The time required for visual recovery after myopia surgery depends on the surgical method used. For ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) surgery, visual recovery typically takes about two weeks, whereas corneal laser ablation surgery generally requires four to six weeks. After surgery, patients must pay close attention to proper eye use: avoid ocular trauma, prevent foreign bodies from entering the eyes (which could cause infection), and especially avoid excessive eye fatigue. Regular follow-up examinations are also essential.
