Recovery process of femtosecond surgery

Femtosecond surgery is a common ophthalmic surgery used to correct vision problems, such as myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. Laser technology is used to adjust the shape of the cornea to improve the patient's vision. Although the operation time is short, the patient still needs some time to recover after the operation.

The first day after operation

The first day after femtosecond surgery is a critical period for recovery. After the operation, the doctor will wear an eye mask for the patient to protect the eyes from external stimuli. The patient may feel moist, tingling or foreign body sensation in the eyes. These discomfort usually subside within a few hours.

The doctor will prescribe some drugs for patients, such as antibiotic eyedrops and pain relievers, to prevent infection and alleviate discomfort. Patients need to use these eyedrops correctly according to the doctor's instructions, and avoid rubbing eyes or applying any cosmetics.

The patient needs to rest on the first day after surgery to avoid excessive eye use. Activities such as reading, watching TV and using computers should be restricted to avoid additional burden on the eyes. In addition, pay attention to sunshade when going out to avoid direct sunlight to the eyes.

One week after operation

Within one week after the operation, the patient's vision will gradually recover. Most patients can feel the improvement of vision on the second day after surgery. However, the stability of vision will take some time to determine. The patient may feel blurred or fluctuating vision sometimes, which is normal.

The patient needs to continue to use the eye drops prescribed by the doctor and have regular follow-up visits to monitor the recovery process. The doctor will check the corneal healing and adjust the medication according to the patient's condition. In case of special circumstances or doubts, the patient should contact the doctor in time for consultation.

During this week, patients should avoid strenuous exercise and high-risk activities, such as swimming and sauna. In addition, patients should pay attention to keeping their eyes clean and avoid staying up late and overusing eyes to promote corneal healing and recovery.

One month after the operation

One month after the operation, the vision is stable. At this stage, the vision of most patients will reach * good state. The patient can clearly identify objects at short and long distances.

Patients may continue to use eye drops, but doctors may gradually reduce the frequency and dosage of medication. The patient also needs to be revisited regularly to ensure good corneal healing and no complications.

Although the vision has recovered, the patient still needs to maintain good eye hygiene habits. Regular eye cleaning, wearing contact lenses and protecting eyes from injury are important daily care steps.

summary

The recovery process of femtosecond surgery requires the patient to cooperate with the doctor's guidance and supervision. Rest your eyes on the first day after surgery to avoid overuse and exposure to the sun.
