Introduction to LASIK laser surgery

Shanghai Eye Hospital has always been committed to providing patients with * advanced ophthalmic treatment technology. LASIK (Laser Corneal Correction) is one of the common and widely used vision correction techniques. The laser technology is used to change the shape of the cornea to correct myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. However, LASIK laser surgery is not suitable for all people and needs to be judged according to individual conditions.

Applicable conditions of LASIK laser surgery

First of all, LASIK laser surgery can only be performed on people over 18 years old. This is because before the age of 18, the development of the human eye has not been completed, and it is not suitable to perform corneal shape change surgery. Secondly, the degree of myopia of patients should be within a certain range, which is generally limited to -1.00 to -12.00 degrees. For hyperopia and astigmatism, LASIK laser surgery can only be performed within a certain range. In addition, the refractive stability of the patient's eyes is also an important factor for this operation.

In addition to the requirements of age and diopter, the patient's eye health also needs to be considered. People with retinopathy, keratitis, dry eye and other diseases are not suitable for LASIK laser surgery. In addition, pregnant and lactating women are also not suitable for such operations.

To determine whether LASIK laser surgery is suitable, * a good way is to consult a professional ophthalmologist. They will evaluate and make recommendations based on the patient's individual conditions and examination results.

However, LASIK laser surgery also has some risks. For example, dry eye, vision change, light sensitivity, infection and other complications may occur after surgery. Although the incidence of these complications is low, patients should fully understand these potential risks when deciding whether to perform LASIK laser surgery.
