Does astigmatism operation have sequela

Astigmatism is a common eye disease, belonging to a type of refractive error. For adult patients with astigmatism, if you do not want to wear glasses or rigid contact lenses for correction, you can also consider surgery. Although surgery is very mature at this stage, but there are still possible sequelae. At this stage, there are two main surgical methods for correcting astigmatism, laser correction and intraocular lens implantation. The sequelae of the two surgical methods are also different. Laser correction surgery may result in sequelae such as dry eye, corneal scar, corneal infection, glare, etc., while intraocular lens implantation surgery may result in sequelae such as intraocular infection, accelerated cataract formation, secondary glaucoma, etc. Therefore, patients with astigmatism need a detailed and comprehensive eye examination in the ophthalmology department of the hospital before undergoing surgery to determine whether surgery is suitable for correction.
