Will vision rebound after myopia surgery?

Everyone knows that there are two types of myopia surgery: laser myopia surgery and lens implantation myopia surgery. However, friends often ask whether the myopia will rebound after ICL lens implantation. The answer is no.

There is no rebound after ICL lens implantation. Therefore, before choosing myopia surgery, there is one thing you must understand: no matter which type of myopia surgery you choose, it can only correct the existing myopia and cannot prevent you from becoming myopic again.

Why does a rebound exist?

Generally speaking, if you strictly follow the doctor's advice and pay attention to eye use after surgery, there will be no rebound. The rebound mentioned by some people is mainly because patients need to develop scientific eye use habits after surgery. Patients correct 500 degrees of myopia through myopia surgery, just like buying a piece of clothing that fits after adulthood. If you don't grow taller or gain weight suddenly, then this piece of clothing itself can be worn all the time. There is no such thing as surgical rebound.

Therefore, if you have bad eye habits, and you still play games all night after surgery, stay up late to watch TV series, or type on the computer without sleep while working, you will still become myopic. Myopia surgery is not a vaccination, and it can prevent myopia after surgery.

However, if you become myopic again after surgery and meet the requirements after preoperative examination, you can still choose surgery to correct it.

So how to prevent postoperative rebound?

First of all, not everyone can undergo myopia surgery. The country has set strict surgical indicators, and Aier Eye Hospital has formulated higher Aier standards based on national standards. Through strict preoperative examinations, it determines whether myopia patients can undergo myopia surgery and what type of myopia surgery they can undergo.
