When friends often go to the myopia surgery hospital for consultation, they often see that many doctors also wear glasses. Sometimes they even enter the operating table and find that the chief surgeon wears glasses. At this time, friends often have questions, why do ophthalmologists wear glasses themselves? Is the operation unsafe?
In fact, myopia surgery is one of the current several myopia correction programs (other programs include frame glasses, contact lenses, orthokeratology lenses, intraocular lens implantation and lens replacement, etc.), which belongs to a selective treatment, not everyone needs to accept. Of course, there are also many doctors who have been away from glasses through surgery.
First of all, many doctors and their families remove their glasses through myopia surgery
Patients only see a few ophthalmologists wearing glasses, but they don't know that many ophthalmologists and their families remove their glasses through surgery, but you can't see it. If the operation is not safe, how can they take the risk?
Secondly, not all people are suitable for myopia surgery
That is to say, myopia surgery has clear indications and contraindications, such as age limit, too thin cornea, or suffering from keratoconus, glaucoma and other physical diseases, can not do surgery. Some ophthalmologists are not qualified to do myopia surgery.
Finally, it is more convenient for ophthalmologists to wear glasses at work
In close contact with patients, some diseases transmitted by body fluids may also be transmitted through conjunctiva, and at this time, glasses can play the role of protective glasses to a certain extent; in addition, from the perspective of professional needs, ophthalmologists are mainly engaged in close work, and moderate close vision provides convenience for their work.
