Precautions for postoperative nursing of myopia surgery in Wuhan Purui Eye Hospital
Myopia surgery is a common method to correct myopia. Correct postoperative nursing is crucial to the stability and recovery of the surgical effect. The following will introduce in detail the nursing precautions after myopia surgery in Wuhan Purui Eye Hospital from four aspects: postoperative eye cleaning, eye drops, avoiding eye irritation, and life precautions.
1. Post operative eye cleaning
Postoperative eye cleaning is an important part of postoperative nursing. After surgery, the hospital will clean the eyes of patients, including using disinfectant to clean the eyes and surrounding areas, and teach patients to clean the eyes after surgery as instructed by doctors. When nursing at home, patients should keep their hands clean and clean them with warm boiled water before eye care. Use clean and soft gauze or cotton ball dipped in physiological saline to gently wipe the eyes, and avoid wiping or rubbing the eyes with force to avoid eye irritation.
Avoid cleaning eyes with soap, facial cleanser and other cosmetics after surgery to avoid causing allergy or infection. In addition, the gauze or cotton ball should be replaced during the nursing process to keep clean and avoid secondary infection. In case of eye redness, swelling, increased secretion and other abnormalities, seek medical advice in time.
2. Use eye drops
Postoperative use of eyedrops is an important way to protect the eyes from moisture. After the operation, the hospital will prescribe corresponding eyedrops for the patients and inform them of the medication method in detail. Patients should use eyedrops according to the doctor's instructions to keep their eyes moist. Generally, once every hour on the first day after surgery, once every 3-4 hours on the second day, and then gradually reduce the frequency according to the doctor's recommendations. Keep your hands clean when dropping eyedrops to avoid eye or skin contact with the bottle mouth of eyedrops, so as not to pollute the eyedrops and cause infection.
After using eye drops, patients should close their eyes for a moment to make the drops evenly distributed on the eye surface. Avoid blinking excessively after dropping eyedrops to avoid the loss of eyedrops. In case of irritation, allergy, etc. after dropping eyedrops into the eyes, the drug should be stopped in time and a doctor should be consulted.
3. Avoid eye irritation
For a period of time after surgery, the eyes are sensitive to external stimuli, and some behaviors that may cause irritation to the eyes need to be avoided. First, avoid rubbing eyes, because rubbing eyes may cause infection and affect the surgical effect. Secondly, it is necessary to avoid direct glare on the eyes and long outdoor activities to avoid eye fatigue and dryness. In addition, it is necessary to avoid using electronic products for a long time after surgery, such as mobile phones, computers, etc., because the light screen is more irritating to the eyes. If it is unavoidable to face the electronic screen for a long time, you should take a proper rest, take a 10-15 minute break every hour, and keep away from the screen for visual adjustment.
In daily life such as face washing and bathing, water should be avoided from directly contacting eyes and eyes should be wiped after surgery to avoid infection or irritation. When wiping eyes with a towel, use soft materials such as gauze, wipe gently, and avoid using powder or irritating facial cleanser or soap.
4. Life precautions
During postoperative recovery, patients need to pay special attention to some details of daily life. First, avoid staying up late, ensure adequate sleep time, and promote the recovery of the body and the rest of the eyes. Secondly, pay attention to diet and avoid eating spicy and irritant food, so as not to cause redness and dryness. In addition, strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided after surgery to avoid postoperative discomfort caused by excessive traction of the surgical site.
To sum up, the postoperative care of myopia surgery provided by Wuhan Purui Eye Hospital requires patients to pay attention to eye cleaning, correct use of eye drops, avoidance of eye irritation and attention to life details. Compliance with these precautions can promote the stability of the surgical effect, reduce the occurrence of complications, and ensure the smooth progress of postoperative recovery.
