Why do ophthalmologists perform myopia surgery

  I work at the Excimer Center of Nanhai People’s Hospital, and my biggest confusion is that people keep asking, “You are an ophthalmologist, why do you wear glasses and not do laser myopia surgery? Every time I was speechless, my inner thought was why do I have to do it, my glasses are still in good condition, can’t I be a plastic surgeon, I have to give myself a full body plastic surgery to convince the public?  After the surgery, I took a group photo with my colleagues to thank them for their hard work. However, my inner thoughts could not be used in reality, for unnecessary troubles, I used to wear contact lenses for a long time for more than 2 years, but I did not have any eye discomfort due to the proper choice of contact lenses and care. The idea of laser surgery came after the birth of my son. As anyone who has ever had a child knows, the arrival of a child means that one’s personal time and space will be greatly compressed. After discussing with my family, I decided to have femtosecond laser myopia surgery.  I came out of the operating room with a blindfold on and was very excited. Everything went according to the procedure, routine checkups to make sure I could operate, and then I booked a date for the surgery, and my vision basically returned to normal the day after the surgery. The only thing I don’t like is that I still wake up in the morning looking for my glasses and think I’m still wearing them. So why did I have myopia surgery, not because I am an ophthalmologist, but because, like millions of my friends who had surgery, I was troubled by wearing glasses, so I chose to have surgery. I don’t want to write too many professional things, but want to share with you some practical things, if life is very comfortable, wearing glasses at all does not affect life, study or work, then wear your glasses well, because this is one of the cheapest, most conservative and relatively safest correction method, if you have the need for surgery, but worried about the risks of surgery, come to the regular hospital first to check it, to determine their If you have a need for surgery but are worried about the risks of surgery, come to the regular hospital first to determine whether you can operate, otherwise everything is for nothing, as to whether the final surgery, the regular hospital doctors will not induce you to operate, because the surgeon who will not take this risk, the doctor will only tell you whether you are suitable for surgery, and to inform you of the risks of surgery, the final decision to operate on their own.
