Can someone with 200 degrees of myopia have surgery?

Patient's question:

A while ago, I felt like my vision was getting more blurry, so I went to an optician to check my vision results and found that my prescription had increased to 200 degrees. I then got a pair of glasses. But for aesthetic reasons, I want to consider surgery in the future. Can someone with 200 degrees of myopia have surgery?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, myopia is usually caused by changes in the eye axis due to improper eye use. It is recommended that if your myopia degree is not very high and you have no special needs, surgery is not recommended. Although the hormones used in surgery are very mature at present, surgery is not zero-risk. Pay attention to rest and eye use, especially for mobile phones, computers, TVs, etc., try to use them less, and wear appropriate glasses to prevent visual fatigue and the increase in myopia degree.
