Myopic eye surgery doesn't hurt

Myopic eye surgery is painless.

There are two types of surgical treatments for myopia: first, corneal refractive surgery; and second, intraocular refractive surgery, both of which are painless during surgery. Whether intraocular refractive surgery or corneal refractive surgery, surgery requires the use of surface anesthesia drugs,

In the operation the eyes will be in a state of anesthesia, so there will not be any pain manifestation, and the surgical trauma is very small, even if the end of the operation after the anesthesia effect disappears, there will be no pain, and may be only manifested as a mild foreign body sensation.
