What should we pay attention to after Xi'an ophthalmic trichiasis surgery?
Xi'an's ophthalmic trichiasis has become a common eye plastic surgery. Through trichiasis repair, eyelashes can be more warped and eyes can be more alert. Although this is a routine operation, some matters need special attention after the operation to ensure the smooth progress of postoperative recovery. This article will elaborate on the postoperative precautions from the aspects of diet, eye hygiene, nursing and follow-up.
Food Precautions
Within one week after the operation, try to avoid irritant food, such as spicy, greasy, etc., to avoid eye irritation or inflammation. In addition, more food rich in vitamin C and E should be taken, such as fresh vegetables, fruits and nuts, to promote wound healing and reduce inflammatory reaction.
In terms of diet, it is also necessary to avoid drinking coffee, strong tea and drinks to avoid aggravating postoperative discomfort due to the stimulation of caffeine. At the same time, alcohol and smoking are prohibited, which will affect blood circulation and wound healing, and delay recovery time.
In addition, try to avoid large fish and meat, seafood and other foods that are easy to cause edema within one week after surgery. You can take more foods rich in protein and fiber, such as chicken, fish, tofu and vegetables, which will help postoperative recovery.
Eye hygiene
After surgery, the eyes need special hygiene attention. Two to three times of eye washing should be carried out every day. Normal saline or cleaning solution recommended by the doctor should be used to keep the eyes clean and prevent infection. After washing eyes, gently wipe them with special clean gauze. Do not touch or wipe eyes with hands to avoid irritation.
There may be slight redness, swelling and pain in the eyes after surgery, so the anti-inflammatory eyedrops or ointment can be used as recommended by the doctor. Be sure to follow the doctor's medication method and dosage to avoid overuse or misuse of drugs.
The use of cosmetics and skin care products, especially eye cosmetics, is prohibited within one week after surgery to avoid infection or allergy. The use of eye drops, eye creams and other professional products directed by doctors can help the wound healing and eye recovery after surgery.
Nursing Precautions
The eyes after surgery need special care to avoid strenuous exercise and blink, so as not to cause additional pressure and tension on the eyes. When sleeping at night, use professional eye protection goggles to protect your eyes from external stimuli and avoid collisions.
Avoid direct sunlight and strong light stimulation within one week after the operation, and wear sunglasses or sun visors to block when going out, so as to reduce the discomfort of the eyes.
After trichiasis surgery, the eyes may feel dry and astringent. You can use artificial tears recommended by the doctor to lubricate them, which will help reduce discomfort.
Follow up and summary
Within one week after the operation, you must follow the doctor's advice for further consultation. The doctor will check and evaluate the eye wound and adjust the treatment plan according to the situation. During the follow-up visit, you can ask the doctor questions to understand the postoperative precautions and conditions that need special attention.
To sum up, Xi'an ophthalmic trichiasis surgery needs to pay attention to diet, eye health, nursing and follow-up. Through reasonable diet, attention to eye health, dedicated care and regular follow-up, it can help patients recover more quickly and smoothly after surgery, and better protect the health of eyes.
