Does myopia correction rebound?
Will there be a rebound after myopia correction surgery? Generally, it relates to two aspects. The first is associated with your pre-surgery degree of myopia; the second relates to your habits in using your eyes after the surgery. Generally speaking, the higher the degree of myopia before the surgery, the more likely a rebound will occur. Roughly speaking, if your degree of myopia was above 700 degrees before the surgery, there's about a 20% to 30% chance of rebounding. However, a rebound does not mean it will return to the previous degree of over 700; typically, it might rebound by around 100 to 200 degrees. The second aspect is significantly related to your post-surgery visual habits. If, after the surgery, you frequently use computers, read documents, or use your phone, there’s a higher chance of experiencing some degree of rebound. Conversely, if your screen time is less, the proportion of myopia rebound tends to be smaller.
