What should we pay attention to after eye surgery?
Ophthalmic surgery is a common method to treat eye diseases, and proper nursing and precautions after surgery are essential for postoperative recovery. Here are some precautions after eye surgery:
Postoperative eye care
Postoperative eye care is the key to postoperative recovery. After the operation, the doctor will give the patient detailed instructions and prescribe appropriate drugs or use care products. Within a few days after surgery, patients should follow the doctor's instructions for eye cleaning and care. This includes washing eyes with disinfectant, cleaning skin around eyes, wearing goggles, etc.
At the same time, patients should also pay attention to avoid rubbing or blinking too hard after the operation, so as not to stimulate the wound. Avoid strenuous exercise and eye use, and try to avoid using electronic products for a long time. In addition, attention should be paid to the timely use of eye drops or ointment after surgery, and the use of non doctor ordered drugs should be avoided.
In case of eye pain, redness, swelling, vision loss and other abnormalities during the recovery after surgery, seek medical advice in time. Regular follow-up is also an important part of postoperative recovery, and doctors will further evaluate and deal with patients according to their conditions.
Precautions for postoperative life
In addition to eye care, life after surgery also needs to be adjusted. First, patients should maintain good rest and eating habits, and avoid staying up late and overeating. In terms of diet, foods that are easy to digest and rich in vitamins, proteins and other nutrients, such as vegetables, fruits, fish, etc.
Secondly, patients should avoid being hit by external force after surgery, and avoid tears, forced coughing, squeezing eyes, etc. In daily life, patients should avoid contacting objects that may pollute the eyes, such as not using dirty towels, cosmetics, etc.
Finally, postoperative patients should pay attention to sunscreen and protection, and wear sunglasses, sun hats, etc. In addition, during the recovery period, avoid entering the environment of high temperature and humidity, and avoid being exposed to the light of computer screen, mobile phone or other electronic products for a long time.
Postoperative psychological adjustment
Ophthalmic surgery is a major physical and psychological challenge for patients. Patients after surgery may have anxiety, tension, fear and other emotions. Therefore, correct psychological adjustment is very important for postoperative recovery.
Patients can communicate with their families and friends, or seek help from professional psychological counseling. Keeping a positive attitude, relaxing, and participating in some relaxed and happy activities are also helpful to adjust the psychological state.
In addition, patients after surgery should trust the professional ability of doctors and teams, and follow the doctor's recommendations and treatment plans. Keeping a good mental state and actively cooperating with the treatment are conducive to the smooth progress of postoperative recovery.
Follow up and rehabilitation evaluation
Follow up is an important part of postoperative recovery. The patient should return to the doctor in time and carry out corresponding examinations according to the doctor's requirements. The doctor will evaluate the postoperative effect and the recovery of the patient through further consultation, and further adjust the treatment plan if necessary.
Patients should actively feedback their feelings and conditions to the doctor, including postoperative eye discomfort, vision changes, etc. At the same time, during the rehabilitation period, patients also need to carry out vision rehabilitation training and eye function exercise according to the doctor's guidance to restore the normal function of the eye.
To sum up, postoperative ophthalmic surgery requires patients to make corresponding arrangements and attention in eye care, life precautions, psychological adjustment, follow-up and rehabilitation effect evaluation. Through correct nursing and treatment, the recovery of postoperative ophthalmic surgery will be more smooth and effective.
