The main effects of full femtosecond laser surgery on the eyes are the risks of keratoconus, dry eye, and postoperative infections.
Full Femtosecond Laser Surgery is a common surgical procedure for correcting myopia, which is safer, less invasive, quicker recovery, and more comfortable for the patient, but it can also affect the eyes.
The principle of the surgery is mainly to cut the corneal stroma by full femtosecond laser to make the cornea thinner and change the curvature of the cornea to correct myopia, so the thickness of the cornea will be reduced after the surgery, which affects the strength of the cornea, so the risk of secondary cone cornea and dilated keratopathy is higher than that of ordinary people.
Full femtosecond laser surgery process will also cut off part of the corneal surface layer of the sensory nerve fibers, will make the cornea perception is reduced, patients are prone to reflex tear secretion is reduced, so there is a risk of dry eye.
There is also a risk of infection with improper postoperative care.
If myopic patients want to have full femtosecond surgery, it is recommended that they go to a regular hospital for a complete examination to ensure the safety and effect and reduce the possibility of risk. After surgery, you should follow the doctor’s instructions to take good care of your eyes to promote recovery.
