After laser myopia surgery, patients may experience complications such as dry eye, eye infections, glare, and cone cornea.
Laser myopia surgery is a surgical treatment commonly used to treat refractive errors and is usually indicated for people who are at least 18 years old and have less than 1,000 degrees of myopia. Myopic laser surgery has a high success rate, but there are some complications that may occur after undergoing the surgery, such as dry eye, eye infection, glare, and cone cornea.
After myopic laser surgery, patients may experience dry eyes, which may be caused by damage to the tear film nerves when the laser cuts into the cornea, affecting tear secretion. Patients may also experience complications such as postoperative glare and cone cornea because the corneal tissue has been cut.
In addition, if patients continue to use their eyes with fatigue after surgery and do not develop good eye habits, patients may experience myopia regression and need to continue to wear eyeglasses.
It is recommended that patients follow the doctor’s instructions for care after myopia surgery, have regular checkups, and consult the doctor promptly when discomfort occurs.
