One of the misconceptions: Excimer laser surgery can cure all eye diseases.  Many patients and their families believe that excimer laser surgery can cure myopia and other eye diseases, and some patients even believe that they will not get cataracts in the future. In fact, laser surgery is used to correct refractive errors and improve vision by adjusting the curvature of the cornea so that myopic patients can avoid the pain of wearing glasses. Excimer laser surgery is not a cure-all, and it cannot treat other eye diseases.  Myth #2: Excimer laser surgery is for everyone.  During the consultation, we often encounter many high school students asking for surgery, and many people think that they can do myopia surgery whenever they want. In principle, myopic patients should be between the ages of 18 and 50 before they can undergo excimer laser surgery. Patients suffering from SLE, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, hepatitis and other serious eye diseases should choose excimer laser surgery more carefully. Laser treatment does not require an incision. Many lasers are used in medical applications that are surgical in nature. Laser surgery is rarely traumatic and has characteristics such as slight damage, good accuracy and fast vision improvement compared to traditional surgery, but it is not the same as not needing surgery.  Myth No. 3: There will be no recurrence after laser surgery.  The development of myopia is a gradual process that is related to physical development and fitness, environment, and study and work habits. After surgery, in terms of refractive power, vision has returned to normal, getting rid of the inconvenience of wearing glasses. However, myopia mainly refers to the eye axis is too long, surgery can not make the eye axis shorten, but only changed the refractive power of the cornea, the progressive process of myopia did not end, so to remind the majority of myopic patients, should do laser surgery after the relative stability of myopia, and to maintain good habits, so that the effect will be stable.  Myth No. 4: Blind treatment leads to poor results.  The current propaganda about excimer laser surgery is booming, and many patients blindly listen to inaccurate advertising and excessive greed for cheap, while ignoring the medical level and related auxiliary conditions, resulting in less than ideal surgical results. Therefore, myopic patients should be reminded that they should understand in detail the purpose of the surgery, the process and the possible post-operative conditions, and undergo careful examination before the surgery to determine whether they are suitable for the surgery or what kind of surgery they should choose, and should not ignore the links in order to save time, and should not do it as they arrive, so as not to lose a lot due to smallness.
