How long is the recovery time for myopia?
Myopia is one of the common eye health problems, which is caused by the long eye axis or high diopter. With the progress of science and technology, more and more treatment methods have been proposed. As a professional eye hospital, Wuhan Tongji Hospital has accumulated rich experience in the treatment of myopia. This article will elaborate from many aspects, such as surgery, medication, eye exercises and correction of glasses, to help readers understand the recovery time of myopia treatment.
surgical treatment
Surgical treatment is a common treatment method for myopia. It can correct the diopter through laser technology or intraocular lens implantation to improve vision. In Wuhan Tongji Hospital, myopia surgery mainly includes laser corneal correction (LASIK) and lens implantation. LASIK surgery has a short recovery time, usually recovering part of vision 1-2 days after surgery, and it usually takes 1-2 weeks to fully recover vision; However, lens implantation is relatively complicated, with a long recovery time, usually taking one month or more.
The recovery time of surgical treatment is quite different from that of individuals. Generally speaking, the first week after surgery is the most significant stage of recovery. During the recovery period, patients should follow the doctor's instructions, maintain eye hygiene, avoid strenuous exercise and wear glasses, and receive regular reexamination and professional treatment.
medication
In addition to surgery, drug therapy is also an effective treatment for myopia. In Wuhan Tongji Hospital, the commonly used drug treatments include traditional Chinese medicine fumigation, eyedrops and Chinese patent medicines. These drugs can alleviate the symptoms of myopia by improving the blood circulation of the eye, regulating the pressure in the eye and improving the nutrition of the eye tissue.
The recovery time of drug treatment varies from individual to individual. Generally speaking, the initial recovery time is long, and it may take several months to feel the effect. In order to achieve the best treatment effect, patients need to adhere to the guidance of doctors to use drugs, return regularly and make necessary adjustments.
Eye exercises
Eye exercises are a way to improve eye muscle fatigue and regulate eye blood circulation through eye movement. The eye exercises recommended by Wuhan Tongji Hospital include eye movement, up and down left and right movements, distance adjustment, etc. These eye exercises can promote the activity of eye muscles and the relaxation of eyes, thus alleviating eye fatigue and myopia symptoms.
The recovery time of eye exercises is relatively short. Generally speaking, you can insist on doing 5-10 minutes of eye exercises every day. After a period of time, you can obviously feel the comfort of your eyes and the improvement of your eyesight. However, eye exercises can not completely cure myopia, and can only play an auxiliary role. It needs to be combined with other treatment methods for comprehensive treatment.
Optically correct
The correction with glasses is a common non operative treatment, which is suitable for patients who are not suitable for surgery or who are unwilling to accept surgery. In Wuhan Tongji Hospital, the correction of glasses is mainly achieved through myopia lenses or contact lenses. Correction with glasses can quickly and effectively improve the vision of myopia, and the recovery time is short.
The recovery time of glasses correction is usually immediately felt after wearing lenses or contact lenses. However, patients need to be rechecked regularly to ensure the accuracy of glasses and the timely replacement of the degree, so as to achieve the best correction effect.
To sum up, the recovery time of myopia is different due to different treatment methods. The recovery time of surgical treatment is relatively short, and the effect can be obviously felt within weeks to months; The recovery time of drug treatment and eye exercises is longer, and it takes several months or longer to achieve the best effect; The recovery time of glasses correction is short, and the effect can be felt immediately. However, the recovery time of different populations will also be different. Patients should choose appropriate treatment methods according to their own conditions and treat under the guidance of doctors.
