What should we pay attention to after corneal transplantation?
Corneal transplantation is an effective method to treat corneal diseases. Postoperative care and precautions play a vital role in the success and recovery of the operation. Let's take a look at what patients need to pay attention to after corneal transplantation in He's Eye Hospital in Dalian.
Keep eyes clean
After surgery, patients need to keep their eyes clean to prevent infection and other complications. Use the antibiotic eyedrops recommended by Dalian He's Eye Hospital to avoid bacterial infection, and drop the medicine regularly as instructed by the doctor. At the same time, the patient needs to clean and replace the eye mask or patch regularly to keep the surgical site dry and hygienic.
In addition, patients should be very careful when washing their faces and bathing to avoid splashing water into their eyes, because bacteria and viruses may exist in the water, causing infection. In addition, do not misuse cosmetics and skin care products to avoid irritation of eye tissues and corneas.
Use eyedrops and medicines on time
After surgery, patients need to use eyedrops and other drugs according to the doctor's guidance. Eye drops are usually used for antibiotics, anti-inflammatory, anti-inflammatory and moisturizing to help heal eye wounds and alleviate discomfort. At the same time, some drugs may need to be taken orally or injected by patients, such as anti-inflammatory drugs, immunosuppressants, etc. These drugs can help reduce postoperative inflammation and inhibit rejection.
When using drugs, patients need to pay attention to the preservation and validity of drugs to avoid the use of expired drugs or improper preservation leading to drug failure. In case of allergic reaction or drug intolerance, the patient should inform the doctor in time and adjust the treatment plan.
Pay attention to diet and living habits
Patients need to adjust their diet and living habits after surgery to promote corneal healing and improve the surgical effect. In terms of diet, patients need to take more foods rich in vitamin C, vitamin E and zinc, such as fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, etc., which will help improve the nutrition supply and immunity of the cornea.
In addition, patients need to avoid drinking and smoking, because the chemicals in alcohol and tobacco may have adverse effects on eye tissues, delaying the healing of surgery. At the same time, pay attention to avoid eye injuries, avoid contact with infectious diseases, and maintain health and hygiene.
Regular follow-up visits and consultation with doctors
After surgery, patients need to be regularly re examined and consulted according to the requirements of doctors to monitor the effect of surgery and timely find and deal with postoperative complications. The doctor will adjust the treatment plan according to the specific situation of the patient, and give further guidance and suggestions.
During the follow-up visit, the patient needs to inform the doctor of the recovery and discomfort after the operation, cooperate with the doctor to carry out eye examination and test, and measure the vision and intraocular pressure. If the patient has decreased vision, pain, congestion, foreign body sensation or abnormal increase of secretion, etc., he should seek medical advice in time.
