How long does full femtosecond Aier ophthalmology Xi'an need to recover?
Aier Ophthalmology Hospital is one of the well-known ophthalmic hospitals in China, with branches in many cities across the country. As an important city in northwest China, Xi'an has also set up Aier Eye Hospital to provide ophthalmic diagnosis and treatment services for patients. As a common method of myopia correction, full femtosecond laser surgery is also widely used in the Xi'an Branch of Aier Ophthalmology. However, many patients are concerned about how long it will take to fully recover after full femtosecond surgery? This article will discuss the recovery time, activity limitation, vision recovery and complication risk in detail.
Postoperative recovery time
Full femtosecond surgery is usually a low trauma myopia correction surgery, and the recovery time after surgery is relatively short. Generally speaking, patients can resume daily life on the first day after surgery. However, doctors usually recommend taking a day off after surgery to avoid severe eye use or contact with water. After that, the patient can gradually resume normal life and work, but avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting. The first week after surgery, there will be some discomfort in the eyes, such as slight pain, dryness and tears. This is a normal physiological reaction, so don't worry too much. In the second week after operation, these discomfort will gradually disappear, and the patient can gradually return to normal vision.
In general, the recovery time of full femtosecond surgery is about 2 to 4 weeks from the operation date, but the specific recovery time varies according to individual differences.
Activity restrictions
During the recovery period after surgery, patients need to observe some activity restrictions to ensure the surgical effect and eye health. First, in the first month after surgery, patients should avoid swimming and soaking eyes with hot water to avoid infection. Secondly, patients should avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting during recovery to avoid increasing eye pressure. In addition, patients should also avoid using their eyes excessively, especially staring at TV, computer and mobile phone screens for a long time. These restrictive measures are helpful to avoid complications and ensure the operation effect.
Visual acuity recovery
After full femtosecond surgery, vision recovery is one of the concerns of patients. Generally speaking, the vision will gradually recover after surgery, but the specific recovery varies with individual differences. On the first day after surgery, patients may feel blurred vision, which is normal. As time goes by, your vision will become clearer. Generally speaking, one week after surgery, the patient's vision will be significantly improved, reaching about 80% of the expected effect before surgery. Within one month after the operation, the vision will be further improved, reaching more than 90% of the expected effect before the operation. However, patients need to be clear that the specific situation of vision recovery varies with individual differences and surgical effects, and regular reexamination is required under the guidance of doctors.
Risk of complications
Although full femtosecond surgery is a relatively safe myopia correction surgery, there is still a certain risk of complications. Common complications include dry eye, infection and keratitis. During postoperative recovery, patients need to closely observe their own symptoms, such as sudden decline in vision, eye pain or foreign body sensation. If these symptoms occur, seek medical advice in time so as to find and deal with potential complications as soon as possible.
To sum up, how long it takes for full femtosecond Aier Ophthalmology Xi'an to recover is a common concern of patients. The postoperative recovery time is about 2 to 4 weeks, but the specific recovery time varies according to individual differences. During recovery, patients need to observe some activity restrictions to avoid strenuous exercise, overuse of the eyes, and immersion of the eyes in hot water. The vision recovery usually reaches more than 90% of the expected effect before operation about one month after operation. However, patients need to closely monitor the risk of complications and seek medical advice in case of abnormal symptoms. Through reasonable rehabilitation care and regular reexamination, patients can successfully pass the recovery period of full femtosecond surgery, and recover good vision and eye health.
