At what degree of myopia will surgery be more effective?

My myopia is only 200 degrees

Is it inappropriate to undergo myopia surgery?

I have 800 degrees of myopia.

Can I still have myopia surgery?

Let’s talk about it today

How much myopia is there?

Is myopia surgery more effective?

01. Classification of myopia surgery

Zhang Qingsong, a 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, explained that the current myopia surgery procedures are mainly divided into two categories, one is subtraction, that is, laser myopia surgery, and the other is addition, that is, ICL artificial lens implantation. Among them, laser myopia surgery is divided into many types, such as precision carving myopia surgery, which performs targeted and customized surgery based on corneal topography, and the visual quality after surgery is better. The advantage of all-femtosecond myopia surgery is that there is no need to make a corneal flap, it is more minimally invasive, and the experience is more comfortable. The ICL artificial lens implantation can be understood as the implantation of a special contact lens in the eye. It can correct myopia within 1800 degrees, which is more suitable for myopic patients with thin corneas and high degrees. Therefore, no matter how many degrees of myopia you have, it is possible to find a myopia surgery that suits you through preoperative examinations.

02. Myopia

It is not the only criterion for judging surgical methods and effects

In order to ensure the high safety of the surgery and the high-quality postoperative visual effect, Wuhan University Aier Eye Hospital will conduct about 18 preoperative examinations to exclude patients who do not meet the surgical conditions. If the preoperative examination determines that myopia surgery is suitable, Wuhan University Aier Eye Hospital will use its expertise and high technology to ensure the postoperative effect of myopia surgery. There is no proportional relationship between the degree of myopia and the postoperative visual effect.

It's just the degree that is different. The difference in naked eye vision before and after the operation is very different. After surgery, friends with high myopia feel that their vision is much clearer, while this feeling is not so strong for patients with low myopia. It's the same as the feeling of jumping from the last place to the first place and from the second place to the first place.
