Post operative discomfort
All femtosecond laser surgery is a common surgical method for myopia, which can help patients recover their vision and improve their quality of life. However, there may be some discomfort after surgery, which will be described in detail in the following aspects: dryness, eye fatigue, vision fluctuation and light sensitivity after surgery.
First, a common discomfort after surgery is dry eyes. During the operation, the laser will have a high-energy effect on the cornea, which may lead to the removal of a layer of cells on the corneal surface after the operation, so the patient will feel dry and uncomfortable after the operation. Usually the doctor will recommend the patient to use eye drops to alleviate this discomfort, and use antibiotic eye drops to prevent infection according to the doctor's recommendations.
Secondly, eye fatigue after surgery is another common discomfort. During postoperative recovery, eyes need to adapt to new vision, which may lead to eye fatigue. Patients may feel sore eyes, fatigue, and want to close or rub their eyes. In order to alleviate eye fatigue, patients need to avoid long-term use of electronic devices, reading, watching TV and other activities that lead to eye fatigue, and pay attention to eye health.
In addition, postoperative vision fluctuation is also a common discomfort. Postoperative vision recovery requires a certain period of time, so patients may feel fluctuations in vision during the recovery period, including blurring, clarity changes and other symptoms. This is a normal phenomenon. Patients only need to conduct standard reexamination and treatment under the guidance of doctors to ensure the stability of postoperative vision.
Finally, patients may be sensitive to light after surgery. The corneal surface after surgery may be more sensitive to light, so the patient may feel glare or discomfort after surgery. It is recommended that patients wear sunglasses after surgery to reduce glare and avoid prolonged exposure to the sun.
Can I eat spicy food?
Whether spicy food can be eaten after surgery depends on the individual's recovery and the doctor's advice. Generally speaking, patients after surgery can eat spicy food moderately, but the following points should be noted.
First of all, patients should avoid over stimulating and overheating food after surgery, because they may cause irritation and discomfort to the eyes after surgery. Spicy food may cause eye congestion or other uncomfortable symptoms, so it is best to choose mild spiciness and gradually increase the spiciness.
Secondly, patients should avoid eating excessive chili and irritant condiments after surgery, because they may cause discomfort to the digestive system. Patients after surgery usually need to follow the doctor's diet recommendations, maintain a balanced and healthy diet, and avoid eating too much pepper and irritating condiments.
Finally, patients should determine whether it is appropriate to eat spicy food according to their own conditions and physical reactions. Some patients may be allergic to spicy food or have indigestion and other problems. At this time, it is best to avoid eating chili or consult a doctor for advice.
