Suggestions on diet after discharge from Zhongshan Eye Hospital

Zhongshan Eye Hospital is a professional eye hospital in Zhongshan City, Guangdong Province, which provides high-quality ophthalmic diagnosis and treatment services for patients. After discharge, patients need to pay special attention to diet to promote wound healing, prevent infection and restore vision. The following is the dietary advice given by Zhongshan Eye Hospital to patients after discharge.

1. High nutrition diet

After discharge, patients need to take high nutrition food to help their body recover. First, attention should be paid to adequate protein intake, such as poultry, fish, beans and dairy products. Protein is an important nutrient for tissue repair and wound healing. Secondly, patients should take rich vitamins and minerals, such as fresh fruits and vegetables. These foods contain antioxidants that help reduce inflammation and damage to eye tissues.

In addition, proper intake of nuts, seeds and whole grains can provide rich dietary fiber and healthy fat, which can help digestion and reduce intraocular pressure. Therefore, patients can choose almonds, flaxseed, oats and other foods as part of their diet.

Finally, patients after discharge should maintain adequate water intake and drink at least 1.5 liters of water every day. Water is essential for lubrication and detoxification of eye tissues.

2. Control salt and sugar intake

After discharge, patients need to control the intake of salt and sugar to maintain eye health. Excessive salt intake will lead to edema and inflammation of eye tissue, thus affecting the recovery of vision. Patients should try to avoid eating processed food, canned food and seasonings with high salt content, such as soy sauce and monosodium glutamate.

In addition, high sugar diet is easy to lead to eye blood sugar fluctuations, increasing the risk of retinal damage. Therefore, patients should reduce sugar intake, especially refined sugar and desserts. Choosing natural sources of sugar, such as fruits and a small amount of honey, can satisfy the appetite without burdening the health of the eyes.

3. Eat more antioxidant foods

Antioxidant foods are rich in vitamins and minerals, which can help prevent eye tissue damage and aging. Patients can eat more foods rich in vitamin A, C and E, such as carrots, red peppers, oranges, lemons and nuts. These foods help protect the retina from free radical damage.

In addition, chlorophyll is an important antioxidant that can help protect eye tissues from the sun's ultraviolet rays. Patients can increase their intake of green leafy vegetables, such as spinach, kale and beet leaves.

4. Avoid irritating food

After discharge, patients should avoid taking irritating food to avoid aggravating eye discomfort. For example, spicy food, caffeine and alcohol can increase blood flow in the eyes, which may lead to elevated intraocular pressure and inflammatory reaction. Patients should try to avoid eating pepper, coffee, tea and alcoholic drinks.

In addition, some foods may cause allergic reactions, which may lead to itching and redness of the eyes. Patients should pay attention to their personal allergy history and avoid food that may cause allergy, such as seafood, nuts and some fruits.

To sum up, Zhongshan Eye Hospital has provided patients with dietary suggestions after discharge, including high nutrition diet, controlling salt and sugar intake, eating more antioxidant food and avoiding irritating food. Following these suggestions can promote the healing of eye wounds, prevent complications, and help patients recover as soon as possible to restore healthy vision.
