Myopia surgery experience in Xi’an, this is my second surgery

Many people ask me, why do I need to risk myopia surgery again? The first time was 10 years ago, but now the surgical methods and doctors' skills have been rapidly improved. Facts have proved that Xi'an's myopia surgery experience is successful.

Let me first talk about my first myopia surgery. It was done in a hospital in Beijing. It was almost ten years ago. It was a traditional surgery, not femtosecond surgery. My vision started to improve last year. That didn't work anymore. I went to an optical shop for an optometrist and found out that I had 300 degrees of myopia and slight astigmatism. I had no choice but to wear glasses again. From then on, I embarked on the bumpy road of myopia surgery in Xi'an.

Because the situation was very complicated, I went to a big hospital and had a full set of examinations. The doctor looked at my examination form for a long time, but his attitude was not clear. He only said that I should make my own decision and it would be fine. Okay, it’s okay not to do it. At that time, I urgently needed a definite and clear answer. Can I have a second surgery in this situation? Is it risky if I do it? Later, he died without any illness.

Unwilling to give up, I checked various information about myopia surgery in Xi’an on the Internet, especially secondary myopia surgery, and suddenly found a piece of news that was very similar to my situation, and it was also a secondary surgery. , it was done by Cao Wenjuan of Xi'an Huaxia Eye Hospital. She quickly contacted his team and thanked them for the convenient communication method now.

I sent the previous examination sheet, and about half an hour later, I got a reply from Assistant Dean Cao Wenjuan, confirming that the operation was possible. I would go to the hospital for re-examination on a different date and communicate in person. (Let me talk about it here, Each hospital only recognizes its own examinations, and doctors may look at examinations from other hospitals, but they can only be used as a reference)

The path to myopia surgery in Xi'an became smoother, so I asked for leave the next day. When I went to Xi'an Huaxia Eye Hospital, I saw that Cao Wenjuan was different from what I imagined. She looked about 40 years old. I thought she was in her fifties or sixties. She looked very young. She treated patients with enthusiasm, no pretensions, and no indifference. , various questions will be answered clearly. Due to my special situation, the examination and communication took 3 hours, focusing on communication about the surgical plan, risks, and surgical expectations.

Regarding the surgical plan, my idea is that it is natural to do femtosecond surgery, but if it cannot be done, there is no need to force it. Cao Wenjuan’s explanation is that there is no problem if we do femtosecond. As for the surgery expectations, Cao Wenjuan said that my left eye will be better, probably around 1.0, and my right eye will be slightly worse, around 0.8. If both eyes look at the same time, it will be above 1.0. This vision is still acceptable, so I will definitely do it now.

I won’t write about the surgical process. There are many on the Internet. If you are interested, just search for it yourself.

Let’s talk about the recovery after myopia surgery in Xi’an. Compared with the full femtosecond surgery, the recovery is definitely slower, 0.6, 0.6 in the first day, 0.6, 0.8 in the first week, and half a month. 0.8, 1.0~~ (Don’t be impatient, wait patiently, your vision will recover, and don’t doubt the doctor’s skills)

A message to patients undergoing secondary myopia surgery:

There are many choices for myopia surgery hospitals, doctors, methods and costs in Xi'an. This is a double-edged sword, which gives us many choices, but also requires us to be able to choose and have a pair of discerning eyes to find the doctor that suits us.

Here, I would like to say thank you to my surgeon, Dr. Cao Wenjuan~
