After having myopia laser correction surgery, the desire to have eye surgery after old age needs to be evaluated based on the specific type of surgery before determining if it can be done.
There are many different types of myopia laser surgery, including excimer laser surgery, full femtosecond laser surgery, and semi-femtosecond laser surgery. The principle of the surgery is to change the curvature of the cornea so as to correct the refractive error of the patient’s eyes and improve the vision.
Patients who have had myopic laser surgery can also undergo surgery when they are older if they want to have internal eye surgery, such as cataracts and fundus lesions, without being unable to undergo surgery. If corneal surgery is required, such as myopic laser surgery, the cornea thickness and shape of the cornea need to be evaluated to determine whether the surgery can be performed.
Patients who have undergone myopic laser surgery and wish to undergo eye surgery in their old age should go to the ophthalmology department of a hospital to be evaluated and treated by a doctor after a thorough examination.
