Is it possible to undergo laser eye surgery for 800 degrees of myopia?
I am a 26-year-old female with 800 degrees of myopia. Having worn glasses for many years, I find them very inconvenient and would like to get rid of them through surgery. However, I'm unsure whether 800-degree myopia is suitable for refractive surgery.

Myopia of 800 degrees can usually be corrected through surgery, but a detailed examination is required to determine whether a patient is a suitable candidate. Refractive surgeries, such as laser-based or lens implantation procedures, have certain ranges of applicability for myopia correction, and 800 degrees falls within the acceptable range. However, the feasibility of surgery also depends on factors such as corneal thickness, the health condition of the retina, and other ocular factors. If the cornea is too thin or other eye diseases are present, laser surgery may not be suitable, but lens implantation surgery could be considered as an alternative.
Prior to deciding on surgery, it is necessary to visit a reputable hospital for comprehensive eye examinations, including corneal topography, intraocular pressure measurement, and retinal evaluation. Based on the results, the doctor will recommend the most suitable surgical procedure, and explain the associated risks and postoperative care instructions. In daily life, patients should avoid wearing contact lenses for a period of time before surgery to ensure the accuracy of preoperative testing and the surgical procedure. After surgery, patients must strictly follow medical advice regarding the use of eye drops and attend regular follow-up appointments to ensure proper recovery. If there are any doubts or concerns about the surgery, it is advisable to have an in-depth discussion with the doctor to understand more details before making a decision.
