Postoperative nursing and precautions of femtosecond surgery

Femtosecond surgery is a common refractive surgery, which is widely used to correct myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. Postoperative care and precautions are crucial to the success of postoperative recovery and effect. After femtosecond surgery, patients should follow the following nursing and precautions.

Eye rest and protection

After femtosecond surgery, the eyes need full rest and protection. Patients should avoid fatigue and strenuous activities, and try to avoid using their eyes for a long time, including watching electronic screens and reading books. At the same time, you should also avoid contact with water sources, and avoid splashing water into your eyes during swimming and face washing. In order to protect the eyes from external pollution and bacterial infection, patients should use the eye mask or goggles recommended by the doctor, and follow the correct hand and eye cleaning habits.

In addition, patients also need to observe the use time and dosage of eye drops. When using eye drops in front of their eyes, they should first wash their hands with hand sanitizer and thoroughly wipe them dry to avoid direct contact with the eyes and face.

When sleeping, you should stay in a prone position to avoid compressing the eyes after surgery, so as not to cause unnecessary irritation and pain.

Avoid eye friction and irritation

The eyes after surgery are sensitive and prone to friction and irritation. Therefore, patients should avoid rubbing their eyes and do not rub their eyes to avoid affecting the surgical effect and causing eye infection. In addition, avoid contact with eyes with cosmetics and skin care products to avoid irritation of eye tissues.

When external stimuli such as sand dust and smoke enter the eyes, the patient should gently wipe the eyes with clean and soft gauze and avoid rubbing the eyes directly with hands.

When cleaning the eyes, use the eye wash solution or warm boiled water directed by the doctor to gently clean and keep the eyes clean and moist.

Diet and lifestyle adjustment

Postoperative patients should follow the dietary regulations recommended by the doctor. Generally, spicy, irritant food and alcoholic drinks should be avoided after surgery to avoid indigestion and eye discomfort.

In addition, patients should also pay attention to maintaining regular living habits and avoid bad habits such as overeating and staying up late, so as to promote the recovery of the body and the stability of the surgical effect.

Regular follow-up and doctor consultation

After surgery, patients should strictly comply with the doctor's return visit time and consultation requirements. Regular follow-up can evaluate the surgical effect and postoperative recovery, and timely deal with possible complications or discomfort. If the patient has persistent eye pain, vision loss, foreign body sensation and other abnormalities, the doctor should be contacted in time for consultation and inspection.

In addition, patients after surgery should regularly check their intraocular pressure and eye conditions, and follow the doctor's recommendations for eye care and prevention.

To sum up, postoperative care and precautions of femtosecond surgery are very important. Patients should pay attention to eye rest and protection, avoid friction and irritation, adjust diet and living habits, and regularly return to see a doctor and consult a doctor. Only do a good job of postoperative nursing can promote the success of postoperative recovery and surgical effect.
