The correction effect depends on the technical level of the refractive surgeon, which determines the refractive surgeon’s Decisive position in correction.
It is no exaggeration to say that choosing a refractive doctor that suits you is half the battle.
But both public and private eye hospitals have good technology and expertise. How do we choose whether a refractive doctor with poor skills is suitable for us?

Choosing a professional, conscientious and responsible myopia surgeon plays a decisive role in the success or failure of myopia surgery. How to choose a doctor for myopia surgery in Ningbo? Come on, let’s take a moment today to review:
1. Education and employment background
First of all, let’s take a look The doctor’s ophthalmology education background, formal ophthalmology institution employment education background, further education experience, etc. This is a relatively rough standard, but it still has certain reference value. What should be noted here is that although doctors who graduated from famous ophthalmology schools have a higher starting point, they should not be overly limited to famous schools. How skilled a doctor is is measured by a combination of multiple factors.
2. Professional certification
The more outstanding a doctor is in his profession and his pursuit of career development, the higher the value of the professional certification he can obtain.
3. Academic achievements
If a doctor's research direction is ophthalmology and he is publishing papers one after another, he is already a doctor who has made great achievements and pursued academic achievements
4. Technical level (practical experience, number of operating tables)
Let’s not talk about eye surgeries, but for other more general surgeries, everyone hopes that the doctor will be experienced and highly skilled. . Such doctors can conduct comprehensive comparative analysis based on detailed preoperative examination data and design precise surgical plans. The great thing about big-name experts is not their daily operations, but their ability to respond to emergencies and formulate reasonable and effective responses.
It is very important to learn more about the doctor’s surgical cases through various channels. You can use online reviews. Many doctors have opened some consultation and registration services on the Internet. We can learn more about them through patient reviews.
The second is to search by yourself. Many hospitals will share some of the doctors’ surgical cases on major platforms. Generally, they can be found by searching on the Internet.
The third is to go to the hospital for inspection. You can stop at the door of the clinic to chat with those who come for review. You can ask someone to find the staff in the hospital to understand the situation. You can also find ways to make friends with people in the hospital. , and then learn more about this person. In short, as long as you have this intention, you will always find a way to collect this information.
It is not recommended to choose doctors who have stopped performing surgeries or who have returned to the hospital after retirement. They may have had superb medical skills, but doctors, especially those who need to perform surgeries, will inevitably become rusty after being away from the operating table for a long time.
5. Surgical skills
Even if you prefer a certain surgical technique, it is still recommended that you choose a doctor who can flexibly use various surgical techniques. Because which kind of surgery you can choose is determined by your own conditions. You can’t just do whatever you want. It still requires a comprehensive consideration and judgment by the doctor: the doctor will make a comprehensive decision based on the customer’s eyeball conditions, professional characteristics, hobbies, and financial strength, etc. Based on the factors, a personalized surgical plan is developed. For example, if athletes or soldiers join the military and often perform impact movements, then full femtosecond laser surgery is the first choice.
As for what surgeries each hospital can perform, it is recommended that you find out before going there to avoid missing out. After all, not all hospitals in Ningbo can perform all femtosecond surgeries.
6. Medical team
Finally, we also need to take a look at the medical team where the doctor works. Because a doctor does not fight alone, he is surrounded by optometrists, nurses, assistants, customer service staff, and even caregivers and cleaning staff, who are all important members of the team.
In fact, there are many standards for a good doctor. Everyone has different understandings of what a good doctor is due to their own experience, experience, and understanding. Just like Shakespeare's classic saying, "There are a thousand Hamlets for a thousand readers." The same view of a good doctor is that a thousand people have a thousand standards for a good doctor. Maybe the more you know, the higher your demands.
Remember: technical level > surgical skills > medical team > professional certification > academic achievement > education and employment background.
Of course, if a doctor ranks top in the above reference standards, that would be really good!
2. On-site inspection of the hospital where the doctor works
After the preliminary screening of refractive doctors, understand the hospital where the doctor works through on-site inspection and make evaluation conditions for the final selection.
To determine whether the hospital is legitimate, you can refer to:
1) The comprehensive strength of the medical institution should be examined
For myopia surgery, you must choose a professional ophthalmology department with strength. The success of an operation is not only related to technology, but also factors such as hospital equipment, the qualification level of the surgeon and the service of the medical staff.
These elements have long been established in formal professional ophthalmology, and diagnosis and treatment have strict standards, so choosing such an ophthalmology itself provides a kind of safety guarantee.
2) Professional operation to ensure the best results
Surgical equipment has been fully upgraded, and the entire surgical procedure "measures" the eye with customized laser treatment for myopia, which requires extremely high surgical equipment. It mainly depends on the quality of the equipment, and the accuracy requirements of the equipment are measured in microns. Therefore, choosing the surgical equipment and surgical method that suits you is the most important.
3) Doctors have different surgical operations, and reliable doctors are more at ease
Good equipment can only have the greatest effect if it is operated by skilled doctors. The human body is a complex system, and various organs have subtle relationships. Usually skilled experts will have a certain guarantee on the treatment effect, so it is necessary to go to a professional eye hospital for treatment.
3. Understand your own eye condition, and choose the best refractive surgery doctor and eye hospital based on your actual needs
How to choose the myopia surgery that suits you
< p>Generally, the lower the degree of myopia, the wider the range of options available. For example, patients with myopia below 600 degrees can choose excimer, half-femtosecond, full-femtosecond and other laser myopia surgeries if the corneal thickness is appropriate. Patients with high myopia of 600-1000 degrees will have a smaller range of choices. Usually they can only choose half-femtosecond or full-femtosecond. Some with inappropriate corneal thickness may even have to choose ICL lens implantation. For patients with very high myopia above 1000 degrees, it is generally recommended to choose ICL lens implantation.I have seen on the Internet that there are many kinds of myopia surgeries. How should we choose? The most expensive one is the best, right?
Myopia correction surgery is not something you can just choose.
Each surgical method has its own characteristics and is best suited to the population and scope. After more than 20 comprehensive eye examinations, the doctor will conduct a comprehensive evaluation based on the examination results to finally determine which surgical method is suitable for you. . After that, the remaining methods can be chosen according to our needs.
When everyone conducts face-to-face consultations with the selected refractive doctors and the ophthalmology hospital where they are located,
After understanding the comparison between the doctor's technical level and the hospital's conditions, if the doctor's technical level is not much different, Under the circumstances, there will definitely be a choice in mind.
Second, after completing the above steps, the next step is to prepare for myopia surgery
1. Precautions before myopia surgery
1. Stop wearing contact lenses 7 days before surgery.
2. Use antibiotic eye drops 12 times as directed by the doctor, 4 times a day for three days before surgery. The day before surgery, order 12 times before 10pm. 1 drop each time. How to apply the medicine: Wash your hands, open the lower eyelids with your index finger, drop the eye drops into the conjunctiva, and close your eyes for 5-10 minutes. Be careful not to poke your eyes with the mouth of the bottle~
3. Gaze point training. Open both eyes, cover your right eye lightly with your right hand, and look at the tip of your left index finger with your left eye for 1 minute, at a distance of 20 to 30 centimeters. Perform training 3-4 times with both eyes and hands alternately.
4. The day before the operation, wash your hair and bathe well. Avoid getting dirty water into your eyes within 3 days after the operation. Pay attention to rest the night before surgery and do not stay up late. The surgery is safe and there is no need to be nervous.
5. Do not wear makeup or perfume on the day of surgery.
6. On the day of surgery, it is recommended to arrange for a companion to accompany you during the surgery.
Four important points before myopia surgery need to be reiterated:
01 Do not conceal your medical history for surgery
Before myopia surgery, the doctor When asking about the medical history, some myopic children and their parents worry that the inability to undergo surgery will affect their willingness to apply for the exam, so they hide some medical history, but in fact they are harming themselves.
There are certain indications and contraindications for myopia surgery. If there are eye diseases such as acute conjunctivitis, blepharitis, keratitis, dacryocystitis, etc., you need to wait for the eye disease to be treated before surgery. If you have keratoconus, glaucoma, etc., you are not suitable for myopia surgery.
So, despite strict preoperative examinations, myopic friends must not deliberately conceal their condition to increase the risk of surgery.
02 Strict preoperative examination is the basis
Whether myopia surgery can be performed and what kind of surgical method is suitable can only be judged through preoperative examination. A qualified preoperative examination usually takes about 2 and a half hours. After more than 20 detailed and in-depth examinations, the core key data needs to be repeatedly compared with different examination equipment.
To avoid surgical risks and achieve good postoperative visual effects, preoperative examination is a very critical step.
If you wear contact lenses, you need to stop wearing them for more than 1 week for ordinary soft contact lenses, more than 1 month for hard contact lenses, and more than 3 months for orthokeratology lenses.
03 Don’t blindly pursue cheap prices
The myopia surgery market is a mixed bag, and the quality of surgery varies. Some hospitals attract patients with ridiculously low prices, without adequate and in-depth preoperative examinations, let alone It is equipped with a variety of advanced surgical equipment, and there are no professional refractive experts to conduct surgical plans and technical checks on surgical quality.
If you blindly pursue low prices, intraoperative safety and postoperative results may not be guaranteed.
04 Be sure to find a professional doctor for surgery
Myopia surgery has high requirements on the doctor’s surgical experience, professional ability, psychological quality and doctor-patient communication skills. Experts with superb skills, rich surgical experience, and long-term focus on the field of refractive surgery are an important guarantee for avoiding the risks of myopia surgery.
