Myopia surgery is not reimbursed by medical insurance.

Myopia surgery can improve the appearance of girls to a certain extent, and can save boys from the trouble of wearing glasses when doing sports and fitness. Although myopia surgery brings great benefits to myopia, it is not a treatment in itself, so it is not covered by medical insurance.

Reimbursement scope.

1. There is no need to be hospitalized after myopia surgery. First of all, although myopia surgery is performed on the eyes, due to the continuous improvement of medical technology and equipment, it is ultra-minimally invasive and harmless to the eyes, and no bandaging is required after the operation. The visual acuity will be about 3 to 4 hours after the operation.

That is, there is a significant improvement, so there is no need to be hospitalized after myopia surgery, and you can go home after a short rest.

2. Myopia surgery is not covered by medical insurance reimbursement anywhere. All myopia surgery is not covered by medical insurance. It is an outpatient ultra-minimally invasive surgery. Although my country's medical security system is now in a state of improvement, laser myopia surgery is not covered by medical insurance. Eye surgery is similar to oculoplastic surgery. It is not a must-have surgery for everyone with myopia. Therefore, myopia surgery is not within the scope of medical insurance reimbursement stipulated by the state.
