First, the horizon is limited.
Myopia surgery is not suitable for everyone. Maybe the doctor with glasses you saw, his eye condition is not suitable for surgery. Because there are some taboos in myopia surgery, the surgical taboos mainly include keratoconus, corneal thinness, glaucoma, rabbit eyes, severe dry eye and active inflammation of the eyes, and correct severe amblyopia with poor vision; Systemic diseases that affect wound healing, such as diabetes, autoimmune diseases and scar constitution, cannot be operated. In addition, some doctors with glasses are old and have presbyopia. Even if they do it now, they may suffer from cataract in the near future. Obviously, if they operate now, it won't help much.
Second, personal wishes.
Myopia surgery is not like resection of malignant tumor or fixed reduction of fracture, it is an operation that everyone has to accept. Glasses with glasses frames and contact lenses can correct myopia, and people with shallow degrees can also do without glasses. The question is how to choose. At present, the people receiving laser surgery for myopia are generally young people, mostly white-collar workers and students. Most of them have the need to change their image, find a job, recruit or have a physical examination at school, while most doctors have stable jobs with relatively few requirements.
Third, the work needs
Secondly, it is related to the nature of the doctor's work. Because of the requirements of fine surgery, ophthalmologists have higher requirements for near vision. From the professional needs, it is best for an ophthalmologist to have 300 degrees myopia, which is more convenient to work. After the college entrance examination, doctors' myopia diopters are basically below 400 degrees, while ophthalmologists, after decades of hard study, begin to mature their knowledge, skills and experience at the age of 40. If they take off their nearsighted glasses, they may have to wear another pair of reading glasses. From this point of view, an ophthalmologist with myopia of about 300 degrees does not need to undergo myopia laser surgery.
So everyone can rest assured to have myopia surgery. Generally speaking, laser myopia surgery is very safe and effective.
Many people will feel very curious, why some people are doctors themselves, but they don't do myopia surgery for the following three reasons:
First, the horizon is limited.
