Wisdom tooth extraction and myopia
Hello, I am 28 and my dentist has finally decided its time to remove all of my wisdom teeth.
I have -6 myopia and im a little worried that the surgery could cause problems for my eyes, for example a trauma related RD. Are my fears a little unfounded or should I just discuss this with my surgeon to take extra care?

Not a problem unless the Dentists puts his hand on your eye to steady it while pulling the tooth out. Not very likely at all. However I would share your concerns with the dentist.
