Full femtosecond surgery is not recommended for patients with leukoaraiosis and may aggravate the condition, depending on the specific treatment modality of the patient’s condition.
Full femtosecond surgery in patients with leukoaraiosis may induce inflammatory lesions in the eye, which may aggravate the condition and lead to vision loss in the patient. Therefore, corneal refractive surgery, including full femtosecond surgery, is not recommended for patients with leukoaraiosis.
Leukoaraiosis is a chronic systemic vascular inflammatory disease, often involving the retinal blood vessels in the eye causing intraocular retinal inflammation, and most of the inflammation is recurrent, which has a greater impact on vision and even blindness.
It is recommended that patients with leukoaraiosis seek prompt medical attention to evaluate their condition and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
