Yes! And Here’s What You Need to Know.
If you’ve been told you have dry eyes, you might assume vision correction surgery is off the table. But the truth is, yes! You can have vision correction with dry eyes, and modern EuroEyes technology is making it safer and more effective than ever.
Dry eye syndrome is one of the most common conditions eye surgeons see especially in people who already wear contact lenses or spend long hours on digital devices. And while it used to be a reason to delay or avoid laser eye surgery, today’s advanced diagnostic tools and tailored treatments allow specialists to safely treat many patients with dry eyes.
The key? Understanding the cause and severity of your dry eyes and choosing the right procedure for your unique eye health.
在本文中，我們將解釋：
- 考慮雷射矯正或鏡片矯正時，為什麼眼睛乾澀很重要？
- 適用於乾眼症患者的不同視力矯正方式
- 診所如何在手術前準備您的眼睛
- 康復期間的注意事項
- 以及何時可能不適合進行。
為什麼眼睛乾澀對矯正視力很重要？
當您的眼睛無法分泌足夠的淚水，或淚水蒸發過快時，就會出現乾眼症。這會導致以下症狀
- 脆度
- 灼燒或刺痛
- 視力模糊或起伏不定
- 感光度
- 眼睛疲勞
These symptoms can become more noticeable after vision correction surgery if not addressed properly. That’s because procedures like LASIK or PRK involve the cornea and your tear film plays a vital role in both protecting the eye and supporting healing. If your eyes are already dry, they may struggle to heal efficiently, and vision outcomes could be temporarily affected.
但好消息是：眼睛乾澀並不會讓您自動喪失資格。關鍵在於謹慎的篩檢和個人化的治療，然後再向前邁進。
手術前治療眼睛乾澀
Most leading clinics won’t perform laser surgery on dry eyes that are inflamed or unstable but they will help treat the condition first. This preparation phase is a powerful part of modern vision correction planning.
常見的手術前治療包括
- (不含防腐劑的人工淚液）
- 減少刺激的消炎眼藥水
- Omega-3 補充劑可改善淚液油層
- 透氣塞可阻擋淚水排出而保持濕度
- 減少瞼腺功能障礙的眼瞼衛生常規
- IPL (強烈脈衝光)治療較嚴重的乾眼症個案
With the right care plan, most patients see an improvement in symptoms within weeks, making them suitable for laser or lens-based procedures shortly after.
乾眼症患者的最佳矯視選擇
並非所有的視力矯正手術都會以相同的方式影響眼睛。如果您有眼睛乾澀的問題，您的醫師可能會建議您採用下列其中一種方式：
SMILE (小切口扁桃體摘除術)
SMILE 是一種微創雷射手術，使用微小的切口，與 LASIK 相比，可保留更多的角膜神經。因此術後出現乾眼症狀的機會較低，通常是容易乾眼的人的理想選擇。
晶體置換手朮 (RLE) - 包括 ICL 在內
對於年紀較大或有老花或早期白內障症狀的患者而言，晶體置換手朮可能是較好的選擇。它不會直接影響角膜，這表示乾眼症狀不易惡化。
何時需要等待？
在某些情況下，需要先穩定乾眼症，才能進行手術。在下列情況下，您可能會被要求延遲手術
- 您的淚膜非常不穩定
- 有發炎或角膜損傷的跡象
- 您目前使用的隱形眼鏡會刺激眼睛
- 您的乾眼症與需要處理的全身性疾病有關 (例如：自體免疫疾病)。
But don’t worry, this doesn’t mean no. It just means not yet. Many patients return weeks or months later with much healthier eyes and go on to achieve outstanding results.
Do You Have Options And Support?
Dry eyes are common and they don’t have to stand in the way of life-changing vision correction. With proper assessment, expert care, and a personalised approach, many people with dry eyes go on to achieve excellent surgical outcomes.
If you’ve been told you’re not a candidate in the past or if you’re unsure whether dry eyes will affect your options, book a consultation with a EuroEyes specialist who understands both conditions. The technology has evolved, and so has the approach.
清晰、舒適的視覺仍然唾手可得。
