What are the precautions for myopia laser surgery?

Precautions for myopia correction surgery:

There are many precautions after myopia correction surgery. Generally, after the surgery, the doctor will warn the patient of some precautions:

Clause. 1. The patient's eyes should not be watered for the first week, so as to avoid bringing bacteria into the eyes and causing eye infections. If there is an infection in the eye, the patient's vision can become very poor.

Clause. 2. Don't rub your eyes. Patients will be instructed not to rub their eyes for a week after myopia surgery. If you rub your eyes, you may open the wound of the cornea, destroy the wound of the cornea, make the refractive interface uneven, and the patient's vision will also decrease.

Clause. 3. Instruct the patient to order eye drops carefully. Eye drops have many functions, such as preventing bacterial infection, preventing refractive regression, preventing dry eyes, and promoting wound recovery.

These types of eye drops, if patients can apply them well, the general patient's vision recovery will be better, and the clinical effect will be very good.

Therefore, the re-examination of myopia must attract the attention of patients. Although the surgery is fast, the follow-up examination must be done in place to ensure the quality of the operation.

Myopia surgery is mainly performed on the cornea, which does not have blood vessels, but there are nerves, so you will not feel pain when you have the surgery. During myopia surgery, the patient's good cooperation is an important prerequisite for the success of the operation, therefore, during myopia surgery, patients should pay attention to the following points:

Relax and don't be nervous;

Don't squeeze your eyes hard, don't move your eyes at will, and fix them according to the doctor's guidance;

At the critical moment of surgery, follow the doctor's instructions, do not speak, and are not allowed to move;

During the operation, be sure to keep an eye on the flashing red or green fixation light, even if you can't see the fixation light, don't move it, and gently move your eyes according to the doctor's guidance without moving your head.

On the operating table, do not touch the sterilized area with your hands.

The precautions are to choose a good hospital, and its safety factor will be high. The precautions will also be much simpler. It is recommended that after the mobilization activities such as the summer vacation of Preh Ophthalmology begin, there will be a consultation with an expert in person, and you can go to the clinic in person.

Precautions after myopia surgery (excimer laser):

On the night after surgery, do not take off the eye patch by yourself, and be careful not to collide or rub your eyes, so as not to cause the corneal flap to shift or wrinkle.

When washing your face, hair, and bathing within one week after surgery, prevent water from entering your eyes to avoid infection; Wear polarizers when you go out, they protect against UV rays and filter out stray light, increase comfort, and avoid eye trauma.

Eat less spicy and easy-to-fire foods within a month, such as lychees, tobacco, alcohol, hot pot, etc., and eat more foods high in protein (such as eggs, lean meat, fish) and vitamins to increase nutrition; Do not use cosmetics or cosmetic care for the eyes within one month; Eye massage is forbidden and eye rubbing is avoided.

For a short period of time (1 to 3 months) after surgery, avoid excessive eye use at close range for a long time (no more than 45 minutes at a time). Avoid clashes and strenuous sports such as basketball, football, and boxing for three months, and swimming. Pay attention to personal hygiene and environmental hygiene to prevent infection.

Before your vision is fully restored, avoid driving at night and pay attention to driving safety.

Postoperative visual acuity fluctuates between one and three months due to individual differences (visual acuity on the first postoperative day is not final visual acuity); Individual patients will have blurred near and far vision, which generally improves in about two weeks; In some patients, the capillary blood spots in the eye remain on the eyeball (conjunctiva) when the corneal flap is made, and it is generally absorbed by itself in about 7 to 10 days, and does not affect vision, so there is no need to be nervous.

Regular check-ups, according to the doctor's requirements, do not increase or decrease the number of times or stop the medication. If you feel unwell, feel free to contact your doctor and go to the hospital for a check-up.

Laser surgery refers to the use of carbon dioxide light-emitting tubes to shoot high-power light on pathological tissues, which can cause inflammation to absorb and destroy tumors, and low-power can remove freckle and beautify**. There are excimer laser corneal resurfacing surgery, excimer laser in situ keratomileusis, and excimer laser subepithelial in situ keratomileusis.

Some patients have unsatisfactory results or complications after surgery, which is caused by not strictly following the doctor's instructions for medication and follow-up. Therefore, it is especially important to ask the doctor to pay attention to the postoperative matters here.
