Is Corneal Strengthening Necessary After Vision Correction Surgery?

Is Corneal Strengthening Necessary After Vision Correction Surgery?

After any type of laser vision correction surgery, the cornea inevitably becomes thinner. To withstand this, the cornea must maintain a certain level of strength. If a specific part of the cornea becomes too thin, that area can weaken, bulge outward, and lead to irregular astigmatism known as keratoconus.

Corneal strengthening can help reduce the risk of post-surgical complications. Today, corneal strengthening is performed not as a treatment, but as a preventive procedure. By combining corneal strengthening with vision correction surgery, the weakened cornea can be better protected against future instability.

What are the Benefits of Corneal Strengthening?

Corneal strengthening helps reinforce the cornea, which may have been weakened during vision correction surgery. Research shows that corneal tissue treated with strengthening is less prone to regression after surgery. While it can be beneficial for anyone, not undergoing corneal strengthening does not necessarily mean there will be a problem.

This procedure is especially recommended for patients with high myopia, where the cornea tends to be weaker.
