Hello,
With the question “Can my eyes be operated on by congenital nearsightedness? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
The doctor needs to see if your current situation is still increasing myopia or not, usually will follow up when the increase is over, then perform surgery, and will perform ICL surgery, not surgery. Laser art.
If you still have questions about congenital myopia, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wish you a lot of health.
