Every summer is the annual peak season for myopia surgery at major ophthalmology hospitals. Because of the large surgical population, there are countless people who want to have myopia surgery. If you don’t want to be bothered by frames or contact lenses every day, or if you don’t want to wear glasses anymore because of your job or appearance needs, myopia surgery is really a good option. As myopia surgery technology becomes more and more advanced and safe, many students, white-collar workers and office workers have undergone myopia surgery, and some movie stars and sports stars have also said goodbye to myopia through laser myopia surgery. However, there are still some myopia surgery “misconceptions” circulating in the market, probably the following: Rumor 1: ophthalmologists do not do myopia surgery Ophthalmologists do not do myopia surgery? In fact, there are many ophthalmologists who do myopia surgery themselves, and there are many ophthalmologists who do myopia surgery for their own children and loved ones, but you just don’t know it. Of course there are some ophthalmologists who do not do myopia surgery because they are approaching the age of presbyopia, ophthalmologists clinical work is required to fine work, after doing myopia surgery, see near due to presbyopia reasons instead of clear, so did not choose myopia surgery. Moreover, taking a step back, myopia surgery is not something you can do if you want to, and many ophthalmologists may not meet the conditions for surgery. Rumor 2: Myopia surgery has side effects Myopia surgery has a 30-year history in China, and the surgical technique has become very mature. In the country, millions of people have successfully undergone myopia surgery. Moreover, not only ordinary people undergo myopia surgery, many entertainment stars, celebrities and NBA players from the mainland, Hong Kong, Taiwan and abroad have had their vision restored through laser myopia surgery. What’s more, laser myopia surgery is clearly recognized by the National Conscription Medical Examination Standards. The Chinese Ministry of National Defense’s “Medical Examination Standards for Citizens Conscription into the Military” explicitly states that more than six months after excimer laser surgery without complications and with the corresponding standard of vision, qualified. Rumor 3: Vision will rebound after myopia surgery Those who want to have myopia surgery must keep their myopia stable for at least a year before surgery, with the aim of ruling out the potential risk of vision regression after myopia surgery. In addition, for those who do not meet the conditions for myopia surgery, Aier Eye Care strictly does not perform the surgery. As long as the pre-operative examination is qualified, post-operative attention to scientific eye use, regular review, generally will not occur back vision. The more expensive myopia surgery is, the better. There are various types of myopia surgery, and different types of surgery have slightly different eye requirements. The amount of myopia, corneal thickness, fundus examination, and personal eye condition determine what kind of myopia surgery is better for an individual. A strict and complete pre-operative examination at Aler Eye Care will determine the appropriate individual surgical procedure. Rumor 5: Myopic surgery can only correct myopia As the name implies, many friends take for granted that myopic surgery can only correct myopia, which is actually wrong. Myopic surgery is medically known as corneal refractive surgery, which can correct myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism, but requires both hyperopia and astigmatism to be below 600 degrees, and its surgical requirements are basically the same as those for myopia. Refractive errors that are a mixture of myopia and astigmatism can also be corrected.
