Semi-femtosecond enhanced myopia surgery is easy to perform and safe, but may still pose some risks, such as dry eye, over- or under-correction of refractive power, and vision loss.
Compared to the traditional hemi-femtosecond surgery, hemi-femtosecond enhanced surgery is safer and can lead to strengthening and reinforcement of the cornea. However, due to the varying medical conditions of different patients, the procedure carries certain risks and may cause damage to the cornea, leading to dry eye, over- or under-correction, and vision loss.
Semi-femtosecond enhanced myopia refers to the combination of corneal collagen cross-linking on top of semi-femtosecond laser surgery, where semi-femtosecond laser surgery is a type of surgery that utilizes a femtosecond laser to create a flap, followed by an excimer laser to cut the cornea, and collagen cross-linking, which is a type of non-laser keratomileusis surgery.
Patients after semi-femtosecond enhanced myopia surgery are advised to follow the doctor’s care instructions, have regular checkups, and seek medical attention when discomfort occurs.
