If neovascularization occurs in the patient’s cornea, it is usually not possible to perform myopia correction surgery.
Neovascularization of the cornea is usually caused by prolonged corneal hypoxia, chronic inflammation of the cornea, etc., which stimulates the corneal limbal blood vessel proliferation. Patients with corneal limbal neovascularization are not recommended to undergo myopia correction surgery because surgical stimulation will easily lead to further expansion of the neovascularization, and the transparency of the corneal area covered by the neovascularization will be reduced, which may threaten the patient’s vision.
If the patient’s corneal neovascularization is large, the neovascularization process may damage the neovascularization and cause bleeding, resulting in corneal blood staining, which may damage the patient’s vision.
It is recommended that patients with corneal neovascularization should consult a hospital in a timely manner to assess their condition and follow the doctor’s instructions to choose the appropriate treatment.
