices, the doctor will definitely make a comprehensive judgment based on multiple data such as eye condition, corneal thickness, myopia degree, etc., and then choose the most appropriate surgical plan with the best postoperative recovery effect.

So the more expensive the better, the best is what suits you!
