Ni Yao Guangzhou Ophthalmology: Does corneal reshaping hurt?

Corneoplasty is an operation to correct myopia by changing the shape of the cornea. Many people have doubts about whether this operation is painful. Today we will discuss this problem in detail.

Preoperative anesthesia

Before performing keratoplasty, the doctor will give anesthesia to the patient. There is a well-known ophthalmic hospital in Guangzhou, Ni Yao Guangzhou Ophthalmology Department. They use local anesthesia. During the operation, the doctor will use anesthetic eye drops to anaesthetize the eyes, so that the patient will not feel pain. During the operation, the patient will only feel some slight discomfort, but no pain.

During the operation, doctors will use an instrument called a keratoscope to operate. This instrument can effectively protect the cornea, reduce the stimulation of surgery on the cornea, and thus reduce the pain feeling.

Recovery process after operation

Corneoplasty is a minimally invasive surgery, usually without too much pain after surgery. After the operation, the doctor will give the patient corresponding waking time, and check the patient's intraocular pressure and corneal shaping effect.

During the recovery after surgery, you may feel some slight discomfort and eye fatigue. But these feelings of discomfort are usually temporary and will gradually decrease over time. The doctor will prescribe some eye drops or ointment to relieve the discomfort.

Within a few hours after the operation, the patient needs to rest enough to avoid strenuous activities and excessive eye use. At the same time, patients also need to use eye drops regularly according to the doctor's recommendations and observe other precautions to promote the recovery of the eye.

Individual differences and precautions

Different individuals may have different pain feelings for keratoplasty. Some people may feel some pain or discomfort, while others may feel almost no pain. This is because everyone's sensory nervous system and pain threshold are different.

In addition, keratoplasty is not applicable to all myopia patients, and doctors will evaluate whether it is suitable for this operation according to the patients' eye conditions and personal needs. Therefore, before considering keratoplasty, patients should discuss the risks and effects in detail with their doctors.

Finally, no matter whether the keratoplasty is painful or not, patients need to strictly follow the doctor's instructions for eye care and recovery after the surgery. This includes using eyedrops on time, avoiding strenuous activities and protecting eyes from external stimuli. Only correct eye care can make the operation achieve the best effect.

summary

The pain degree of keratoplasty is usually mild, and there are corresponding anesthesia and nursing measures before and after the operation. There may be some discomfort after the operation, but these discomfort are temporary and will gradually reduce over time. Different individuals may have different feelings of pain, but by following the doctor's advice and precautions, patients can recover well from keratoplasty and finally obtain ideal correction results.
