Dalian Medic Eye Hospital: What are the indications of laser surgery for myopia?

Dalian Medyk Eye Hospital is a hospital specializing in ophthalmic diagnosis and treatment, with advanced equipment and an experienced team of doctors. Myopia is one of the common ophthalmic problems in modern society, and laser surgery can be an effective treatment. So, what are the indications of laser surgery for myopia? This article will elaborate from four aspects: angle, age, eye health and life needs.

Angle: limit of myopia degree

The indication of laser surgery for myopia should first consider the limitation of the degree of myopia. Generally speaking, the degree of myopia suitable for laser surgery is between 200-1000 degrees, and different preoperative examinations will also confirm this. Too high myopia may require other surgical treatments.

In addition, attention should be paid to the health and refractive stability of the eyeball. Only when the cornea and eyeball structure are healthy and stable, and the degree of myopia is relatively stable, can laser surgery be considered.

It is worth mentioning that, with the development of science and technology, some hospitals have also begun to try to carry out higher myopia laser surgery. The specific limits need to be judged under the guidance of doctors.

Age: the difference between adults and adolescents

The indication of laser surgery for myopia is also related to age. Generally speaking, adult myopia takes a long time to form, and the degree of myopia is relatively stable, which is suitable for laser surgery. For teenagers, as the eyeball is still growing, the degree of myopia may further deepen, so it is generally recommended to wait until the eyeball is stable before surgery.

Specifically, the cornea and eyeball structure of adults have been relatively stable, and the surgical effect is more predictable. However, the eyeballs of teenagers are still growing, and the degree of myopia may increase again after surgery, so it needs more careful consideration.

Eye health: whether there are other eye diseases

In addition to the degree and age of myopia, the indication of laser surgery for myopia also needs to consider the patient's eye health. Some people may have other eye diseases, such as corneal diseases, ametropia, etc., which may affect the surgical effect or safety. Therefore, before considering laser surgery, detailed eye examination is required to ensure the safety and effect of surgery.

Life demand: Is it suitable for laser surgery

Finally, there is another factor that needs to be considered is personal life needs. Although laser surgery for myopia can effectively improve myopia, it is not a solution for everyone. For example, people engaged in some high-intensity sports may need better vision, and laser surgery can meet their requirements.

However, some people may not be very concerned about myopia or have concerns about surgery, so they can choose other glasses or contact lenses to meet their vision needs. Therefore, personal life needs and expectations need to be considered before deciding whether to perform laser surgery.

To sum up, the indications of laser surgery for myopia in Dalian Medyk Eye Hospital mainly include moderate myopia, healthy cornea and eyeball, adults, etc. However, for each individual, the determination of indications also requires comprehensive judgment of doctors. If you are a myopic patient, you can go to Dalian Medic Eye Hospital for consultation and examination to determine whether it is suitable for laser surgery.
