Who is suitable for myopia surgery?

With the accelerated pace of modern life and the widespread use of mobile phones and computers, myopia has become a common eye health problem. However, different people have different types and degrees of myopia, and not everyone is suitable for myopia surgery. In Dalian Changchun Road Ophthalmology Hospital, we provide patients with personalized surgery plans through detailed inspection and evaluation.

Age requirements

Myopic surgery is suitable for people aged between 18 and 55. In this age group, the development of the eyeball has been basically stable, the diopter change is relatively small, and the surgical effect is more stable and reliable. For patients who are too young, on the one hand, their eyeballs are still developing, so it is difficult to predict the surgical effect, and on the other hand, their cooperation ability in the surgical process is poor. The eye development of the over aged population has been stable, but there may be other eye health problems, which requires a comprehensive assessment by the doctor.

Within the age of 18 to 55, if the eyeball has been stably developed, and there are no other eye health problems through ophthalmic examination, even if the age is slightly older, myopia surgery can still be considered.

Diopter requirements

Myopia surgery is applicable to patients with myopia between -1.00 and -10.00. For people with low myopia, other correction methods can be considered, such as wearing suitable glasses or contact lenses. For people with high myopia, the surgical effect may not be as expected, which requires professional evaluation by doctors.

When determining the surgical indication, the doctor will also consider the patient's corneal curvature, eye axis length and other factors to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the operation.

Health status requirements

Myopia surgery is applicable to patients with healthy body and no other eye diseases. Common conditions not suitable for surgery include corneal disease, glaucoma, dry eye, conjunctivitis, etc. For these patients, treatment should be carried out first, and surgery should not be considered until the eye lesions are stable.

In addition, patients should not have serious chronic diseases such as autoimmune diseases, metabolic diseases and blood system diseases. These diseases may have adverse effects on the surgical process and postoperative recovery.

Expected effects and risks

Myopic surgery can significantly improve the vision of patients and reduce dependence on glasses or contact lenses. Most patients can obviously feel the improvement of vision after surgery, and the time of stable vision is generally within six months to one year after surgery.

However, myopia surgery also has certain risks, including infection, dry eye, surgery failure, etc. In Dalian Changchun Road Ophthalmology Hospital, we have an experienced medical team that uses advanced surgical equipment and technology to minimize the risk of surgery.

In conclusion, myopic surgery is applicable to patients between 18 and 55 years old, with myopia degree between -1.00 and -10.00, who are healthy and have no other eye diseases. Through careful patient evaluation and professional surgical techniques, Dalian Changchun Road Eye Hospital will provide patients with safe and effective solutions for myopia surgery.
