Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Wang Shuai
Laser surgery for myopia can correct up to 1200 degrees, but this depends on the patient's eye condition.
Full femtosecond laser surgery is suitable for patients with good corneal shape, normal corneal thickness, stable myopia under 1000 degrees. Semi-femtosecond laser surgery is more appropriate for patients with thinner corneas or higher degrees of myopia.
For high myopia exceeding 1200 degrees, alternative surgical options such as implantable collamer lens (ICL) surgery may need to be considered.
