Recovery time of femtosecond surgery in Nanjing Dongda Hospital

Femtosecond surgery is a modern and advanced myopia correction technology, which has been widely used in Nanjing Dongda Hospital. Many patients are worried when they ask about the recovery time after surgery. The recovery time of femtosecond surgery will be described in detail from different aspects.

Time required for complete corneal epithelial healing

In femtosecond surgery, corneal epithelium will be peeled off before corneal ablation. This process takes some time for the corneal epithelium to fully heal. Generally speaking, the healing of corneal epithelium takes about 1 to 2 days. During the recovery period after surgery, the doctor will provide the patient with antibiotic eyedrops to prevent infection, and check the corneal epithelium to ensure its complete healing.

During the healing process, the patient may feel some discomfort, such as slight pain, itching and burning. But these discomfort usually disappear within a few days without much worry. In addition, before the corneal epithelium is fully healed, the patient needs to avoid rubbing eyes, entering water or contacting pollutants to avoid infection and corneal damage.

Time of vision recovery

Femtosecond surgery is usually able to quickly restore the patient's vision within a short time after surgery. Most patients can obviously feel the improvement of vision on the second day after surgery. However, this does not mean that vision is completely restored, it is only a good start.

Usually, the patient's vision will gradually recover to a good level within one week after the operation. During this period, the patient may feel the visual acuity is unstable, sometimes slightly blurred, and even light allergy. These symptoms are also normal recovery process, and patients need not worry too much.

For the real time of vision recovery, each patient's situation is different. Some people can achieve ideal vision within a few days after surgery, while others may take longer. Doctors usually conduct regular examinations after surgery to ensure that the recovery process is normal and give appropriate guidance.

Precautions for daily life

During the recovery period after femtosecond surgery, patients need to pay attention to some daily life matters to promote healing and recovery. First of all, patients should avoid contact with the friction and collision of the eyes to prevent wound infection and complications in the recovery process.

Secondly, patients need to avoid water or swimming to avoid eye infection. When washing face or bathing, the patient can use a clean towel to gently wipe the face. Do not splash water into the eyes. In addition, patients should avoid strenuous physical activity, strenuous exercise and heavy equipment exercise during recovery to avoid additional pressure on the eyes.
