What are the precautions for femtosecond myopia surgery?

  Femtosecond laser surgery is currently one of the most popular myopic laser surgery options for myopic patients and is recognized worldwide for its safety and perfect results after surgery. So, what are the considerations for femtosecond myopia surgery?  First of all, there are certain conditions that need to be met to choose femtosecond laser surgery. Age over 18, myopia stable for more than two years, fluctuation of degree not more than 50 degrees per year, myopia less than 1400 degrees, astigmatism less than 600 degrees, no active eye disease and systemic disease affecting the effect of surgery, if these conditions are met, you can consider myopia laser surgery.  Secondly, after meeting the basic surgical conditions, a comprehensive and detailed pre-operative examination will be performed. Although the process of myopia surgery takes only ten minutes, a perfect preoperative examination can take up to two hours or more. Many contraindications to surgery, such as glaucoma, high intraocular pressure, suspected cone cornea, organic eye lesions, etc., can be detected through rigorous preoperative examination. These are the causes of surgical risks for patients.  Thirdly, it is very important to choose a regular qualified and experienced hospital. We know that some medical institutions use a lot of old and obsolete surgical equipment in order to reduce costs, do not install constant temperature and humidity laminar flow purification operating rooms, reuse surgical consumables, etc. All of these seriously endanger the health and interests of patients and push the surgery to the edge of risk.  Finally, femtosecond laser surgery is a full blade-free surgical procedure, so advanced equipment is a guarantee of successful surgery. Femtosecond laser, which produces an extremely thin corneal flap with an average thickness of only 100 microns, such a thin flap minimizes nerve damage during surgery, making it possible to effectively reduce post-operative dry eye. The patient should learn to make his own judgment and not blindly believe in the exaggerated propaganda of some hospitals and the random expansion of the surgical population, so as not to cause lifelong regrets.
