Help you break those rumors about myopia surgery one by one

After the college entrance examination, many students choose to have myopia surgery. Some do so for university majors or career planning, while others just want to take off their thick glasses. So, should you have myopia surgery after the college entrance examination? What should you pay attention to if you want to have surgery?

1. Why do many students choose to undergo myopia surgery after the college entrance examination?

Choosing to have myopia surgery after the college entrance examination is a popular choice, because the human body's refractive state is relatively stable at this age. If you are too young, your vision is not yet mature; if you are too old, you will gradually start to have presbyopia. Myopia surgery cannot solve these problems. Myopia surgery is suitable for patients in adulthood.

2. Can myopia surgery correct vision?

Myopia surgery can correct vision, but the prerequisite is that the patient must be safe and meet the conditions for surgery. In other words, strict and sufficient examinations must be carried out before surgery, and surgery can only be performed if the conditions are met.

Usually, before performing myopia surgery, the doctor will conduct a thorough examination of the patient's eyes to understand what degree of correction will restore the patient to best vision, and then design the surgery based on the examination results.

The goal of the surgery is to achieve the best vision that the patient can currently achieve with glasses. Sometimes, the vision after surgery is even better than the corrected vision before the surgery.

3. Will I be free from myopia after having myopia surgery?

Zhang Qingsong, deputy chief physician, member of the Refractive Subcommittee of the Ophthalmology Committee of the China Association of Non-public Medical Institutions, and director of the Refractive Department of the Aier Eye Hospital affiliated to Wuhan University (Aier Eye Hospital Group Hubei General Hospital), said: After the myopia surgery, it is not like entering a "safe" and there will be no vision problems from then on. If you do not protect your eyes well after the surgery and do not use your eyes in a standardized way, then you may still become myopic again.

4. What suggestions do you have for young people who flock to get myopia surgery?

Regarding this issue, Dr. Huang Na, attending physician and refractive specialist at Wuhan University Aier Eye Hospital, once again emphasized four points:

a. Before the operation, it is necessary to make sure whether the myopia is relatively stable. If the myopia is getting worse, it is not suitable for myopia surgery;

b. Choose a qualified hospital;

c. Be sure to follow the doctor's instructions before and after surgery;

d. After myopia surgery, you still need to protect your eyes scientifically and reasonably to achieve long-term effects of the surgery.
