Precautions for postoperative nursing of half femtosecond operation in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital
Nanjing Gulou Hospital is an ophthalmic hospital with advanced equipment and rich experience, in which half femtosecond surgery is a common method to treat myopia. Postoperative nursing is an important link for the success of the operation. The following will elaborate on the postoperative nursing precautions of half femtosecond surgery in Drum Tower Hospital from four aspects.
Eye rest and protection
In the first few days after surgery, the eyes will feel tired and uncomfortable. At this time, you should keep sufficient eye rest and avoid using your eyes for a long time, especially watching TV, using computers and mobile phones. At the same time, attention should be paid to protecting the eyes to avoid abnormal contact and external irritation. Patients can wear protective glasses or sunshades to protect their eyes from external irritation.
In terms of diet, we should avoid eating spicy food, greasy food and caffeine drinks after surgery. Increase the intake of foods rich in vitamin C and vitamin E, such as citrus fruits, vegetables and nuts, which will help to restore and maintain the eyes.
After surgery, patients also need to avoid external impact on the eyes, such as not rubbing the eyes, not wiping the eyes with hands, and avoiding direct impact of water on the eyes when washing the face. At the same time, patients should pay special attention when washing face, hair or bath to avoid water and washing products entering the eyes.
Use of eye drops and ointment
After surgery, the doctor will prescribe eyedrops or ointment according to the patient's specific conditions. Patients need to use these drugs correctly according to the doctor's instructions. Generally speaking, postoperative patients need to drop eye drops or apply eye ointment on time to maintain eye hygiene. Before using drugs, patients need to wash their hands with soap and flowing water to ensure their hands are clean. When using eyedrops, the patient should lie on his back or sit down, gently pull down the lower eyelid, drip appropriate eyedrops, and then close his eyes for a rest. When applying eye ointment, the patient should use a sterile cotton swab to take an appropriate amount of eye ointment and gently apply it on the inner side of the lower eyelid.
Note that the patient may experience temporary tingling or blurred vision after using eyedrops or ointment. This is a normal reaction. Don't worry too much. If there is obvious discomfort after using eye medicine, such as persistent severe pain, vision loss and other symptoms, consult a doctor in time.
Pay attention to eye hygiene and cleanliness
Postoperative eyes need special hygiene and cleaning. The patient can clean the eyes with warm boiled water or normal saline, but do not rub or rub the eyes with force. When cleaning eyes, you can pour warm water into the clean basin, bend down, gently immerse your eyes in water, and close your eyes for a rest. After that, gently wipe the eyelid and surrounding area with clean gauze or cotton piece, but do not touch the cornea.
When cleaning the eyes of patients, make sure that the gauze or cotton piece used is clean, and do not reuse it. In addition, do not use cosmetics or facial skincare products containing alcohol or irritant ingredients to avoid eye irritation and discomfort.
Regular follow-up and doctor consultation
After surgery, the patient needs to return to the doctor in time according to the doctor's requirements, so that the doctor can check and evaluate the recovery of the eye. The doctor will adjust the treatment plan according to the specific situation of the patient and provide necessary suggestions and guidance. Before the return visit, the patient needs to pay attention to the daily care and protection of the eye, and consult the doctor in time for any discomfort or questions.
To sum up, the postoperative care of half femtosecond surgery in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital needs to pay attention to eye rest and protection, the use of eye drops and ointment, eye hygiene and cleaning, as well as regular follow-up visits and doctor consultation. Only patients correctly observe these precautions can ensure the success of the operation and promote the rapid recovery of the eye.
