Guangzhou Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department: Does femtosecond surgery hurt? How long does it take to recover after surgery?
In recent years, femtosecond laser surgery as an advanced ophthalmic surgery technology has been widely used in the field of ophthalmic medicine. So, does the femtosecond surgery used by Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department in Guangzhou really hurt? How long does it take to recover after the operation? These two issues are described in detail from several aspects below.
1. Pain feeling of femtosecond surgery
Femtosecond surgery is a non-invasive eye surgery, and patients will not feel obvious pain during the surgery. Before the operation, the doctor will give the patient anesthetic eye drops to ensure the painless process of the operation. Femtosecond laser surgery has a relatively low degree of pain, usually only slight tingling or discomfort, but does not cause severe pain to patients.
In addition, the operation time of femtosecond laser surgery is very short, which usually takes only a few minutes to complete. During the operation, the doctor will use professional equipment to protect other parts of the eye to avoid possible discomfort caused by ordinary laser surgery. Therefore, it can be said that femtosecond surgery is relatively mild in terms of pain perception, and most patients can tolerate it.
2. Recovery time after operation
For femtosecond surgery, the recovery time of patients is relatively fast. Generally speaking, patients will have a rest in the hospital for a period of time after surgery and receive observation and evaluation from doctors. Most patients can recover quickly later in the day or the next day, and can carry out normal daily activities.
Although the speed of recovery varies with individual differences, patients can usually recover their vision within a few days, and the vision of the previous few days will continue to improve. During the postoperative recovery period, the doctor will provide the patient with necessary nursing guidance, such as using eye drops, avoiding strenuous exercise and eye friction, to ensure the smooth progress of eye recovery.
3. Advantages of femtosecond surgery
Femtosecond surgery has many advantages over traditional surgical methods. First of all, it is a non-invasive surgical technique that does not require cutting or suturing, greatly reducing the risk of surgery and complications. Secondly, femtosecond laser surgery is highly accurate, which can accurately carve cornea and improve visual quality. Moreover, the operation process is highly controllable, and doctors can make personalized adjustments according to the specific conditions of patients.
In addition, femtosecond surgery has a faster recovery speed, and patients can quickly resume daily life and work without wearing eye masks after surgery. Compared with traditional surgery, femtosecond surgery can reduce postoperative nausea, dry eyes and other discomfort. In conclusion, femtosecond surgery has obvious advantages in pain perception and recovery time.
4. Summary
