Is myopic laser surgery really safe?

Many patients like to ask, doctor can you directly solve my myopia problem through laser surgery, I want to restore to 1.5 vision. These questions actually need to be analyzed specifically, and myopia laser surgery, some people actually can not do. Do laser surgery, to meet the 5 conditions 1, the demand should be reasonable: want to remove glasses, or because of life, work needs, as well as eye conditions, is not suitable for glasses. 2, age limit: preferably between 18 to 55 years old. 3.Degree should be stable: the refractive error is relatively stable for more than 2 years (the change is not more than 50 degrees per year). 4, eye conditions: meet these basic requirements, but also to do further detailed examination, including refraction, corneal thickness, corneal morphology, pupil size, intraocular pressure, fundus, etc., the doctor will be based on the results of the examination to determine whether it is suitable for surgery, as well as suitable for which type of surgery. 5. Physical conditions: If you have diabetes, AIDS, lupus erythematosus or rheumatoid arthritis and other diseases that may affect wound healing, then laser surgery is not very suitable. What are the laser surgeries? Corrective laser surgery has undergone technological advances from knife to no knife, giving those undergoing the procedure a safe yet comfortable experience. You may have heard the term “full femtosecond” (SMILE), which is a type of laser surgery, shortened to “full femtosecond” because only a femtosecond laser is used throughout the entire procedure, and can be used to correct refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and other refractive errors. Another common procedure is Laser Excimer In Situ Keratomileusis (LASIK), which can also be used to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and other refractive errors, and to realize the desire for lens removal. Each person’s physical condition is different, whether to do the surgery, suitable for which kind of surgery, must be after the doctor’s professional assessment. Go to a professional organization to ensure safety Myopia laser correction surgery has been in existence for more than two decades, with tens of millions of patients regaining good vision. With advances in technology, current procedures are quick and precise, less invasive, as well as safer and more comfortable. Complications such as corneal dilatation and corneal infection may occur after surgery, but the incidence is extremely low. Complications can be avoided through rigorous preoperative screening, adopting an appropriate surgical plan, paying attention to standardized intraoperative operation and postoperative care, and the cooperation of the patient. Compared to the serious complications with a low incidence, what really need to be viewed correctly are some minor adverse reactions, such as dry eyes, loss of vision at night, seeing glare or halos, etc. Most people will gradually adapt and recover after a period of time. It is recommended to have laser surgery in a regular, professional medical institution to ensure safety. Will my vision “bounce back” after the surgery? Will my vision “bounce back” after the surgery? This is a common concern. The so-called “rebound” may really happen, which is medically called “regression”. But don’t worry too much, with the development of medical technology, regression is preventable and controllable. Laser cutting cornea, the cornea will proliferate, if the cutting surface uniform proliferation, will not cause changes in the degree, if the central proliferation more than the surrounding, there will be a mild regression, that is, we say “rebound”. The possibility and degree of regression is related to the degree of myopia. Medium and low myopia generally have no regression, while high myopia, although the possibility of regression is high, can generally be controlled at about 5% of the original degree of myopia. For vision loss that occurs many years after surgery, it is often not due to “rebound”, but rather a deepening of myopia or other reasons, and requires an eye examination at the hospital.
