Myths about Refractive Surgeries
18 September, 2023
❓ “Surgery is very painful?”
Right before surgery, your eyes will be numbed, thanks to the Topical Anesthesia , so you will not feel any pain during and after surgery.
Myths about Refractive Surgery
❓ “You must abstain from contact with electronic screens and read books for a few months.”
WRONG. You can still touch electronic screens and read books. However, you should follow the rules of eye care after surgery so that your eyes can rest and relax.
❓ “The higher the nearsightedness, the more expensive the surgery?”
The surgery cost will not be based on your nearsightedness but will depend on the most optimal surgical method that your doctor will consult you after an in-depth examination.
❓ “You will be nearsighted again after a few years?”
The re-exposure in a patient who has had surgery will depend on many factors in the individual eye, the degree of myopia and visual acuity before surgery, the daily exposure environment, and the method the patient has chosen for a previous surgery.
And there are still many other questions about refractive surgery. For more detailed advice on surgical methods, please contact Prima Medical Center Saigon.
