Recovery period of myopia surgery in Wuhan People's Hospital
As a well-known medical institution, Wuhan People's Hospital has accumulated rich experience and technology in the field of ophthalmology. For those who want to get rid of myopia, myopia surgery is a common treatment. However, the recovery period after surgery is crucial to the success of surgery. The following will elaborate on the preparation before the operation, the operation process, postoperative care and recovery period.
1. Preparation before operation
Before myopia surgery, the hospital will conduct a detailed examination of the patient to determine whether it is suitable for surgery. These examinations include intraocular pressure measurement, corneal curvature, vision test, etc. The patient needs to provide a detailed medical history and comprehensive eye examination results, and the doctor will develop a personalized surgical plan according to the patient's situation.
Eye care is also needed before surgery: avoid using contact lenses, stop using eyedrops, and keep eye hygiene. In addition, the patient also needs to communicate with the doctor in advance and sign the informed consent form to understand the risks of surgery and postoperative precautions.
2. Operation process
Myopic surgery is mainly divided into laser surgery and lens implantation surgery. Laser surgery is to change the shape of the cornea through laser technology to correct vision; The lens implantation surgery is to implant the intraocular lens into the eyeball to replace the original lens to change the refractive capacity of the eyeball.
The operation is generally carried out under local anesthesia, and the whole process generally does not exceed 30 minutes. The doctor will correct the shape of the cornea or implant the intraocular lens according to the operation plan. After the operation, the patient can leave the operating room for observation.
3. Postoperative nursing
After surgery, patients need to follow the doctor's advice for proper care. In a few hours after the operation, eye medication and eye cold compress are usually carried out to reduce discomfort and swelling. In addition, patients need to avoid strenuous exercise, eye rubbing and exposure to irritating light after surgery.
The doctor will arrange a reexamination about one week after the operation to ensure the effect of the operation and the recovery of the patient. After surgery, patients need to use eye drops regularly and follow the doctor's instructions for nursing. At the same time, patients also need to pay attention to protecting their eyes from external factors and comply with the prescribed precautions during the recovery period to promote healing and recovery.
4. Time of recovery period
The recovery period after surgery varies according to individual differences, generally taking about 1-2 weeks. During this period, vision will gradually recover, but some discomfort may occur, such as dryness, foreign body sensation and slight blurred vision. These discomfort generally disappear within a few days or weeks.
However, the recovery period does not mean the end of the operation, and patients need to be regularly reviewed and nursed according to the doctor's recommendations. For some time after surgery, the vision may be further improved. Some patients may need to wear temporary glasses or contact lenses to stabilize their vision. But generally speaking, the recovery period after surgery is a stable and good process.
Summary
The recovery period of myopic surgery in Wuhan People's Hospital is different due to individual differences, which generally takes about 1-2 weeks. In the preparation stage before the operation, the patient needs to receive careful eye examination and care to ensure the success of the operation. During the operation, the doctor will carry out corresponding correction or implantation according to the operation plan. After the operation, the patient needs postoperative care, and follow the doctor's recommendations and review arrangements. During the recovery period, patients may have some visual discomfort, but these discomfort will generally disappear. During the recovery period, attention should be paid not only to the recovery of the eyes, but also to the doctor's suggestions and precautions to ensure the long-term stability of the surgical effect.
