How long does the femtosecond surgery take in a hospital in Guangzhou?
Femtosecond laser is the latest, safest and most accurate method of ophthalmic surgery, which is widely used in ophthalmic surgery by a hospital in Guangzhou. It is mainly used to correct myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism and other eye problems. So, how long does the femtosecond surgery in a hospital in Guangzhou take? The following is a detailed introduction from four aspects: operation time, preoperative preparation, intraoperative steps and postoperative nursing.
Operation time
Femtosecond surgery in a hospital in Guangzhou usually takes only a very short time, usually between 5 and 10 minutes. During the operation, doctors will use professional laser equipment to operate the eyes to ensure the accuracy and safety of the operation. Because femtosecond laser surgery is a very delicate operation, the operation time is relatively short.
Before the operation, the doctor will conduct a comprehensive eye examination of the patient to determine the operation plan and specific operation time. The length of the operation is also affected by the severity of the patient's eye problems, and some patients may need a longer operation time.
Preoperative preparation
Before femtosecond surgery, patients need to make some preoperative preparations. First, the patient needs to undergo eye examinations, including optometry, fundus examination, corneal topography, etc., to determine whether the patient is suitable for femtosecond surgery. Secondly, patients need to stop wearing contact lenses as instructed by doctors, because contact lenses will affect the surgical effect.
In addition, patients need to keep their eyes clean before surgery to avoid cosmetics residue in the eye area. Patients should also follow the doctor's instructions to regulate their diet and avoid eating spicy and irritant food and drinking alcoholic beverages.
Intraoperative procedure
The intraoperative steps of femtosecond surgery are relatively simple and mainly divided into the following steps. First of all, the doctor will give the patient eyedrops to anaesthetize the eyes, so that the patient's eyes feel no pain. Then, doctors will use femtosecond lasers to cut and laser correct the cornea. During the operation, the patient needs to cooperate with the doctor to keep the eye stable.
The advantage of femtosecond surgery lies in its high accuracy and safety. During the operation, doctors use laser to micro cut the cornea, avoiding the risk that the blade directly contacts the cornea in traditional surgery. In this way, patients not only have a comfortable surgical process, but also have a short recovery time after surgery, reducing the risk of infection and complications.
Postoperative care
Postoperative care of femtosecond surgery is very important, and patients need to be nursed in strict accordance with the doctor's instructions. After surgery, the patient will feel slight discomfort in the eyes, but will not have obvious pain. Doctors will provide patients with eyedrops and anti-inflammatory drugs to help patients prevent infection and reduce discomfort.
Patients need to follow the doctor's instructions, avoid rubbing and squeezing the eyes, keep the eyes clean, and avoid external irritation to the eyes. At the same time, patients need to avoid entering ponds, seawater and other environments to avoid infection.
In a word, the femtosecond surgery in a hospital in Guangzhou usually takes only 5 to 10 minutes. Preoperative preparation mainly includes eye examination and special dietary requirements. The intraoperative procedure is simple and safe. Postoperative care requires patients to follow the doctor's advice, keep their eyes clean and avoid irritation. Therefore, the femtosecond surgery in a hospital in Guangzhou is a fast, safe and effective ophthalmic surgery.
