Precautions before operation:
Myopia surgery is a common ophthalmic surgery, which can correct myopia by changing the cornea with laser technology. Before choosing surgery, patients need to pay attention to the following aspects:
First of all, the patient needs to ensure that the degree of myopia is stable and no significant changes occur. Since the corneal morphology will change after surgery, if the degree of myopia is still fluctuating, the surgical results may be unstable, or even require another operation.
Secondly, patients need to have a comprehensive ophthalmic examination, including corneal thickness, corneal topography, intraocular pressure and other indicators. These indexes are important basis for judging whether the operation is suitable or not.
Finally, the patient should fully communicate with the ophthalmologist to understand the risks and possible complications of the operation. Although myopic surgery is a common surgery, there are still some risks, such as infection, dry eyes, photosensitivity, etc. Patients need to have a certain understanding of the surgical process and results, and make decisions under the guidance of doctors.
Precautions after operation:
Myopia surgery is a small surgery, which requires certain care and precautions for patients after surgery:
First of all, patients need to avoid intense eye activities and trauma, such as eye rubbing, intense exercise, etc., so as to avoid damage to the wound and affect the surgical effect.
Secondly, patients need to use eye drops regularly and wash their eyes according to doctor's instructions. The eyes after surgery may appear dry, foreign body feeling and other uncomfortable symptoms, which can be effectively alleviated through the use and cleaning of eye drops.
In addition, patients need to avoid using their eyes for a long time, especially working or playing in front of electronic products, to avoid eye fatigue. Regular rest is required, and eye massage, eye exercises and other eye health care measures should be taken.
Precautions during recovery:
The recovery period after surgery is the key period to ensure the surgical effect. Patients need to pay attention to the following aspects:
First, patients need to adhere to the use of antibiotic eyedrops prescribed by doctors to prevent infection. At the same time, avoid using drugs containing hormone in eyedrops to avoid affecting the surgical effect.
Secondly, patients need to pay attention to food conditioning, avoid spicy and irritant food and alcoholic drinks, so as not to affect the recovery process of the eye.
Finally, patients need to visit again regularly to receive further examination and guidance from doctors. The ophthalmologist will adjust the medication and eye protection measures according to the recovery of the patient to ensure the surgical effect.
Operation effect and complications:
The effect and complication of myopia surgery is one of the most concerned problems for patients.
In terms of surgical effect, myopic surgery can effectively improve the degree of myopia, so that patients can get rid of glasses or contact lenses. The operation effect is generally stable one week to one month after the operation, which can be maintained for several years to more than ten years.
In terms of complications, dry eyes, infection, corneal scars and other problems may occur after surgery. The most common one is dry eye. Most patients will have dry, foreign body feeling and other symptoms after surgery, but generally they will gradually reduce over time. A few patients may have severe dry eye symptoms and need active treatment. Other complications such as infection and corneal scar are rare, but they still need attention.
Summary:
In general, the myopic surgery performed by Wuhan Army General Hospital is a safe and effective method to treat myopia. Before the operation, the patient needs to conduct a comprehensive examination and fully communicate with the doctor to ensure that the applicability and risk of the operation are controllable. Appropriate care and precautions should be taken after the operation, including avoiding strenuous activities and using eye drops regularly. During the recovery period, attention should be paid to diet conditioning and regular follow-up visits. The surgical effect is generally good, but complications such as dry eyes also need attention. In a word, patients should fully understand the relevant conditions of the operation before going to the doctor, and strictly follow the doctor's instructions after the operation to ensure the effect and safety of the operation.
