What age is Xi'an ophthalmic myopic surgery suitable for?

Ophthalmic myopia surgery is one of the effective methods to treat myopia at present, especially in Xi'an, there are many professional eye hospitals providing this service. However, not all ages are suitable for myopia surgery. This article will elaborate the applicable age of Xi'an ophthalmic myopic surgery from the following aspects to help readers better understand the precautions of surgery.

Surgery for childhood myopia

The age range for myopia surgery in childhood is usually 6-18 years old. With the growth and development of children, the degree of myopia will gradually stabilize, so surgery in adolescence can effectively control the progress of myopia. However, the eyeballs of younger children are still developing, and surgery may have a greater impact on the eyeballs, which needs careful selection. Some large ophthalmic hospitals will carry out detailed eye examinations before myopia surgery for children to ensure that the children's eye health is suitable for surgery.

The operation of myopia in childhood needs the explicit consent of parents, and the recovery after the operation needs to be closely watched. After the operation, the child needs to follow the doctor's advice for daily care, such as taking eyedrops regularly and avoiding strenuous exercise, to ensure the stability of the operation effect.

Adult myopia surgery

For adults, the applicable age for ophthalmic myopia surgery is generally above 18 years old. The eyeball development of adults has been basically stable, and the degree of myopia will not change significantly, so the effect of surgery is relatively more stable. In addition, the health condition, corneal thickness and myopia degree of the eyes of adults should be comprehensively considered before the ophthalmic myopia surgery.

There are many kinds of adult myopia surgery, such as laser myopia surgery, lens implantation surgery, etc. Different surgical methods are applicable to different age ranges. Therefore, in addition to age, professional ophthalmologists should also be consulted to make appropriate decisions according to personal conditions when selecting the operation mode.

Surgery for senile myopia

With the growth of age, the function of the eyes will gradually decline, and the degree of myopia of the elderly may also change. Therefore, for older patients, the applicability of ophthalmic myopia surgery is low. If surgery is really needed, the ophthalmologist will provide professional medical advice based on the patient's eye condition, health status, surgical risk and other factors.
