Wuhan Best Eye Hospital: Do you still need to wear glasses after myopia surgery?

Myopic surgery is a common way to correct vision, which can significantly improve patients' vision problems. However, many people are still uncertain whether they still need to wear glasses after surgery. Wuhan Best Eye Hospital is a professional eye hospital. Here we will elaborate on four aspects to answer this common question.

Operation type and correction effect

Wuhan Jia Eye Hospital provides a variety of myopia surgery methods, including laser refractive surgery and intraocular lens implantation surgery. These operations can correct myopia by changing the shape or refractive power of the eyeball. The effect of surgery will vary according to individual conditions, but generally speaking, the degree of myopia can be significantly reduced or completely eliminated after surgery.

However, surgery does not guarantee complete removal of glasses. In some special cases, such as high intensity myopia or older patients, it may be necessary to retain a certain degree of myopia to maintain the normal function of the eyes. In this case, although surgery can reduce the degree of myopia, glasses may still be needed to obtain better visual effects.

Visual condition after operation

Although surgery can significantly improve the degree of myopia, patients still need to adapt for a period of time after surgery to achieve the best visual effect. The stability and recovery of vision after surgery need some time, and individual differences are large. During this adjustment period, the patient may feel unclear vision or some discomfort.

Therefore, even if the patient no longer uses glasses after surgery, the doctor still recommends regular reexamination to understand the recovery of vision. During the reexamination, if necessary, the doctor may recommend wearing glasses for a short or long time to obtain better visual effect.

Corneal condition and sequelae after surgery

Myopic surgery will transform the cornea, so the condition of the cornea is an important factor that needs attention. After surgery, patients need to regularly review the thickness and shape of the cornea to ensure that there are no unnecessary risks and complications during the surgery.

Although Wuhan Jiayan Eye Hospital uses advanced surgical equipment and technology to minimize the risk of surgery, some patients may experience discomfort or sequelae after surgery. These include dry eye, changes in visual sensitivity, etc. In these cases, the doctor may recommend continuing to wear glasses to relieve symptoms.

conclusion

In general, myopia surgery can significantly improve the degree of myopia, but whether glasses are still needed depends on personal conditions. The type of operation and correction effect, visual condition, corneal condition and sequelae will all affect the answer to this question. Therefore, it is recommended to consult a professional doctor before the operation to understand your situation in detail and follow the doctor's advice to obtain the best visual effect.
