Precautions for femtosecond surgery in Wuhan Third Hospital
Femtosecond laser surgery is a common ophthalmic surgery, which can be used to treat myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism and other eye vision problems. As a well-known medical institution, Wuhan Third Hospital has advanced equipment and professional medical team to provide high-quality femtosecond surgery services for patients. However, before undergoing surgery, patients need to understand and observe some special precautions to ensure the safety and success of the surgery.
Preparation before operation
Before undergoing femtosecond surgery, patients need to perform a series of eye examinations to determine whether it is suitable for surgery. First, the doctor will assess the patient's eye condition, including eye radian and corneal thickness. Secondly, patients need to have naked eye vision examination to determine the treatment goal and expected effect of surgery. Before surgery, patients should stop wearing contact lenses and avoid using eye cosmetics to ensure that the eyes are clean and stable before surgery.
In addition, patients need to inform doctors in advance about their own health status and allergy history, so that doctors can formulate appropriate surgery plans and follow-up care plans according to individual conditions. Femtosecond surgery is usually not recommended for pregnant or lactating women, because hormone changes may have adverse effects on the surgery and recovery process.
Operation process and postoperative nursing
Femtosecond surgery is a minimally invasive surgery, usually performed under local anesthesia. During surgery, doctors will use a femtosecond laser system to cut corneal tissue to change the shape and refractive index of the cornea, thus correcting vision problems. The whole procedure usually takes only a few minutes, but the patient may feel some slight discomfort and eye pressure.
After surgery, patients should follow the doctor's recommendations for eye care and recovery. A few days before the operation, the patient needs to use anti-inflammatory eyedrops and avoid rubbing or excessive contact with the eyes. In addition, patients should pay attention to avoid external irritation to their eyes, such as strong light and dust. During the recovery period after surgery, patients need to go back to the doctor as required to ensure the stability of the surgical effect and the maintenance of eye health.
Operation risks and precautions
Femtosecond surgery is a relatively safe ophthalmic surgery, but there are still some risks and precautions. First of all, some common side effects may occur after surgery, such as dryness, burning, pain or vision fluctuation. These symptoms are usually temporary and can be relieved by using artificial tears and following the doctor's advice.
In addition, patients need to pay attention to the cleaning and protection of the eyes during the recovery period after surgery to avoid infection and other complications. During recovery, patients should avoid going to swimming pools, hot springs or other places that may cause pollution and irritation. In addition, heavy lifting and strenuous exercise should be avoided to ensure that the eyes will not be impacted by external forces.

The femtosecond surgery in Wuhan Third Hospital is a safe and effective ophthalmic surgery method. Before the operation, the patient needs to know the precautions for the operation and follow the doctor's advice and guidance for preparation and nursing.
