The higher the degree of myopia, the more corneal tissue must be removed during the operation. In order to ensure the stability of the cornea, corneal thickness should be maintained at at least 280 microns (µm) to avoid Keratoconus. The professional physician will complete a visual assessment to judge whether surgery is suitable. Regardless of whether or not surgery is performed, patients with high degrees of myopia are recommended to perform regular retinal examinations.

Myopia surgery is based on personal needs. If work or lifestyles requires that the patient can not wear glasses, or if glasses and contact lenses cause discomfort, patients may consider surgery. Fortunately, the lower degree of myopia, the less cornea tissue is removed during myopia surgery, resulting in better corneal stability after surgery. Even then, patients must still complete a visual evaluation to confirm whether or not the operation is suitable.

Patients with high intraocular pressure but want to perform myopia surgery must complete a physical evaluation. It is necessary to be able to control intraocular pressure to a stable range. During LASIK surgery, corneal tissue is thinned, and high intraocular pressure may cause corneal deformation and related diseases such as higher order aberration, degree of regression, and cone cornea, among others. The risk of surgery must be acknowledged should the operation be considered. Patients must also maintain a healthy lifestyle after operation to reduce intraocular pressure and the risk of complications.

Patients with Amblyopia can perform LASIK safely, but must first confirm the cause and extent of the disease, and whether it is accompanied by other ophthalmic diseases, by the physician assessment. You may request an optometry evaluation of the best postoperative vision, and consider myopia laser surgery.

Glaucoma patients must first be examined for the severity of the condition, so that physicians can take the proper precautions to avoid increasing retinal nerve damage. Patients should understand that laser surgery can not correct the optic nerve damage caused by glaucoma; it can only help patients no longer wear glasses or corrective lenses.

Patients with common eye allergies may perform LASIK surgery, which is unaffected by allergies and will not aggravate the symptoms of conjunctivitis. Our hospital may provide eye water and oral medicine to relieve the symptoms during the operation.

LASIK can be performed on patients with floaters with no negative symptoms. However, LASIK itself will not remove floaters.

You may see a layer of cloudiness immediately after the surgery, but conditions will improve over the next 6 hours. We recommend that you rest for the night and your eyesight restore to the target vision by the next morning.

Do not wear makeup on the day of inspection, but make eye makeup a little lighter. Before and after the surgery, the alcohol is not restricted, but it is best to come to the operation in accordance with the usual conditions. It is best to have enough sleep before the operation to let the body rest.
