What are the pros and cons of full femtosecond myopia surgery?

The pros of full femtosecond myopia surgery include rapid correction of vision, better intraoperative stability and comfort, etc.; the cons include higher difficulty in reoperation and risk of recurrence. 1. Benefits of full femtosecond myopia surgery (1) Fast vision correction: Compared with half-femtosecond surgery, full-femtosecond surgery takes less time and you can try to use your eyes normally within 6 hours after the surgery, which can achieve the purpose of fast vision correction. (2) Better intraoperative stability and comfort: Full femtosecond surgery has better intraoperative stability and comfort due to its unique “lens removal principle” and the one-step technology of femtosecond laser. 2. Disadvantages of full femtosecond myopia surgery (1) Difficulty of re-operation: Since a piece of corneal stroma has been removed in TFA, the difficulty of re-operation is greatly increased. (2) Risk of recurrence after surgery: If you don’t use your eyes correctly after surgery, it will still lead to vision loss, and TFA can only solve the existing vision loss problem. (3) Associated complications: Complications are mainly related to the operator’s technique and the patient’s eye condition, which may result in the risk of undercorrection or overcorrection of myopia. Those who have the need for full femtosecond surgery should choose regular hospitals for the surgery, and fully understand the risks and other information before the surgery, so as to make a reasonable choice.
