Discomforts after femtosecond surgery

Femtosecond surgery is a kind of laser vision correction surgery, which is a very effective treatment for patients with myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. However, some uncomfortable symptoms may appear after the operation, and the patient needs to make corresponding preparations and precautions.

First, there may be discomfort in the eyes after the operation. The patient may feel pain, tingling or burning in the eyes within a few hours after the operation. This is a normal physiological reaction that usually disappears within a day or two. Patients can use painkillers or cold compresses to relieve discomfort according to the doctor's advice.

Secondly, blurred or fluctuating vision may occur after surgery. This is because the cornea was changed during the operation, and it will take some time to fully recover. Patients should not worry too much. In most cases, this discomfort will be improved in a few days or weeks.

In addition, some patients may also feel dry, tingling or itchy eyes. This is because the corneal incision during surgery affects the normal lubrication function of the eyes. Patients can use artificial tears or follow the doctor's advice for eye care to help alleviate dry discomfort.

Precautions after femtosecond surgery

First of all, the patient needs to carry out eye protection during the recovery period according to the doctor's recommendations. Within a few weeks after the operation, avoid participating in strenuous exercise, swimming, sauna or other activities that may cause eye infection. At the same time, avoid rubbing eyes or contacting pollutants to avoid eye irritation.

Secondly, patients need to use eye drugs according to the doctor's requirements. The doctor will prescribe eyedrops or ointment, and the patient needs to use according to the doctor's instructions. The dose or frequency cannot be changed at will. These drugs help to alleviate discomfort and promote corneal recovery.

In addition, patients need to follow the doctor's referral schedule. Doctors usually arrange a follow-up visit after surgery to check the recovery of cornea and changes in vision. The patient needs to go to the clinic on time and report any abnormal situation to the doctor in time.

Precautions for life after femtosecond surgery

First, patients need to pay attention to the regulation of diet. Avoid eating spicy, greasy or irritating food within a few days after surgery to avoid eye irritation. At the same time, take more food rich in vitamin C and vitamin E to help repair eye tissue and restore vision.

Secondly, patients need to keep adequate sleep and rest. During the recovery period after surgery, the eyes need to be fully rested and comfortable. At the same time, avoid using electronic equipment, watching TV or focusing for a long time to avoid additional burden on vision.

In addition, patients should pay attention to eye hygiene and keep good eye cleanliness. Use hand sanitizer and clean water to wash your hands, and avoid touching your eyes directly with your hands. In addition, patients also need to change or clean glasses, eye masks or eye pads regularly to reduce the risk of bacterial infection.

summary

Femtosecond surgery is an effective way to correct vision, but some discomfort may occur after surgery. Patients need to make appropriate preparations and precautions, including eye protection, correct use of eye drugs, and timely return visits. In addition, patients also need to pay attention to diet regulation, maintain adequate sleep and rest, and maintain good eye hygiene. Only when patients adjust their living habits reasonably and follow the doctor's guidance can they better restore and maintain eye health.
