How long does myopic surgery in Chengdu Aierkangqiao Eye Hospital need to recover?

Chengdu Aierkangqiao Eye Hospital is a hospital specializing in the treatment of eye diseases. It has advanced equipment and a senior medical team to provide high-quality medical services for patients. For myopia patients, laser surgery is a common correction method. Then, we will elaborate on the recovery of myopia surgery from four aspects: operation mode, postoperative recovery, precautions and effects.

Operation mode

Chengdu Aierkangqiao Eye Hospital provides two main types of myopia surgery: LASIK and PRK. LASIK (laser in situ keratomileusis) is the most common and advanced surgical method at present. In this operation, doctors use lasers to accurately cut and correct the shape of the cornea to change the eye's ability to focus light. PRK (photoreflective keratomileusis) is similar to LASIK, but the operation process is slightly different. PRK is more suitable for patients with thin cornea and abnormal corneal morphology. The recovery time is similar no matter which surgical method is used.

The operation time is usually very short, about 5-10 minutes for each eye, and the patient can be discharged on the same day. Anesthetic eyedrops will be used during the operation, so the patient will not feel pain.

Postoperative recovery

The recovery time after surgery varies from individual to individual, and it usually takes a period of time to fully recover. On the first day after surgery, patients may feel tingling, blurred vision and eye discomfort. This is a normal symptom. Don't worry too much. Generally, the recovery period is about one month.

In the first week after surgery, the patient needs to temporarily stop strenuous physical activity and contact some specific environment, such as swimming pool and desert. Patients need to use anti-inflammatory eyedrops and wear goggles to protect their eyes according to the doctor's recommendations every day.

In the second week after the operation, the patient can generally feel a significant improvement in vision, but the vision may not be completely stable. At this time, the patient needs to avoid eye impact and carry out daily care according to the doctor's recommendations.

matters needing attention

During the recovery after surgery, patients need to pay attention to the following aspects:

1. Avoid strenuous physical activity and contact with polluted environment to avoid infection.
2. Use eye drops of anti-inflammatory drugs and drip them at the frequency prescribed by the doctor.
3. Avoid rubbing or touching the eyes to avoid scratching the cornea.
4. Pay attention to eye hygiene and keep eyes clean.

effect

The effect of myopia surgery varies from individual to individual, but in most cases, surgery can significantly improve the vision of patients, making them no longer rely on glasses or contact lenses. After surgery, the patient's vision may continue to improve for a period of time until the best condition is achieved. Although surgery can significantly improve vision, myopia surgery cannot completely cure myopia, and patients may still have a certain degree of hyperopia or presbyopia.

In a word, Chengdu Aierkangqiao Eye Hospital has provided safe and effective laser surgery for myopia patients, with short operation time and fast recovery period. Patients should follow the doctor's advice and pay attention to postoperative care to obtain the best surgical effect. If you have myopia, you can go to the hospital for consultation and surgery.

Finally, the recovery of myopic surgery depends on individual conditions. Patients need to wait patiently and actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment and guidance to ensure the success of the surgery and the improvement of vision.
