What does the item of attention after myopic operation have

Often have the friend that a few finish myopic operation to enquiring recently: finish myopic correction operation, can you eat seafood?May I smoke?May I wash my face?And so on.

Here I would like to give you a unified reply: after refractive surgery, there is no special taboo in life, and you can live a normal life soon after surgery.A brief summary of the precautions in life after refractive surgery is given.

Avoid activities that may harm your eyes

After the operation, the eye is in the wound recovery period, to avoid eye trauma as far as possible.For the first month after surgery, try not to participate in swimming, basketball, diving and other activities.

In addition, when the corneal wound is not completely healed, if there is a foreign body into the eye, the probability of infection or eye injury will be higher.If you go out, you can wear sunglasses or special postoperative protective goggles to avoid dust falling into your eyes.

Eye cosmetics, such as mascara, may also enter the eye due to improper operation, so it is recommended to use mascara with caution after surgery.General moisten sex eye cream, can be used, but the eye cream that changes thick makeup to use, also want to use carefully.Various skin care products (toners, creams, etc.) can be used normally on the second day after surgery, but they generally do not enter the eyes.General facial makeup, including the use of foundation, as long as you take care not to let the makeup into the eyes, is also OK.It is recommended not to wear contact lenses such as eye contacts after surgery.

Postoperative cosmetic surgery time

A few friends who love the United States may consider myopia after surgery to do the hairdress operation such as line of eyelash of double eyelid, planting, grain again or operation.We suggest that double eyelid surgery, eyelash implantation and other operations should be done 3 months after the operation;

It is not recommended to do cosmetic operations such as "striped eyeliner", because "striped eyeliner" can cause corneal and conjunctival injury (often encountered in ophthalmic emergency), damage to the eyelid gland tissue, and long-term dry eye and other eye diseases.

Personal hygiene and eye use requirements

Under normal circumstances, you can wash your face, bath and hair normally on the second day after surgery. As long as you pay proper attention, don't touch your eyes vigorously and don't let unclean water enter your eyes.Some people are very careful after the operation, they have to go to the barber shop to wash their hair and dare not wash their own hair. Some people even dare not wash their face for a week. This is completely unnecessary.

In addition, when taking a bath, sometimes it is difficult to avoid some water into the eyes, generally do not need to panic, the running water we use itself is relatively clean, generally will not cause infections and other problems, after taking a bath can be used to light artificial tears and antibiotic eye drops, ease eye discomfort and prevent infection.

Take care not to use eyes too tired, gradually use eyes, but do not prohibit the use of computers and mobile phones.No matter what kind of surgery is done, the recovery of vision after the operation is actually a certain time.

Although many patients can already see a visual acuity of 1.0 a day or two after surgery, early postoperative visual quality is certainly not the same as normal.It usually takes 3 to 6 months for the visual quality to recover completely after surgery.After myopia surgery, many people feel that it is easy to see eye fatigue when looking at close distance, especially when looking at mobile phones and computers.

We generally recommend to use mobile phones and computers as little as possible after surgery, and to turn on bright lights when reading books or watching TV at night.Now most people's work and life are inseparable from computers and mobile phones, completely do not use computers and mobile phones is impossible.

It is generally recommended that according to their own situation, the need for the computer in the work or to use, try not to play games, do not watch WeChat for a long time and so on.Some parents will ask their children to completely ban the use of computers and cell phones after surgery, which is often unnecessary.

Some work, such as graphic design, finance and so on, use the computer for a long time, and see the font is relatively small, may have some impact on the postoperative work, if you can leave some time is better, if it is not convenient to take a vacation, you can also adjust the work intensity.If the work of the use of computer intensity is not large, generally can go to work normally.

Eating and living habits

Generally speaking, there is no requirement for diet after refractive surgery.Some patients' parents often ask whether they need to avoid "dietary restrictions" after surgery. In fact, Western medicine itself does not pay attention to "dietary restrictions" and can have a normal diet after surgery.

We generally still suggest that the usual eating habits can be, appropriate to reduce spicy and stimulating food, reduce food that may cause allergies, digestive tract problems, is also possible, but there is no need to specifically "diet".Some patients or family members are more careful, while asking: "can you eat seafood after surgery?"A moment later, "Can I have chillies?" and a moment later, "Can I have eggs?"I hope you remember that if there is no special instructions from the doctor after surgery, you can choose food according to your own eating habits. Don't ask the doctor about each specific food one by one.

And if you don't have a direct risk of harming your eyes, your doctor won't generally advise against doing something.Some people ask, "Doctor, can I smoke after surgery?"Such questions are difficult for doctors to answer. It is impossible for any doctor to tell a patient, "You can smoke."Smoking is certainly not good for the body, there will be bad stimulation to the eyes, but this is not to say that smoking will cause serious damage to myopia surgery.If you are a regular smoker and are unable to quit, smoking after surgery is unlikely to cause significant eye damage.Physical exercise, as long as it doesn't touch your eyes, doesn't have a noticeable effect. For example, running or working out your muscles at the gym, it's not likely to touch your eyes and can be done normally.Sweat flow into the eyes, will also stimulate the eyes, you can pay a little attention to, after exercise point artificial tears is also good.
