How long does it take to recover after surgery?
In Wuhan, there is a well-known eye hospital that specializes in all femtosecond laser surgery, namely Wuhan All Femtosecond Eye Hospital. The hospital uses advanced laser technology to provide accurate, safe and fast corrective surgery for myopia patients. However, many people are confused about the time of recovery after surgery. This article will give you a detailed explanation of the recovery time from the aspects of postoperative eye sensation, vision change, pain and living habits.
Eye sensation recovery time
On the first day after the operation, the patient will feel wet eyes, fatigue and slight pain in the eyes. This is a normal physiological reaction, which usually lasts for 2-3 days. However, on the second day after the operation, the patient's eyes will feel better, pain will be reduced, and fatigue will gradually disappear. In the next week, the feeling of the eyes will return to the normal level without any discomfort.
In the first month after surgery, the patient may feel slightly dry or itchy eyes, which is a normal reaction during corneal repair after surgery. This discomfort generally reduces gradually and disappears completely within a month. Therefore, the recovery time of the whole eye sensation is about 1 month.
Recovery time of vision change
On the first day after the operation, the patient's vision will be affected by the operation, and it is normal that the vision is blurred or slightly changed. About the second day after the operation, the vision of patients will be significantly improved, and many patients can reach the vision level required for normal life. However, the vision will continue to improve in the next month to achieve the best surgical results.
Generally speaking, the vision of most patients will gradually stabilize within 1-3 months after the operation, reaching the expected effect of the operation. However, the recovery time of patients' vision is also related to preoperative diopter and individual differences. Therefore, patients need to return regularly according to the doctor's recommendations to ensure the stability of the surgical effect.
Pain recovery time
On the first day after the operation, the patient may feel mild discomfort, and some people may experience eye pain. Generally, this pain will be significantly relieved within the third day after the operation. Patients can relieve their pain by following the doctor's instructions, such as using eyedrops and avoiding rubbing eyes.
The second week after the operation, the patient's pain should have disappeared. However, some patients may occasionally experience slight eye pain within one month after surgery. This pain is normal, mainly due to minor trauma during corneal repair. Once the cornea is completely recovered, the pain will disappear completely.
Lifestyle adjustment time
After the operation, the patient needs to adjust some living habits slightly to promote postoperative recovery. First of all, patients need to avoid violent collision or intense exercise to avoid unnecessary damage to the eyes. Secondly, patients need to avoid overuse of eyes, such as watching TV for a long time, using computers, reading and other activities. This can reduce the fatigue of the eyes and is conducive to the recovery after surgery. In addition, patients need to keep their eyes clean to avoid infection.
Normally, the adjustment time of these habits is about one month. During this period, patients need to pay special attention to the health of their eyes and follow the doctor's advice for care.
Summary
Wuhan All Femtosecond Eye Hospital provides advanced all femtosecond laser surgery for patients to correct myopia. The recovery time after surgery varies from individual to individual. Generally, the recovery time of eye sensation is about one month, the recovery time of vision change is about 1-3 months, the recovery time of pain is about two weeks, and the time of lifestyle adjustment is about one month. Patients should pay close attention to the symptoms of the eyes after surgery, and follow the doctor's advice for nursing to ensure the recovery effect after surgery.
