Precautions after femtosecond surgery
Femtosecond surgery is a modern vision correction surgery. As a professional ophthalmic hospital, Guangxi Ruikang Hospital will also give patients some precautions after femtosecond surgery to ensure the smooth progress of postoperative rehabilitation. This article will elaborate on the precautions after femtosecond surgery from four aspects: postoperative daily life, diet adjustment, sun protection and eye care, and regular review.
Daily life after operation
Rest should be given priority to the first day after the operation. Blowing nose, severe cough or sneezing should be avoided to prevent excessive stress on the incision. In the first few days after the operation, the patient's vision will be blurred, and attention should be paid to avoid long-term close eye use to avoid aggravating eye fatigue. In addition, patients should avoid rubbing or wiping their eyes with their hands to avoid infection or irritation of the eyes after surgery.
In terms of daily care, patients need to keep their eyes clean, wipe the skin around their eyes with warm boiled water every day, remove eyedroppings and crusts, and pay attention to prevent water from touching the eyes. In addition, avoid oppressing the eyes when sleeping. You can choose a pillow of appropriate height to ensure the comfort of the eyes.
When going out, patients need to pay attention to avoid exposure and protection. They can wear sunglasses or hats that cover the eyes to reduce the irritation of ultraviolet rays to the eyes.
Diet adjustment
After femtosecond surgery, diet also needs to be adjusted. First of all, it is not advisable to overeat on the first day after surgery. You can choose some liquid food, such as rice porridge, noodles, etc., to avoid eating too stimulating or greasy food. Within one week after the operation, the patient needs to avoid eating spicy, fried and other stimulating foods, so as not to increase the body's burden on the operation.
In addition, patients also need to pay attention to supplement some nutrients beneficial to the eyes. For example, take more fruits rich in vitamin C and E, such as oranges, lemons, strawberries, etc. These foods help to repair and protect eye tissues. In addition, foods containing omega-3 fatty acids, such as fish and flaxseed, are also good for eye health.
Sun protection and eye protection
The sensitivity of the eyes to the sun will increase after surgery, so patients need to pay attention to the work of sun protection. In outdoor activities, patients need to wear sunglasses and choose lenses with anti ultraviolet function to reduce the damage of ultraviolet rays. In addition, patients can also choose hats with brims to increase the area of the eyes to be covered and further protect the eyes.
In addition, it is also important to avoid direct contact with strong light indoors, and avoid staring at computers, mobile phones and other screens for a long time. When working or studying, you can properly use anti blue glasses to reduce the damage to your eyes.
Regular review
After femtosecond surgery, patients need to be reviewed regularly to ensure postoperative effect and eye health. The doctor will make a review plan according to the postoperative conditions, which generally includes the first day, the first week, the first month, the third month and other time points after the operation. During the re examination, the doctor will check the recovery of the eye, including intraocular pressure, vision and other indicators, as well as possible complications.
In case of eye discomfort, vision loss, etc. in daily life after surgery, the patient should contact the doctor in time and go to the hospital for re examination as suggested by the doctor.
Summary
Femtosecond surgery is a safe and effective vision correction surgery, but patients need to pay special attention to some matters after surgery. In daily life, patients should keep their eyes clean and avoid wiping them with force. In terms of diet, patients should avoid eating stimulating food and take more nutrients beneficial to the eyes.
