Want to have myopia surgery after the college entrance examination? Keep this guide!

01 Check the vision requirements of the major you are applying for

02 Self-test whether it meets the requirements

1. First check whether the following basic conditions are met

Aged > 18, willing to remove glasses, myopia degree has been stable in the past two years, increasing by < 50 degrees each year.

After the above basic conditions are met:

2. Go to a professional hospital for preoperative examination of myopia surgery

Based on the specific examination results, the doctor will ultimately determine whether you are suitable for myopia surgery and give a suitable surgical plan.

03 Prepare in advance and make an appointment for preoperative examination

When is the best time for college entrance examination candidates to undergo surgery?

If there are vision requirements for your school or major selection, in order to avoid restrictions on your application, it is recommended that you go to the hospital for a preoperative examination and make an appointment for surgery as soon as possible after the college entrance examination.

If you want to change your image and make your life more convenient, there is no time limit. You can choose to complete the surgery before school starts in September and try to leave time for your eyes to recover.

Preparations before seeing a doctor

①Candidates who plan to undergo myopia correction surgery after the college entrance examination should know the physical examination time in advance. It is important to plan the surgery time well.

② A special reminder to friends who wear contact lenses: they should stop wearing contact lenses before the preoperative examination . Usually, soft lenses should be stopped for 1 week, RGP hard lenses should be stopped for 1 month, and orthokeratology lenses should be stopped for 3 months.

③Please do not drive to the hospital on the same day , as the examination requires dilation of the pupils. After dilation, things may be a little blurry and you may be afraid of strong light, but it will not affect your daily life . It is recommended that you prepare sunglasses. You will recover 4-8 hours after dilation .

④Please make an appointment for the examination at least one day in advance .

⑤The examination takes 1-2 hours and does no harm to the eyes.

04 Choose the right procedure

Each person's eye conditions are different, and the appropriate myopia surgery method is also different. You need to fully communicate with your doctor based on your own examination results and needs to choose the appropriate surgery method.

Currently, the mainstream myopia surgery methods are mainly divided into two types: laser myopia surgery (all-femtosecond, half-femtosecond, all-laser) and ICL lens implantation.

Laser myopia surgery is a "subtractive" surgery that uses laser to ablate the cornea and correct myopia by changing the thickness and curvature of the cornea.

Lens implantation is an "additive" surgery that corrects myopia by implanting an artificial lens with a certain degree in the eye.

All- femtosecond surgery All-femtosecond surgery does not require the creation of a corneal flap. The femtosecond laser creates a uniform, smooth microlens in the corneal stroma, and then removes the microlens through a 2mm tiny laser incision, changing the refraction angle of light passing through the eye and correcting vision.
The whole operation process of all-femtosecond surgery can be completed in one step, which is comfortable during the operation and stable vision after the operation. The biomechanical stability of the cornea is relatively high, which is suitable for people with regular corneal morphology.

Semi-femtosecond surgery uses femtosecond laser to create a corneal flap on the cornea, and then excimer laser ablation is used. The laser is guided for precise cutting based on the preoperative corneal topography of the myopic patient .
Semi-femtosecond surgery has high precision, smoother cutting surface and better visual quality after surgery.

The excimer laser first cuts the corneal epithelial tissue, and then performs excimer laser scanning. Both steps of the operation are completed in one step using one excimer laser device.

No contact: fully automated cutting, no manual equipment required.

No negative pressure : better intraoperative comfort, easier patient cooperation, better maintenance of intraocular structure, and avoidance of intraoperative complications such as negative pressure loss.

Flapless: No corneal flap is required, which can avoid corneal flap-related complications and is relatively safe.

No scars, no incisions: Armass excimer fully automatic cutting, corneal epithelium heals after surgery. Surface cutting, good corneal biomechanical stability.

High visual quality: Through SPT intelligent pulse technology, the emission position spacing of laser pulses on the corneal surface is consistent, achieving a better laser spot overlapping effect, obtaining a very smooth corneal stroma surface, facilitating corneal epithelial migration and growth, promoting early vision recovery, faster postoperative healing, and better visual quality.

High degree of personalization: Combined with wavefront aberration, it opens up the function of customizing the corneal epithelial cutting model according to the patient's corneal epithelial thickness measurement data.

Ic lens implantation

The refractive state is corrected by implanting an artificial lens with a certain degree in the eye. ICL lens implantation is suitable for people with high myopia and super high myopia.

The correction range is wide; the cornea is not cut during the entire operation, and the lens can be permanently retained in the eye and can be removed at any time.

Students who want to correct their myopia through surgery must make plans in advance after the college entrance examination.

Myopia surgery is a rigorous and precise operation, so you must choose a professional and regular hospital to complete the preoperative examination , choose the surgical method that suits you, and provide long-term postoperative care to ensure the safety of the operation and stable results.
