What are the methods of myopia surgery?

Myopia is a common vision problem, and myopia surgery can help restore normal vision. At Aier Eye Care, we offer a variety of myopia surgery methods, including femtosecond laser, full femtosecond laser, and ICL lens implantation.

1. Femtosecond Laser Surgery: Also known as LASIK surgery or FS-LASIK surgery, this is a myopia correction procedure performed using a combination of femtosecond laser equipment and excimer laser equipment. In the process of hemi-femtosecond surgery, the hemi-femtosecond laser is used to create a corneal flap, and then the excimer laser is used to ablate the cornea. Compared to full femtosecond surgery, the need to create a corneal flap during hemi-femtosecond surgery requires more effort and time for post-operative care and recovery.

2. Full Femtosecond Laser Surgery: Also known as SMILE surgery, it is a myopia correction surgery that uses a femtosecond laser device to perform the entire procedure. Full Femtosecond Laser Surgery focuses on creating a corneal microlens on the corneal stroma by using a femtosecond laser. The surgeon simply removes the lens and the surgery is complete, with the entire cornea biomechanically more stable. This surgical technique provides a more precise and predictable correction while reducing the process of flap making in traditional surgery.

3. ICL Lens Implantation: ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) lens implantation is a surgical procedure that corrects myopia by implanting an artificial lens with adjustable transparency. During ICL surgery, the surgeon implants a collapsible IOL in the eye to change the refraction of light to correct myopia. Unlike laser surgery, ICL surgery does not require cutting of the cornea, and therefore requires less corneal shape and thickness.

When choosing a method of myopia surgery, the surgeon will look at a number of factors, including the patient's eye health, the amount of myopia, the condition of the cornea, and the individual's needs, in order to formulate the best possible surgical plan. We recommend that you have a detailed evaluation and consultation with an experienced ophthalmologist to determine the best surgical method for you.
