What sequela does laser myopia surgery have?

Laser myopia surgery is a common method to treat myopia, however, there may be some potential sequelae after surgery. Here are some common sequelae for everyone to have a comprehensive understanding.

1. Dry eye: Dry eye after operation is one of the most common sequelae. During the operation, laser may affect the nerves of cornea, resulting in less tears in eyes. Dry eye may cause dryness, pain, blurred vision and eye fatigue. Most dry eye symptoms will be relieved within a few months after operation, but some patients may need to use eye drops and moisturizer for a long time.

2. Halo and starlight: Some patients will see halo or starlight in a dark environment after operation. This condition usually improves within a few months after operation, but it may last longer for some patients. This is due to the shape change of cornea during the operation.

3. Vision degradation: Although most patients have achieved obvious vision improvement through laser myopia surgery, in a few cases, vision may deteriorate for a period of time after surgery. This may be caused by the change of corneal condition during eye healing, so it is very important to check it regularly and follow the doctor's advice.

4. Inability to see clearly or ghost: Some patients may have symptoms of inability to see clearly or ghost after operation. This may be due to the change of corneal morphology after operation, or it may be due to the incomplete correction of postoperative vision problems. Regular review and close communication with doctors will help to find and solve such problems in time.

It should be pointed out that these sequelae are mild and temporary in most patients, and rarely have a significant impact on normal life. Most postoperative patients can enjoy obvious vision improvement and get rid of dependence on glasses or contact lenses.

However, the risk of postoperative complications and sequelae varies from person to person, which may be affected by various factors such as surgical techniques, eye health and individual physiological characteristics. Therefore, before deciding whether to accept laser myopia surgery, please have in-depth discussion and evaluation with a professional team of doctors. The doctor will provide you with appropriate suggestions and treatment plans according to your personal situation and needs.

In short, laser myopia surgery may have some sequelae, such as dry eye, halo and starlight, vision degradation and unclear or double image. Although these sequelae are usually temporary, we still suggest that you consult and discuss with a professional team of doctors in detail in order to fully understand the risks and effects of surgery.
