There are two types of myopia surgery. One is performed using lasers, and the other involves making a small incision on the edge of the cornea to implant an artificial lens into the eye. Corneal laser surgery uses a laser to create a concave mirror on the cornea to resolve the symptoms of blurry vision when looking at distant objects. The ICL surgery, which involves the implantation of an artificial lens, significantly improves the patient's vision after the procedure. Both types of myopia surgeries are currently quite advanced in terms of technology. Therefore, patients who wish to stop wearing glasses and have clear indications from pre-operative examinations can consider undergoing myopia surgery treatment.
