What age group is suitable for

Wuhan West China Hospital is a medical institution specializing in ophthalmic surgery. The age groups suitable for myopia surgery are mainly as follows:

1. Adults:

Adult myopia surgery is a key service of West China Hospital. Generally speaking, the corneal development of adults is basically stable, and their eyeball morphology is relatively fixed. Therefore, adult myopia surgery can significantly improve vision problems, and also reduce the potential risk caused by high myopia. Different surgical methods can be selected according to the specific conditions of patients, such as LASIK, SMILE, etc.

2. Teenagers:

In recent years, there is an obvious trend of young myopia patients. For young people, West China Hospital also provides myopia surgery services. However, the visual development of adolescents is not yet fully mature, and the eye morphology may also be changing. Therefore, when performing myopia surgery on adolescents, doctors will pay more attention to the safety and stability of surgery to ensure the effect of surgery and the safety of patients.

In addition, surgery for juvenile myopia should meet the following conditions: the patient has a high degree of myopia, the use of glasses or contact lenses cannot meet the needs of daily life and learning, the vision is stable for more than one year, and the patient has initiative and cooperation in surgery.

3. Middle aged people:

Myopia surgery for middle-aged people is also one of the service objects of West China Hospital. With the growth of age, middle-aged people may face the problem of declining binocular vision, and the degree of myopia may gradually deepen. Through myopia surgery, we can reduce the dependence on glasses or contact lenses and improve the quality of life. When middle-aged people perform myopia surgery, doctors will comprehensively consider the patient's eyeball shape, corneal thickness and other related factors to select the most suitable surgical method.

4. Minors:

According to the regulations of West China Hospital, teenagers under the age of 18 need to be approved by their guardians and accompanied to the hospital. After professional examination and evaluation, they can decide whether to perform myopia surgery. This is for the protection of physical and mental health of adolescents to ensure the safety and effectiveness of surgery.

For patients of different ages, doctors will choose the most suitable surgical method according to the specific conditions and needs of patients, and pay attention to the safety, effectiveness and stability of the operation.
