Many male students have a lot of questions before undergoing LASIK surgery for nearsightedness. Some students ask: Can I play basketball after my nearsightedness surgery?
1. If you have high myopia (600 to 900 degrees), laser surgery only reshapes the cornea into the shape of glasses, it does not improve the retina. If there is retinal disease, it's best not to play basketball as it may cause or induce retinal detachment. For these patients, it's best to regularly check the retina for any vitreous opacity, retinal scarring, or cavities between the vitreous and retina. If there are no retinal diseases, playing basketball is safer; otherwise, it is more dangerous. However, it is very difficult to accurately check how far the patient's retinal disease has progressed, and it is also impossible to measure the force between the vitreous and retina, which makes the evaluation difficult.
2. If you have over 900 degrees of myopia, you should avoid playing basketball because even if you undergo laser surgery, complications from myopia can still occur.
3. The corneal wound takes a long time to heal completely. In basketball games, it's easy to get hit in the eye, even a relatively mild impact can easily lead to displacement of the corneal flap. Therefore, strenuous activities should also be avoided.
