In most cases, myopia correction surgery does not result in complications; however, some patients may experience discomfort such as dry eyes. It is recommended that individuals considering myopia correction surgery seek treatment at a specialized ophthalmology clinic. During treatment, avoid excessive eye strain, strictly follow the physician’s instructions regarding medication, and attend scheduled follow-up examinations—these measures can help minimize the risk of complications.
