Dalian Huazheng Eye Hospital: Want to know the recovery time after myopia surgery?
Dalian Huazheng Eye Care Hospital is a hospital specializing in ophthalmic medical services, providing high-quality ophthalmic surgery and nursing services for patients. For myopic patients, it is critical that they want to know the recovery time after surgery. This article will elaborate on the recovery time after myopia surgery from four aspects: the type of myopia surgery, the recovery process after surgery, precautions and the expected effect.
1. Types of myopic surgery
Myopia surgery mainly includes laser corneal correction (LASIK), surface laser correction (PRK) and laser epithelial adjuvant correction (LASEK). Among them, LASIK is the most common type of myopic surgery, and also one of the shortest recovery time. Generally, the recovery time of patients after LASIK is 1-2 days.
For PRK and LASEK, the recovery time is relatively long due to the need to scrape or dissolve the corneal epithelium. Generally, the recovery time of PRK surgery is 1-2 weeks, while that of LASEK surgery is 2-4 weeks.
2. Postoperative recovery process
No matter what type of myopia surgery, patients need to follow the guidance and precautions of doctors during the recovery process after surgery. Generally, patients need to have a full rest on the day after surgery and start using antibiotic eyedrops to prevent infection. At the same time, patients need to wear professional customized goggles to avoid external stimulation.
In the first week after the operation, the patient needs regular reexamination, and the doctor will check the corneal healing. At this time, the patient may feel uncomfortable symptoms such as blurred vision and dry eyes, which is a normal reaction. These symptoms will be gradually relieved by the use of eyedrops and eyedrops.
Within 2-4 weeks after surgery, the corneal epithelium completely recovered, and the patient's vision would gradually stabilize and improve. During this period, patients need to avoid strenuous exercise and eye friction, so as not to affect the corneal healing effect.
3. Precautions
During recovery, patients need to pay attention to the following points:
First, avoid rubbing eyes with hands to avoid affecting corneal healing, leading to infection or corneal scratch.
Secondly, avoid strenuous exercise and heavy work to avoid damage to cornea caused by changes in air pressure caused by strenuous activities.
In addition, patients need to use eye drops and eyedrops prescribed by doctors on time to keep their eyes moist and prevent infection.
4. Expected effect
The purpose of myopia surgery is to eliminate or reduce the degree of myopia in patients and improve their vision. According to the situation of different patients, the surgical effect is different. Generally, vision will gradually stabilize within 3 months after surgery, and most patients can achieve ideal vision.
It should be noted that myopia surgery can not guarantee the complete elimination of glasses or contact lenses, but can significantly improve the visual quality of patients and improve their quality of life.
