Why do many ophthalmologists perform surgery on their patients but choose to wear glasses themselves? This question has been questioned by many people, so I will answer it separately for ease of understanding. First, do doctors themselves receive myopia surgery? The answer is obviously yes. The doctor pictured below with me is the first doctor in China who underwent myopia surgery and engaged in refractive eye surgery, and he is my colleague and alumnus. In fact, many ophthalmologists, including those at my hospital, Concordia, have also undergone myopia surgery. Second, why do so many doctors wear glasses? This question is actually rather one-sided. First of all, the glasses that ophthalmologists wear are not necessarily all myopic glasses, for example, I wear presbyopic glasses. Secondly, myopia surgery is not suitable for all people, just like the special diseases mentioned earlier, such as diabetes and metabolic diseases, are not recommended to receive myopia surgery. The most important point is that the decision to operate or not to operate lies with the individual patient, and everyone’s needs are different. Myopia surgery is meant to bring a more convenient life to myopic patients, but some doctors feel that glasses do not affect normal work life, so they choose not to do the surgery, and this should be well understood. Ultimately, the safety of surgery cannot be determined solely on the basis of whether or not the doctor himself receives the surgery, which is logically problematic. But one thing worth noting is that none of the ophthalmologists around me have accepted crystal implant surgery because ophthalmologists are more aware of the risks of crystal implantation and generally choose to do laser surgery.
