What should Guangdong Affiliated Hospital pay attention to after femtosecond surgery?
Femto laser surgery (Femto LASIK) is a common myopia correction surgery. Guangdong Affiliated Hospital is a professional hospital with rich experience and advanced equipment. Although femtosecond surgery is safe and reliable, it still requires patients to pay attention to some matters after surgery to ensure the surgical effect and postoperative comfort of patients. The following will elaborate on the following aspects: postoperative eye care, diet attention, avoiding eye irritation, and regular reexamination.
Postoperative eye care
The first few days after surgery are the most sensitive period for the eyes, and patients need to pay special attention to eye care. First of all, the eyes will feel uncomfortable and dry. You can use the eye drops recommended by the doctor. Secondly, patients should avoid rubbing their eyes, as this may lead to eye infection or wound cracking. In addition, special care should be taken when washing your face to avoid water splashing into your eyes. It is best to gently wipe the skin around your eyes with clean water.
In addition, patients need to wear eyewear after surgery to prevent external dust and foreign bodies from entering the eyes, especially at night or when going out. The goggles should be kept clean and replaced regularly to avoid bacterial infection of the eyes.
Finally, it is recommended that patients avoid strenuous exercise and physical labor, because this will increase the pressure on the eyes and may cause complications. Rest and relaxation of the eye is an important part of postoperative rehabilitation. Patients need to take adequate rest to speed up recovery.
Diet attention
Special attention should also be paid to the postoperative diet. Patients should avoid eating irritating foods, such as chili, ginger and garlic, to avoid eye irritation and aggravating discomfort. In addition, too greasy and heavy tasting food should also be avoided to avoid indigestion and gastrointestinal problems.
In terms of diet, patients are advised to take more vitamin C, E and β- Carotene foods, such as citrus fruits, green vegetables and carrots, are helpful to the recovery of eyes and the growth of new blood vessels.
Avoid eye irritation
Postoperative eye irritation should be avoided to avoid affecting the surgical effect and hurting the eye. First, patients need to avoid contacting polluted water sources, such as swimming pools, bathtubs and tap water. Secondly, chemical substances such as cosmetics and perfume should be avoided as they may cause eye allergy.
In addition, patients also need to avoid using their eyes for a long time, especially when facing the computer screen or mobile phone screen for too long. Long term eye use is easy to fatigue and dryness, which affects the surgical effect. It is recommended that patients take a rest every 30-40 minutes, and adjust away from the screen at the same time.
Finally, it is necessary to remind patients to pay special attention to sunscreen. Ultraviolet rays in the sun do great harm to the eyes, and the eyes after surgery are more vulnerable, so patients need to wear sunglasses or use sunshades and other protective measures.
Regular review
Regular postoperative reexamination is an important part of postoperative nursing. Regular reexamination can find and deal with some potential problems in time to ensure the surgical effect and patient comfort. It is usually recommended that patients should be reexamined on the first day, one week and one month after surgery. The doctor will conduct eye examinations to evaluate the postoperative effect and deal with possible complications.
During the regular reexamination, the patient can consult the doctor about daily care and rehabilitation, and the doctor will also give appropriate advice and guidance according to the situation.
Summary
Femtosecond surgery is a common myopia correction surgery, but postoperative patients still need to pay attention to some matters to ensure the surgical effect and postoperative comfort of patients. Postoperative eye care, diet attention, avoiding eye irritation and regular reexamination are the aspects that need special attention. Patients can take proper care of their eyes and maintain good living habits according to the guidance and suggestions of doctors to help them recover quickly.
