Is it good to treat myopia with full femtosecond laser?

In general, the effect of using the all-femtosecond laser to treat myopia is quite good, making it an ideal choice for many myopic patients. The all-femtosecond laser surgery, also known as femtosecond laser small incision corneal stromal lenticule extraction, uses femtosecond laser to accurately scan and carve a lenticule of specific shape within the corneal stroma. Then, the lenticule is removed through a small incision, usually 2mm-4mm in size, thereby changing the corneal curvature to achieve the purpose of correcting myopia.

The all-femtosecond procedure uses laser for precise scanning and carving, with a very small incision and minimal damage to the cornea, which helps rapid postoperative recovery. Due to the small incision and the intact corneal surface nerves, the biomechanical stability of the cornea after all-femtosecond surgery is relatively high, reducing the risk of postoperative complications such as corneal ectasia. Most patients can use their eyes normally the day after the surgery, experiencing rapid visual recovery, which is especially suitable for individuals engaging in high-intensity sports.

Prior to undergoing all-femtosecond surgery, patients need to undergo comprehensive preoperative examinations, including visual acuity, refractive status, corneal thickness, corneal topography, intraocular pressure, and others, to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the surgery. After surgery, patients should follow medical advice to properly care for eye hygiene and avoid infection. Additionally, they should avoid rubbing the eyes, prevent water from entering the eyes, use eye drops on schedule, maintain good eye hygiene, and avoid strenuous activities to promote postoperative recovery.
