Precautions for eye protection after myopia surgery
With the development of modern science and technology, myopia surgery has become one of the common methods to correct myopia. For patients after surgery, proper postoperative care is very important, which can help them better adapt to the new visual state and avoid complications. The following are some noteworthy items.
Regular follow-up
Regular follow-up after surgery is very important, which can timely monitor the effect of surgery and find potential problems. In the Peking Union Eye Hospital, they usually arrange a return visit on the first day, the first week, the first month and the third month after surgery to ensure stable surgical results and eye health. Patients should report their visual condition and discomfort to the doctor in detail when they return to the hospital, and receive professional eye examination at the same time.
In addition, doctors are also required to give appropriate medical treatment and eye protection advice when returning to the hospital after surgery, such as using antibiotic eyedrops, wearing goggles, etc., to promote corneal healing and alleviate eye discomfort.
Avoid eye collision and external force stimulation
The eyes after surgery are fragile and vulnerable to the impact of the external environment, so it is necessary to avoid eye collision and external force stimulation. Patients should avoid participating in strenuous exercise, physical contact exercise, carrying heavy objects and staying in dusty environment for a long time. In addition, pay attention to avoid the eyes from being invaded by sparks, dust, corrosive liquids and other irritants. You can protect your eyes by wearing goggles or shields.
In case of eye collision or external force stimulation by accident, the patient should seek medical advice immediately and inform the doctor that he/she has performed myopia surgery so that the doctor can judge and deal with it in a timely manner.
Pay attention to the eye environment and eye habits
Postoperative patients should try to change the bad eye environment and habits in the past to reduce the burden on the eyes. For example, avoid staring at the computer and mobile phone screen for a long time, and take appropriate rest and eye exercises at regular intervals; Keep a good eye posture and avoid looking down or looking in the same direction for a long time; Avoid prolonged exposure to strong wind, strong light and other irritant environments, and properly adjust the brightness and color temperature of indoor light.
In addition, postoperative patients should avoid using excessive eyedrops or eye discomfort treatment methods, follow the doctor's advice, and correctly use the eyedrops and nursing methods prescribed by the doctor.
Keep optimistic attitude and reasonable expectations
Finally, postoperative patients should maintain an optimistic attitude and reasonable expectations. Myopic surgery can help patients get rid of the shackles of glasses or contact lenses, but it can not completely eliminate eye problems. The process of vision recovery after surgery is long, and individual differences are also large. Therefore, patients should have enough patience, and follow the doctor's recommendations for further consultation and nursing.
In short, after myopia surgery, patients need to return regularly to avoid eye collision and external stimulation, pay attention to the eye environment and habits, and maintain an optimistic attitude and reasonable expectations. Only by properly caring and protecting the eyes can we better adapt to the new visual state and enjoy a clearer world.
