To be eligible for a surgery, you should meet the following required and sufficient conditions:You are at least 18 years oldYour parameters for refractive errors, corneal thickness, and corneal map must be within the permissible limits.

You should get eye checked 01 day, 01 week, 1-3-6-12 months after your surgery.

Before the surgery, you will subject to full eye examination steps as follows:Vision, refraction and eye pressure measurementEndothelial cells count to define the corneal central strength and thicknessCorneal typography to analyze your corneal structureBased on the obtained parameters, your doctor will advise you of the best treatment.

The examination and consultation by our doctor will take around 1-2 hours.A refractive surgery will take around 15 minutes for eye cleaning with antiseptic solution and about 15 minutes for surgery of both eyes.You may have your examination and surgery on the same day or on 2 different days

01 day after a Lasik surgery.

It is around 10 – 15 minutes.

A numbing drop will be placed in your eye, the area around your eye will be cleaned, so you will feel no pain at all. After the surgery and when the anesthetic is gone, you will feel a little bit of discomfort which will end after around 4 to 6 hours.

Before a Lasik procedure, you need to undergo a preliminary examination and get detailed consultation. In addition, in case of wearing contact lenses, you are highly recommended to stop wearing them and keep your eyes clean.

In some cases, you may experience a mild and non-worrying subconjunctival hemorrhage which will then gradually disappear.There are some surgeries after which the patients got infected, and the doctors shall prevent this condition by applying antibiotics. Up to now, there is no patients getting infected at the Japan International Eye Hospital as we are applying a very rigorous and scientific examination and care procedure.In addition, patients can also experience complications with corneal flap (this complication is rare). All our Lasik, ReLEx SMILE surgeries are so far safe.

You can drive and work normally after 01 day, and you can make up after 3 days of surgery.

Here is the guidance for your eye care after your surgery:Avoid water in your eyes, wear protective glasses provided by us for the first 3 days after your surgery, and take a shower normally.Avoid playing strong sports or activities for the first 3-5 days, and avoid swimming for 2 weeksAvoid hot spicy foods, alcohol, and stimulants for the first 3 days, then eat normallyUse your computer, smart phone, read books and watch TV right 1 day after your surgery; however, it is recommended to take a break every 15-20 minutes to allow your eyes to accommodate new vision and close your eyes for rest upon any eye strain.Apply prescribed eye drops and carry our follow-up examination as instructed by your doctor.

About 15 minutes for both eyes

Here is the guidance for your eye care after your surgery:Avoid water in your eyes, wear protective glasses provided by us for the first 3 days after your surgery, then take a shower normally after.Avoid playing strong sports and swimming for at least 2 weeksAvoid hot spicy foods, alcohol, and stimulants for the first 3 days, then eat normallyUse your computer, smart phone, read books and watch TV right 1 day after your surgery; however, it is recommended to take a break every 15-20 minutes to allow your eyes to accommodate new vision and close your eyes for rest upon any eye strain.Use prescribed medication and eye drops and carry our follow-up examination as instructed by your doctor.

After 1 month of surgery, you can play competitive sports or vigorous activities

After getting examined and consulted by the doctor, in case you wish to carry out the surgery, you will be required to make a deposit to order your lenses fitting your defined parameters.Normal lenses will reach us after 3-4 weeks. However, in some special cases of complicated parameters or epidemic diseases, waiting time may be 8-10 weeks. After getting the lenses, we will inform you via your registered number and schedule your surgery.

No. You can see things after the surgery. You have a required follow-up examination after 1 day of surgery, and then you have others after 1 week, 1 – 3 – 6 – 12 months or at any time depending on your working schedule and eye conditions.

It takes around 20 – 30 minutes depending on its complexity.

The Phaco surgery usually causes no pain or bleeding, with a very small incision of about 2.8mm only on your corneal edge which requires no stitching and eye bandage after surgery. Postoperative recovery time is very fast.

Your post-operative vision depends on your fundus (retina) conditions which have been examined and diagnosed by the doctor before your surgery. Patients who have surgery in the first stage of cataract often achieve higher vision than the one that have surgery when his/her lens becomes hardened.In most cases, you can see normally in the very first days after your surgery. However, in cases of taking surgery when your lens is too hard, your vision at first can still be blurred, but it will become gradually clear after 1 or 2 days of applying eye drops as instructed by your doctor.

Before making your decision, you will be examined and diagnosed thorough:- Vision, refraction, eye pressure measurement for post-operative vision diagnosis- Retinal imaging for assessing stability of your fundus (retina)- Retinal B-scan ultrasonography to assess the vitreous body- A-scan ultrasonography and IOL Master measurement to calculate the most exact lens power.Based on the obtained parameters, your doctor shall consult and analyze the artificial lenses’ suitability with your eyes, which serves as a basis for selecting the best lenses for you.

You are required to follow your doctor’s instructions concerning the examination steps, and cooperate with him/her during your surgery as well as take medication after your surgery. You also should carry out your follow-up examination timely and keep your eye clean.

Around 1 – 3 days.

It may take 40 minutes to 2 hours depending on its difficulty.

Your eye will be injected with topical anesthetic to make you feel no pain during the surgery. After that, you may feel some aches, as such you may get a sedative to get more comfortable.

You are required to follow your doctor’s instructions on the examination steps, and cooperate with them during your surgery as well as take medications after your surgery. In some cases, you should pay attention to the lying position after your surgery (lying on your back, lying on your stomach, etc.). It is very important that you follow our post-operative follow up schedule and keep your eye clean

On your part: your condition is defected exactly and suited for a vitrectomy.On our part: we must be fully equipped with required equipment, materials and have surgeons are well-trained and experienced in vitrectomy.

After 3 – 7 days.

The best corrected vision (by glasses) before surgery is the maximum vision that the patient will obtains after surgery. In most cases, you will get a perfect vision of 10/10 if your eyes get that vision after adjusting your glasses to its maximum extent before your surgery. However, in case you not only have myopia but also amblyopia, you cannot get that vision even if you wear glasses of the right lens power. In this case, the myopia procedures only help your eyes get maximum vision as in the case with the lens adjusted before the surgery.

Glassy eye is a condition when myopia people do not wear glasses, their eyes are lethargic and not agile because the pupils are not focusing properly on the point to be seen. After LASIK surgery, the eyes are brought back to normal vision and can clearly see images at different distances, so this condition will improve over time.Protruding eye is caused by the fact that the eyeball axis is longer than usual in myopia patients. The LASIK surgery only affects the outer cornea, so this condition cannot be resolved.

Yes. There is a chance of myopia returning back no matter which surgery you did because of the following causes:Your myopia surgery is carried out when you are under 18 years old, at the time that your lens power is not stable yet.Your selected surgery is inappropriate, resulting in too thin cornea after the surgery which is not safe enough for your eyes.Overuse of your eyes after your surgeryChanges in your eyeball axis length (longer) or corneal curve caused by your physiology or other diseases.Cloudy vitreous humor caused by degeneration or disease after your surgery, limiting the light entering your cornea, and resulting in impaired vision.

Yes, there is the chance of myopia returning back if you have a too severe myopia or too thin cornea. However, with the increasingly advanced technologies, this chance is very low.In addition, there are some other caused of your myopia returning back as follows:Your myopia power has not been completely corrected after the surgery (caused by a non-thorough and non-rigorous examination procedure). This condition is completely avoided in our Japan International Eye Hospital.Your myopia surgery is carried out when you are under 18 years oldYour selected surgery is inappropriate, resulting in too thin cornea after the surgery which is not safe enough for your eyes. As such, you are highly recommended to follow a thorough pre-operative examination procedure and the doctor’s advice.Overuse of your eyes after your surgery.In case of myopia returning back after the surgery, you can get another surgery if your corneal thickness allows doing so.

Phakic surgery is an intraocular lens implantation surgery to treat refractive errors. Intraocular lenses with personalized parameters according to your refractive index and inner eye size will be positioned behind your iris, in front of your lens. This is the optimal surgical method for patients with severe myopia or hyperopia of 8-9 diopters at least and/or thin cornea.

•With ICL lenses: up to 18 diopters of nearsightedness, 10 diopters of farsightedness, and 6 diopters of astigmatism•With IPCL lenses: up to 30 diopters of nearsightedness, 15 diopters of farsightedness, and 10 diopters of astigmatism.
In case of excessive refractive powers, you need to wear additional framed glasses or carry out further Lasik surgery to get your vision improved.

Topical anesthetic drops will be placed in your eye, the area around your eye will be cleaned, so you will feel no pain at all.

Right after your Phakic surgery, you may experience a glaucoma if your eyes are sensitive. The symptoms are headache and nausea. In this case, you should immediately notify your surgeon for medication or procedures to lower your eye pressure.

Intraocular lens is made from material with high biological compatibility with the human body. The very small, flexible and transparent lens, approximately over 100 microns thin, is positioned on the empty area behind your iris and in front of your natural lens. Therefore, you absolutely do not feel any entanglement or pain before, during, or after your surgery.

As Intraocular lens is made of a soft, flexible material, it cannot be broken with any impact.

Intraocular lens is designed as a natural part of the human eye. It is small, transparent and placed deeply in your eye, so any normal person or optometrist cannot recognize it when looking into your eyes.

The best corrected vision (by glasses) before surgery is the maximum vision that the patient will obtains after surgery. In most cases, you will get a perfect vision of 10/10 if your eyes get that vision after adjusting your glasses to its maximum extent before your surgery. However, in case you not only have myopia but also amblyopia, you cannot get that vision even if you wear glasses of the right lens power. In this case, the myopia procedures only help your eyes get maximum vision as in the case with the lens adjusted before the surgery.

There is a structure in your eye which looks like a transparent focusing lens, called the lens. It carries the function of refraction and accommodation to help your eye to see near and far objects. If it is no longer transparent, it is called cataract.

The most common cause is aging. Also there are some other causes including congenital condition, trauma, working under strong light for long time, side effects of certain medications or systemic diseases

You are recommended to have your eye checked annually or upon defecting any abnormalities in vision (blurred vision), light perception (glare) or color (color is not bright, sharp). By looking into the lens, the ophthalmologist will know its condition, so you are recommended to take regular examinations.

It mainly occurs in the elderly, but can also occur in young people, children or even infants.

There are 02 ways to treat the cataract:Phaco (or Phacoemulsification). This procedure involves fragmentizing and separating the cloudy lens into small pieces by high frequency ultrasonic waves and aspirating them through a small incision. After the lens particles are removed, an intraocular lens implant, commonly referred to as an IOL, is implanted and positioned into the lenses natural capsule.Laser Cataract surgery shares the same mechanism of fragmentizing the cloudy lens and aspirating it out and implanting an appropriate artificial lens. However, in this procedure, a number of manual operations by the surgeon such as creating an incision, creating a tearing path for the lens membrane and fragmentizing the cloudy lens shall be performed by Femtosecond Laser, bringing many outstanding advantages in terms of accuracy, safety, and quick recovery.

The ideal time to get a cataract surgery is when your vision is about 3/10 – 4/10. In some special cases, for example, you are driving regularly or doing works requiring high accuracy, you can get it when your vision is 5/10 – 6/10. It is not recommended to wait until your vision is completely lost. Because in that case your cataract is too mature which can cause complications and reduce the success rate of the operation.

A successful cataract surgery is the one that leaves no complications. You may have some discomfort for a short time after your surgery which is caused by your dry eyes. If you take follow-up examinations and get medication guidance on time, this discomfort will gradually disappear.

The condition in which the vision becomes blurred after a certain period of Phaco surgery is caused by various reasons. The most popular one is secondary Posterior Capsule Opacification. Posterior capsule is a transparent membrane remained after the surgery to put the artificial lens on. It’s not difficult to deal with this condition. Your vision will be restored by a laser posterior capsulotomy.

Vitrectomy is a surgical intervention on the vitreous humor – the retina (fundus) which it the backmost part of the eyeball.

Retinal detachment, proliferative diabetic retinopathy, macular pucker, severely cloudy vitreous humor, etc.

No. People with myopia have poor distant vision. Therefore, they need to wear glasses to improve their visual function and quality of life. Failure to wear glasses regularly will cause the children’s visual function to be less developed, refractive error disorder, resulting in faster progression of myopia compared to those who wear glasses regularly

In fact, leading experts in ophthalmology claim that there are not any reliable medical studies or proofs showing that people with myopia can regain good vision by those ways. The cases of vision improved after the above “exercises” are due to pseudo myopia – a condition in which the refractive index experiences a temporary increase caused by eyes over accommodation or accommodation disorder.

At school age, children’s eyes have to engage in many close-up activities. During their puberty, their eyeball structure will change a lot, so their myopia will still increase. However, it is possible to control their myopia by encouraging them to wear glasses regularly, join reasonable activities, limit use of electronic devices, spend more time playing outdoors so that their eyes can be trained to see far away. Some other solutions recommended by ophthalmologists to control myopia progression are to use Ortho K overnight lenses, use 0.01% Astropine, and wear framed glasses or multifocal contact lenses. As parent(s), you should consult an ophthalmologist for advice and guidance on suitable solutions for your children’s eyes.

Pure myopia has without retinal damage usually lead to no serious complication. However, a severe myopia can cause peripheral retinal degeneration, resulting in a retinal tear or detachment. This is a very serious complication that can lead to blindness. People with retinal degeneration caused by myopia need regular monitoring and treatment when necessary.

The suitable age for surgery of this kind is at least 18 years old, with stable refractive index, eligible corneal parameters. Therefore, it is necessary to have a comprehensive examination before the surgery to get evaluation and consultation about the best surgical method by the doctor.

Children under 18 years old should wear glasses of the right lens power, take eye examination every 3 or 6 months to control changes in their lens power. During their puberty, the myopia still experiences changes, as such their glasses should be corrected for the best vision.
