Before femtosecond surgery, the doctor will conduct a series of examinations on the patient to ensure that the patient's eye condition is suitable for surgery.

The patient needs to stop wearing contact lenses and maintain good eye hygiene the day before surgery. At the same time, the patient needs to have an empty stomach before the operation, and avoid the use of cosmetics, so as not to affect the smooth progress of the operation.
Recovery time after operation:
Femtosecond surgery is a minimally invasive ophthalmic surgery, which is usually performed under local anesthesia. The operation time is short, usually only a few minutes. The patient is conscious throughout the operation and will not feel pain. After surgery, patients will feel blurred vision, which may be accompanied by eye discomfort and slight pain, but these symptoms will usually be relieved within a few hours.
The key to recovery is the repair of corneal epithelium, which usually takes several days. On the first day after surgery, the patient needs to rest and avoid excessive eye use. Some common recovery measures include regular eye drops, avoiding rubbing eyes, avoiding strenuous exercise and bad habits. Generally speaking, patients can wash their faces normally the next day after surgery, but they need to avoid direct contact of water with eyes.
The patient needs to return to the doctor the third day after the operation, and the doctor will conduct further examination and evaluate the effect of the operation. At this time, the vision will be significantly improved. Most patients can see distant objects clearly, but it may be a little blurred at close distance or at night.
Precautions during recovery period:
During the recovery period, patients need to follow the doctor's advice and pay attention to some details. First, the patient needs to avoid rubbing and irritating the eyes to avoid infection or other complications. Secondly, patients need to drop eyedrops according to the doctor's guidance to help the recovery of cornea and eyes. In addition, patients need to avoid strenuous exercise and excessive eye use, and maintain good living habits and eating habits.
During the recovery period, some patients may have dry eye symptoms, including eye pain, burning sensation and tears. This is a normal reaction, and patients can use artificial tears to alleviate discomfort. If the symptoms persist or worsen, the patient should consult a doctor in time.
Operation effect:
Femtosecond surgery is an efficient and safe ophthalmic surgery, and the results after surgery are usually very satisfactory. The patient can see the distant objects clearly within a few days after the operation, and his vision will further recover. After the recovery period, the patient's vision will be stable at a better level, and problems such as myopia, hyperopia or astigmatism have also been well solved.
In general, the recovery time of the femtosecond surgery in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital is relatively short. Generally, patients can return to normal life and work within a few days to a month after the surgery, and their vision will be significantly improved.
