Laser eye surgery

Laser treatment for both eyes requires good medical care before, during and after the operation. Laser treatment for both eyes is not over once it is completed. Some maintenance needs to be paid attention to after the operation. Can you have children normally after laser treatment of both eyes? Ophthalmologists are here to answer your questions about whether you can get pregnant after laser treatment of both eyes.

Ophthalmologists introduced: Before performing binocular laser treatment, ophthalmologists must not only fully understand the medical history and flexibly apply the indications and contraindications of binocular laser treatment, but also professionally analyze the results of preoperative examinations. This can help ophthalmologists determine "whether surgery is possible", "which surgery is suitable" and "the actual effect after surgery".

Generally, after binocular laser treatment, the thickness of the central part of the cornea decreases compared to before the operation, and the compressive strength of the cornea decreases to varying degrees compared to before the operation. This is due to the influence of the depth of drilling. The national standard is that the thickness of the corneal culture matrix bed after surgery should not be less than 250μm, which can ensure the actual effect after surgery. For patients with mild myopia and sufficient corneal thickness, laser eye surgery to cut the corneal thickness of a few dozen μm will not cause significant impact on the eyes, and they can have children normally after the operation. There are no side effects after receiving binocular laser treatment for mild myopia, and children can be born normally. For patients with severe myopia, laser treatment for both eyes requires the laser to drill a large amount of corneal tissue, which has a great impact on the corneal compressive strength after the operation. You need to carefully choose the laser treatment method for both eyes based on your personal situation. It is recommended to choose ICL surgery that does not drill the cornea.

Although you can have children normally after laser treatment of both eyes, considering the need to take medication after laser treatment of both eyes, usually antibiotic eye drops are used. It is recommended to consider pregnancy after one month of stopping the medication. If a woman has not breastfed after giving birth and her physical condition has recovered well, she can do it after one month. However, it is not recommended for women who are breastfeeding after giving birth. It is best to wait until after breastfeeding and then go to the ophthalmology hospital for a physical examination.

The pre-embedded corneal thickness during binocular laser treatment is based on the patient's condition that both eyes can withstand normal intraocular pressure after surgery. The intraocular pressure range of normal people is 1.47 ~ 2.79Kpa (11 ~ 21mmHg). The intraocular pressure will change relatively when the posture changes. Female patients will also experience changes after surgery and childbirth, but these are all fluctuations within the normal range of intraocular pressure, and the cornea can withstand normal intraocular pressure.

Therefore, it is okay to have a baby normally after binocular laser treatment, and you can consider getting pregnant after stopping the use of eye drops.
