If you are in any of these 3 situations, do not undergo myopia surgery!

When it comes to myopia surgery, many people are both yearning and worried. They yearn for the pleasure of "taking off glasses and seeing the world clearly", but they are also worried about the rumors that myopia surgery is unsafe. Myopia surgery is a formal method of correcting myopia, and it should be viewed with a rational attitude. The safety of surgery has its limits. If it is within the limits, the safety of the surgery is trustworthy, but in some cases, the surgery also has higher risks and must be performed with caution.

1. Minors are not suitable for surgery

Wearing glasses is quite restrictive, and minors are lively and active, so they do have a strong need to take off their glasses. However, minors are in the stage of physical development, and their myopia is likely to further deepen. Myopia surgery can only correct the current myopia degree, and cannot prevent future changes in degree. Therefore, unless there is a special need, minors should not undergo myopia surgery. If you still want to take off your glasses, it is recommended to wear glasses at night when sleeping and take off the orthokeratology lenses during the day to obtain clear vision.

2. Unsuitable eye conditions

Myopia surgery is a transformation and upgrade of the eyes. It can correct myopia, but it is limited to correcting myopia. If there are other eye problems, it is powerless. Therefore, if there are other eye problems, it is recommended to treat them first and then see if myopia surgery can be performed, otherwise it may affect the safety and effectiveness of the operation.

In addition to checking for eye problems, myopia surgery also needs to consider eye conditions such as the development trend of myopia, corneal thickness (laser surgery), and insufficient corneal endothelial cells (ICL lens implantation). Therefore, preoperative examination is essential to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the operation.

3. Unsuitable physical condition

Physical conditions other than the eyes also need to be considered, such as uncontrolled systemic connective tissue diseases and severe autoimmune diseases; systemic infectious diseases; uncontrolled diabetes... These problems may also bring additional uncertainties to the surgery.

In short, if you are worried about whether myopia surgery is safe, instead of searching for various information on the Internet, you might as well go to the hospital for a detailed preoperative examination and let a professional doctor determine whether you meet the conditions for surgery. If you do, you can rest assured to take off your glasses.
