What should Guangzhou Overseas Chinese Hospital pay attention to before femtosecond surgery?
Femtosecond laser is a modern ophthalmic surgery technology, which is widely used in myopia correction by Guangzhou Overseas Chinese Hospital. Before femtosecond surgery, patients need to carry out a series of preparations and precautions. This article will elaborate on what should be paid attention to before femtosecond surgery in Guangzhou Overseas Chinese Hospital from four aspects.
Preoperative examination and consultation
Before making surgical decisions, patients need to undergo a series of preoperative examinations and consultations. This includes a comprehensive eye examination and optometry to determine whether the surgery is suitable for the patient, and to assess the risks and possible complications of the surgery. At the same time, the doctor will inform the patient of the detailed information about the operation, including the operation principle, postoperative precautions and expected effects.
In addition, the patient also needs to inform the doctor of his medical history, medication and allergy history so that the doctor can evaluate the safety of the operation. For some special cases, such as pregnant women, breast-feeding women, patients receiving other eye treatment or suffering from other eye diseases, further assessment and consultation may be required.
Discontinue contact lenses and eye care products
Before undergoing femtosecond surgery, patients need to stop using contact lenses and eye care products. Contact lenses may change the shape of the cornea, affecting the accuracy and effect of surgery. Therefore, patients should stop using contact lenses for a period of time before surgery, and the specific time of stopping using contact lenses depends on the doctor's suggestions.
In addition, the chemical components in eye care products may have a certain impact on surgery. Therefore, patients need to stop using eye care products, including eye cream, mascara and other cosmetics before surgery. This can avoid infection or other complications during the operation.
Adjust diet and rest
Diet and rest before surgery are also very important. Patients should keep a regular diet and avoid eating stimulating foods and drinks, such as pepper and coffee. These foods and drinks may cause dilation of blood vessels in the eye and affect the operation.
In addition, patients need to ensure adequate sleep and rest before surgery. Insufficient sleep may lead to eye fatigue and elevated intraocular pressure, which is not conducive to the operation and postoperative recovery. Therefore, patients should maintain good sleep quality, have sufficient rest, and be fully prepared for surgery.
Preoperative relaxation and psychological preparation
Relaxation and psychological preparation before surgery are equally important for patients. Femtosecond surgery is a minimally invasive surgery, but it may also cause a certain degree of anxiety and tension. Therefore, patients need to learn to relax themselves and keep a peaceful mind.
In addition, patients also need to have a correct understanding of the risks of surgery and postoperative effects. Although the technology of femtosecond surgery is advanced, there are still some risks, such as infection, postoperative vision fluctuation, etc. Therefore, the patient needs to fully communicate and understand with the doctor before the operation to have a clear understanding of the risks and possible complications of the operation.
epilogue
The femtosecond surgery in Guangzhou Overseas Chinese Hospital is a modern myopia correction surgery, but patients need to pay attention to some details before the surgery. Patients should receive comprehensive preoperative examination and consultation, stop using contact lenses and eye care products, adjust diet and rest, and relax and prepare mentally. These precautions can ensure the safety and effect of the operation and promote the smooth recovery after the operation.
