How long does the recovery process of full femtosecond surgery take?
Nanjing is a city with a long history in eastern China and has many excellent public hospitals. All femtosecond surgery is a modern ophthalmic surgery technology, which is widely used in myopia correction and corneal disease treatment. So, how long does it take for the patient to recover after full femtosecond surgery? The following four aspects will be elaborated in detail: the operation process, postoperative nursing, vision recovery and life precautions.
Operation process
Full femtosecond surgery is a non-contact corneal refractive surgery. It uses a femtosecond laser and does not require a physical blade to contact the eye, so it recovers quickly after surgery. The operation is usually performed under local anesthesia, and the duration is usually within a few minutes, without any pain in the whole process. During surgery, doctors will use femtosecond lasers to cut the cornea and adjust its shape to correct vision problems. This process is very accurate and can achieve accurate vision correction effect.
After the operation, the patient will feel some tingling and foreign body sensation in the eyes, which is a normal reaction. The doctor will give eyedrops to relieve discomfort, and check to ensure the effect of surgery and corneal healing. Patients can usually leave hospital in a short time and go home for rest.
Postoperative care
After full femtosecond surgery, postoperative care is very important. Patients need to strictly follow the doctor's instructions, use the eyedrops and protective glasses prescribed by the doctor, and avoid contact with water and other irritants. At the same time, patients should pay attention to eye hygiene and avoid rubbing eyes or wiping hard. Within one week after the operation, the patient needs to be regularly revisited to ensure corneal healing and vision recovery.
In addition, patients also need to avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting to avoid accidental eye injuries. During the recovery period, the patient should keep good rest and sleep to avoid fatigue and eye strain. These nursing measures can speed up the recovery process and ensure a lasting effect of the operation.
Visual acuity recovery
Full femtosecond surgery can usually achieve significant improvement in vision in a short time after surgery. The patient can feel the obvious improvement of vision within 1-2 days after the operation, but the specific time of vision recovery will vary depending on individual differences. Generally, the patient's vision will gradually stabilize within 1 month after surgery to achieve the best results.
In a few days or weeks after surgery, patients may encounter some common visual problems, such as light sensitivity, dry eyes, eye fatigue, etc. These problems are temporary, and will gradually reduce or disappear with the healing and recovery of the cornea. If patients have serious visual problems after surgery, they should seek medical advice in a timely manner.
Life precautions
During the recovery period after surgery, patients should pay attention to some details of life to ensure the surgical effect and smooth corneal healing. First of all, patients should avoid strenuous activities and prolonged eye use, and maintain good rest and sleep. Secondly, patients need to pay attention to diet and living habits, and avoid spicy food, tobacco and alcohol. In addition, patients should avoid contact with water and long-term exposure to strong light during recovery, so as not to affect the healing and correction effect of the eye.
In general, full femtosecond surgery is a safe and effective ophthalmic surgery technology with a rapid recovery process. After a period of postoperative care, patients can achieve clear vision and resume normal life. From the four aspects of operation process, postoperative care, vision recovery and life precautions, the time required for the recovery process of full femtosecond surgery is controllable and predictable.
