How serious are the side effects of myopia surgery? A doctor has spoken out!

When it comes to myopia surgery, what everyone is concerned about, besides how much it will cost, is whether there will be any adverse effects. Today we will talk specifically about this issue.

Is myopia surgery safe?

Let me say it again today about the safety of the surgery.

First of all, not everyone can undergo myopia surgery. The country has stipulated strict surgical indicators, and Aier Eye Hospital has formulated higher Aier standards based on national standards. Through strict preoperative examinations, it determines whether myopic patients can undergo myopia surgery and which type of myopia surgery they can undergo. It is not a random decision.

Secondly, whether it is laser myopia surgery or ICL lens implantation, it is performed on the front part of the eye and will not touch the retina and other parts of the back of the eye.

Will my eyes become dry and itchy after myopia surgery?

Zhang Qingsong, deputy chief physician, member of the Refractive Subcommittee of the Ophthalmology Committee of the China Association of Non-public Medical Institutions, and director of the Refractive Department of the Aier Eye Hospital Affiliated to Wuhan University (Aier Eye Hospital Group Hubei Headquarters), explained: Generally speaking, dryness or itching will not occur after myopia surgery. If this happens, it may be caused by dry eyes or keratitis, and you should go to the hospital for examination.

After the operation, you need to pay attention to proper eye use, use your eyes at close range for about 40 minutes, close your eyes to rest or look into the distance for about 10 minutes to give your eyes a rest.

Will myopia surgery affect my night vision?

For most people, myopia surgery will not have a significant impact on night vision, nor will it affect normal life and work.
