What to pay attention to after myopia surgery
Myopia surgery is a method to correct myopia through laser technology. At present, many eye hospitals in Wuhan can perform myopia surgery. Although myopic surgery has a high success rate and satisfaction, patients still need to pay attention to some matters after surgery to ensure the effect of surgery and improve the speed of rehabilitation.
Eye rest and protection
A few days after the operation, the pouch may be swollen, and the eyes may experience pain and visual dryness. At this time, patients need to keep adequate rest and avoid staying up late and using their eyes for a long time. At rest, it is best to use a cold compress eye mask to relieve eye pain and swelling.
In addition, within a few weeks after surgery, patients need to avoid any activities that may lead to eye trauma, such as strenuous exercise, heavy object extraction, wading and high-risk outdoor sports. This is to avoid complications during scalpel healing.
In addition to rest, patients also need to protect their eyes to prevent infection, and avoid rubbing eyes and rubbing eyes with hands. When washing and bathing, be careful not to let water, soap or facial cleanser enter your eyes.
Medication and eye care
Within a few days after the operation, the doctor will prescribe some eye drops for the patients to diminish inflammation, relieve pain and moisturize. The patient needs to use the eyedrops correctly according to the doctor's instructions. Do not use other eyedrops not prescribed by the doctor to avoid affecting the surgical effect.
In addition, patients need to visit the hospital regularly, and doctors will evaluate and adjust the dosage of eye drops according to the postoperative conditions. In case of abnormal conditions such as decreased vision, eye infection or pain, the patient should seek medical advice in time.
At the same time, patients also need to pay attention to eye care to keep their eyes clean. After washing and bathing, gently clean the skin around the eyes with clean water to avoid the use of irritating cosmetics. In addition, the use of eyewash to clean the eyes will help reduce eye fatigue and dry feeling.
Diet and living habits
Within a few days after the operation, the patient needs to avoid taking irritating food, such as chili, onion, garlic, pepper, etc., to avoid eye discomfort. In addition, the diet should be balanced, and more foods rich in vitamin A and C should be taken, such as carrots, lemons, oranges, etc. These foods are good for eye health.
In addition, living habits also need to be adjusted. Patients need to avoid using their eyes for a long time, especially the continuous gaze on the electronic screen. Every once in a while, you can relieve eye fatigue by closing your eyes and taking a rest or staying away from the electronic screen. In addition, ensuring adequate sleep time is also an important factor to protect the eyes.
Summary
After myopic surgery, patients need to pay attention to eye rest and protection, correct use of eye drops, avoid taking irritating food and adjust their living habits. These precautions can help patients improve the surgical effect, alleviate eye discomfort and promote rehabilitation.
In short, postoperative eye care and adjustment of living habits are the key to the successful recovery of myopia surgery. Patients need to be nursed and rehabilitated in strict accordance with the doctor's recommendations after the operation, and return regularly to ensure the effect of the operation.
