Can laser surgery treat myopia?
Disease description:
My own eyes are now myopic at −3.00 diopters; without glasses, objects appear extremely blurry, which I find highly inconvenient. I’ve heard that myopia can now be treated quite effectively—can laser surgery correct myopia?

Hello, laser surgery can correct myopia; however, there are strict eligibility criteria, and not all individuals with myopia are suitable candidates for laser refractive surgery. For instance, patients under the age of 18 or those with systemic conditions such as diabetes are generally not eligible. Prior to undergoing laser vision correction, patients must undergo a comprehensive ophthalmic examination at a hospital to determine whether they meet all surgical requirements. We hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you a happy and healthy life!
