If the vision does not meet the requirements for military enlistment, it can be corrected through laser surgery for myopia.

First, Measures for Handling Unqualified Vision for Military Enlistment

Some individuals may meet all other physical requirements but be rejected solely due to their unqualified vision, preventing them from realizing their dreams. In such cases, laser surgery may be the only option. Currently, the minimum vision standard for military enlistment is 4.5. Although we may be nearsighted, our vision can be restored to normal levels after laser surgery. Therefore, it is essential to determine the timing of the surgery before undergoing military medical examination. The recovery time can be used as a reference, and details can be consulted with a professional doctor. After the surgery, it is necessary to protect the eyes properly and wait patiently for the medical examination, ultimately realizing one's dreams.

Second, Preparation for Myopia Surgery

1. Stop wearing contact lenses in advance. For those intending to undergo myopia surgery, it is recommended to stop wearing ordinary contact lenses for one week, RGP corneal contact lenses for one month, and MCT corneal reshaping lenses for three months.

2. Conduct preoperative eye examination as early as possible. If acute conjunctivitis, blepharitis, keratitis, dacryocystitis, or other eye diseases are found during the preoperative eye examination, it is necessary to treat the relevant eye diseases before undergoing myopia surgery. Therefore, students intending to enlist in the military or apply for military schools should undergo a preoperative examination at a hospital now to ensure a smooth surgery in the future. Otherwise, they may miss the opportunity due to certain eye conditions that prevent immediate surgery.

3. Allow sufficient postoperative recovery time. Although normal vision can be resumed the day after myopia surgery, it is recommended to schedule the surgery earlier to allow for a more sufficient recovery period. Not everyone is suitable for myopia surgery. Therefore, individuals intending to undergo the procedure are advised to schedule a preoperative examination to assess their suitability.

For many young people with myopia, the vision standards for military recruitment physical examination are quite strict. It is crucial not to hold any lucky mindset. Those who intend to enlist in the military and have myopia must prepare half a year in advance. Based on past experiences, some patients rush to ophthalmology hospitals for emergency surgery only one day before their military recruitment physical examination, expecting to undergo surgery the next day. However, this often does not work out as planned, and they ultimately lose the opportunity to join the military due to unqualified vision.
