The main risk of myopia correction surgery for patients in their 40’s is the possibility of postoperative dry eye and old age vision.
Myopia correction surgery is suitable for adult myopia patients, 40-year-old patients can also do myopia correction surgery, the main risks and hazards of the surgery are as follows:
1. Possibility of dry eye after surgery: patients over 40 years old are prone to dry eye because of the degradation of tear secretion function and the decrease of tear secretion itself, which will be further reduced after surgery.
2. Presbyopia: the eye regulation function of 40-year-old patients has begun to gradually decline, and after myopia correction surgery, patients are likely to have presbyopia, or presbyopia, when they look closer.
If a 40-year-old patient wants to undergo myopia correction surgery, he or she must first go to the ophthalmology department of the hospital for an examination, and the doctor will evaluate the eye conditions and make a correction plan.
