Patients suffering from depression are not recommended to have myopia correction surgery immediately, they should first be treated for depression in psychiatry, and then have myopia correction surgery when the depression improves and if there is a need for lens removal.
Myopia is a common disease in ophthalmology, if the patient is already an adult and the myopia has been stable for more than one year, it is possible to consider surgical treatment to correct myopia, but if the patient is currently suffering from depression, it is not recommended to undergo surgical treatment immediately, because the stress reaction produced by the surgery itself, as well as the use of hormone medication after the surgery may aggravate the depression.
The patient should first go to the psychiatric department of the hospital, and after the depression is under control through treatment, if there is still a need to remove the lenses, then surgical treatment can be performed to correct myopia.
