Does myopic surgery hurt?

Patients generally do not feel pain during myopic surgery. Prior to surgery, patients are given local anesthesia, and when the anesthesia kicks in, patients typically feel no pain during the procedure. Myopic surgery includes keratoconus, non-laser keratoconus, laser keratoconus, intraocular refractive surgery, refractive lens replacement, and other types of surgery that can be used to correct the vision status of patients with some refractive errors. Prior to surgery, patients are required to undergo a routine eye examination, including eye position, optometry, and tear testing, and if the patient is eligible for surgery, surgical treatment can be carried out. Before surgery, the patient is anesthetized with drops of surface anesthetic for the eye. After the anesthesia takes effect, the patient usually does not feel pain during the subsequent surgery. After myopia surgery, you need to pay attention to the daily care and maintenance of the eye, appropriate eye use, to promote eye recovery. After surgery, patients need to follow the doctor’s instructions for review, and if there is any discomfort such as foreign body sensation or pain in the eyes, they need to consult a doctor in time for relief.
