Can I wear colored contact lenses after myopia surgery?

From the perspective of eye health, ophthalmologists do not recommend wearing cosmetic contact lenses, regardless of whether you have undergone myopia surgery or not.

Cosmetic contact lenses are in direct contact with the cornea. Frequent wearing of cosmetic contact lenses will reduce the oxygen permeability of the cornea. At the same time, repeated stimulation of the cornea may cause adverse effects such as corneal infection, corneal epithelial damage, corneal ulcers, etc. After myopia surgery, if the wound or cornea is not completely healed, it will aggravate the progression of the disease and be detrimental to the recovery of vision.

If you have to wear cosmetic contact lenses due to special conditions after myopia surgery, it is recommended to wait until the vision of both eyes is stable, which is three months after the surgery.

Can I perm or dye my hair after myopia surgery?

Perming and dyeing hair itself has no effect, but considering that dirty water and hair dyes may enter the eyes after hair care, causing eye infection, it is recommended to wait 1 to 3 months after the operation, or with the permission of a professional doctor, before doing beauty projects such as perming and dyeing hair.

How long after myopia surgery can I put on makeup?

You can use facial skin care products after a week, and try to wait a month before applying eye makeup to avoid infection, conjunctival congestion, dry eyes and other uncomfortable symptoms.

Can I have double eyelid surgery after myopia surgery?

Laser myopia surgery uses laser to cut the cornea to change the refractive power of the cornea to correct myopia, while double eyelid surgery mainly acts on the surface layer of the skin. The two surgeries do not affect each other.

However, we do not recommend doing both surgeries at the same time. It is generally recommended to do double eyelid surgery first and then myopia surgery. Double eyelid surgery, an extraocular surgery, will change the intraocular pressure and have a certain impact on the preoperative examination data. Myopia surgery after double eyelid surgery can solve the myopia and astigmatism problems that may be caused by double eyelid surgery at one time. The interval between the two surgeries should be more than half a year, and you still need to consult the surgeon for specific advice.

How long after myopia surgery can I get pregnant?

Regarding the question of how long it will take to get pregnant after myopia surgery, considering that you need to take medication for a period of time after myopia surgery, it is generally recommended to stop taking medication for one month before preparing for pregnancy.

After myopia surgery, can we prevent myopia from being passed on to the next generation?

Studies have shown that the risk of high myopia among siblings is higher than that of low myopia, proving that heredity plays an important role in the pathogenesis of high myopia. High myopia is familial and has a clear genetic tendency. It is one of the hereditary eye diseases that lead to low vision and blindness.

However, myopia surgery cannot prevent myopia from being inherited. This is because myopia surgery only corrects myopia, helps you regain clear naked eye vision, and takes off frame glasses or contact lenses. Therefore, myopia surgery cannot change genes, and cannot change the probability of myopia being inherited to the next generation.
