The world of twins is always full of surprises and tacit understanding. No, the two brothers Liu Jun and Liu Jie (pseudonym) not only look similar as if they were copied and pasted, but they even have the same dream in life: to enlist in the army and serve the motherland.

However, the "stumbling block" of myopia blocked the two brothers. The older brother is short-sighted in one eye, and the younger brother is short-sighted in both eyes, which makes them a little frustrated.

After consulting various information on the Internet, the two brothers learned that the "Physical Examination Standards for Citizens Recruited" stipulates that vision can be corrected through myopia surgery as long as they meet the conditions, they can join the army.

So the brothers discussed with their parents. The brothers’ dream was actually their parents’ dream. They supported the brothers’ vision correction through myopia surgery.

The elder brother’s left eye is not myopic, but his right eye is 525 degrees; the younger brother’s left eye is 425 degrees, and his right eye is 450 degrees. After more than 10 preoperative examinations for myopia surgery, Director Liu Shuanglin of the Refractive Department of Yiyang Aier Eye Hospital customized a suitable personalized solution for the brothers based on their specific examination results, corneal thickness, eye needs, etc. Surgical plan.

For the two brothers, choosing to operate together is not only a kind of companionship and encouragement, but also a trust in Yiyang Aier Eye Hospital.

On the second day after the operation, the brothers returned to Yiyang Aier Eye Hospital for review. The vision of both of them achieved the expected visual effects. The brother's postoperative vision in the right eye was 1.0; the brother's postoperative vision in both eyes was 1.2. Theirs The frustration finally dissipated. "Being a soldier was actually my dream when I was young. Now the two brothers have overcome all difficulties and are working hard to realize this dream. I am very happy and supportive," Liu's father said excitedly.

It is understood that in the summary of the "Physical Examination Standards for Recruited Citizens" of the National Military Recruitment Network, in addition to the requirements for vision, there is also special emphasis on the time for myopia surgery to correct vision: Excimer laser surgery for refractive errors (does not include phakic intraocular lens implantation) More than half a year after entering other surgeries), there are no complications , the naked eye visual acuity of any eye reaches 4.8, the fundus examination is normal, and the patient is qualified except for conditions. "More than half a year after laser surgery" refers to participating in the spring recruitment of 2025 (February to March 2025), and the myopia surgery needs to be completed before September 1, 2024.

Liu Shuanglin, director of the refraction department of Yiyang Aier Eye Hospital, reminded: If you want to have myopia surgery to join the army, you should do it half a year in advance, and you must not "just improvise."

Director Liu Shuanglin said that myopia surgery has strict indications and not everyone can do it. Strict preoperative examinations must be conducted to eliminate contraindications. The ophthalmologist will then customize a personalized myopia surgery plan based on the examination results, eye needs, etc., so as to achieve the ideal correction effect. Therefore, for young people who are drafted into the military, the sooner they have surgery, the better their vision will recover, and they will have an advantage during physical examinations. Be sure to have surgery early and try to avoid catching the "last train".
