Should I avoid myopia surgery? Will I become myopic again in two years?

Only a very small number of people will develop further myopia after myopia surgery. As long as you pay more attention to proper use of your eyes and maintain good eye habits after the operation, generally speaking, you will not become myopic again.

How to avoid vision loss again after myopia surgery?

(1) Strict surgical standards. We have repeatedly emphasized that preoperative examination for myopia surgery is very important. Surgery is not recommended for minors whose myopia is not stable, or for adults whose myopia has not been stable in the past two years, in order to prevent the possibility of myopia growth after surgery.

(2) Use your eyes scientifically and have regular checkups. During the recovery period of myopia surgery, patients should also strictly follow the doctor's advice and reduce the use of electronic products and long-term stress on the eyes. In fact, whether you have surgery or not, you need to develop the habit of loving and protecting your eyes. As long as you avoid the above two factors, myopia after myopia surgery will generally not occur again.

After myopia surgery, what is the naked eye vision?

The starting point of myopia surgery is the same as that of frame glasses. The difference is that frame glasses are worn outside the eyes, while laser corneal refractive surgery is to cut the cornea and make "glasses" on the cornea. ICL lens implantation is to put a lens customized according to the patient's eye condition into the eye. Generally speaking, if the preoperative examination passes, the corrected vision meets the standard, and the operation is completed smoothly, then the vision effect can be achieved after the operation.

Possibility of myopia recurrence after surgery:

Myopia surgery is to correct the current myopia degree of a myopic person. People who have undergone surgery may still become myopic in the future.

However, generally speaking, myopia tends to stabilize after adulthood, and good vision can be maintained for a long time under the premise of standardized and reasonable eye use. In addition, the preoperative examination will assess whether the person's myopia is stable. If the degree increases too quickly each year, the myopic person will be advised to postpone surgery to eliminate the risk of recurrence of myopia as much as possible.
