First of all, the doctor will give the patient eyedrops to ease pain and discomfort. Then, create a thin flap on the surface of the cornea, use a laser to peel it off, and expose the patient's retina. Next, doctors will use lasers to change the curvature in the center of the cornea to correct vision problems* After that, the doctor will put the corneal flap back in place and wait for its natural healing. The whole procedure usually takes only a few minutes.
2. Postoperative recovery

However, it may take weeks or even months to fully recover to * good condition. In the first week after surgery, patients need to pay attention to the following aspects:

The patient can relieve discomfort by dropping eyedrops. Secondly, patients should avoid rubbing their eyes or exposure to dust, pollutants and other irritant environments during recovery* After that, the patient should follow the doctor's instructions and follow the rules for further consultation and medication to ensure a smooth recovery.

Some patients may experience complications such as dry eye, nocturnal halo, visual fluctuation or corneal scar after surgery.
