Does Wuhan Purui Eye Hospital need to be hospitalized for ICL surgery?
ICL surgery, or lens implantation, is an ophthalmic surgery that corrects refractive errors by implanting an intraocular lens. With the continuous progress of surgical technology, ICL surgery has been more and more applied in the field of ophthalmology. In Wuhan Purui Eye Hospital, does ICL surgery require hospitalization? Next, we will elaborate on this issue from four aspects.
Introduction to operation process
ICL surgery is to correct ametropia by implanting a foldable intraocular lens into the patient's eye. A comprehensive ophthalmic examination is required before surgery to determine whether it is suitable for surgery. On the day of operation, the doctor will first give the patient local anesthesia, and then implant the intraocular lens into the posterior chamber of the eye by cutting the cornea. The operation time is generally about 30 minutes. After the operation, the patient needs to rest for a while, and the doctor will give detailed postoperative guidance and notes.
Whether hospitalization is required for ICL surgery
In Wuhan Purui Eye Hospital, most ICL patients do not need to be hospitalized. As ICL surgery is a minimally invasive surgery, it does less harm to patients, recovers quickly, and can generally be discharged in a short time. After surgery, patients usually have a rest in the hospital for a period of time. The doctor will observe and recheck the recovery after surgery to ensure that there is no problem with the patient's eyes. At the same time, the doctor will give the patient detailed postoperative guidance, requiring the patient to pay attention to rest and diet, and avoid using too much eye force.
However, although most patients do not need to be hospitalized, for patients with special circumstances, doctors may require them to be hospitalized for observation. For example, if the patient has other eye diseases or poor physical condition, doctors may need to observe and care for them for a longer time to ensure the recovery effect after surgery and the overall health of the patient.
Postoperative precautions
No matter whether hospitalization is required or not, patients should strictly follow the doctor's postoperative precautions after ICL surgery. First of all, patients need to rest more, eat a light diet, and avoid strenuous exercise and blowing their noses. Secondly, patients need to avoid contact with irritants, such as swimming pool water, cosmetics, etc. In addition, the doctor will prescribe some eyedrops for the patients, who need to use them according to the doctor's instructions to keep the eyes clean and moist.
Patients also need regular follow-up visits so that doctors can evaluate and adjust their postoperative recovery. Generally, the doctor will arrange the patient to have a recheck on the first day, one week and one month after the operation. During this period, patients need to pay attention to eye hygiene and avoid rubbing eyes and using eye force. In case of discomfort, the patient needs to seek medical advice in time.
Summary
In Wuhan Purui Eye Hospital, ICL surgery generally does not require hospitalization. The operation is a minimally invasive operation with rapid recovery, and most patients can be discharged in a short time. However, patients in special circumstances may need to be hospitalized for observation to ensure their recovery effect and overall health. After surgery, patients need to follow the doctor's postoperative precautions, and return to see the doctor regularly according to the doctor's requirements. Only after good postoperative care and rest, patients can better recover and obtain good surgical results.
