How many degrees of myopia can be treated with surgery?

In general, individuals with myopia ranging from 100 to 1000 degrees are eligible for refractive surgery. If surgery is needed, it is recommended to choose a reputable hospital. The detailed analysis is as follows:

For patients with 100-degree myopia, surgery is typically considered when their vision has stabilized, there are no ocular inflammatory diseases, and preoperative evaluations confirm the absence of contraindications. In such cases, due to the relatively low degree of myopia, patients often have favorable corneal conditions, making them suitable candidates for corneal refractive procedures such as SMILE (small incision lenticule extraction) or LASIK (laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis) at a qualified hospital. These procedures can precisely correct myopia and usually allow for rapid postoperative recovery, enabling patients to regain clear vision within a short period. On the other hand, for patients with 1000-degree myopia, factors such as age and stability of the refractive error are more carefully evaluated. Due to the high degree of myopia, surgical options such as implantable collamer lens (ICL) implantation may be recommended. This method is also effective in correcting severe myopia, although postoperative recovery may be relatively slower, requiring greater attention to eye care and healthy visual habits.

Regardless of whether the myopia is 100 or 1000 degrees, surgery should always be performed at a正规 hospital by experienced surgeons to ensure safety and effectiveness. Additionally, patients should fully understand the potential risks before surgery and strictly follow the doctor’s instructions for postoperative recovery and eye care.
