Laser correction of myopia

Nowadays, more and more people are suffering from myopia due to improper use of their eyes, such as playing with mobile phones and watching TV for a long time, improper writing posture, etc. Basically, eight out of ten people on the street are myopic. It can be seen that the frequency of myopia is still very high. Once you suffer from myopia, if you want to see things clearly, you need to wear glasses.

However, there are many occupations that require employees not to be nearsighted, such as aviation, so now many students want to have a wider range of choices before taking the college entrance examination, and they will undergo laser surgery to correct myopia.

"Laser surgery for myopia" is what people often call "excimer laser surgery". It uses excimer laser to perform refractive cutting on the stromal layer under the corneal flap, thereby reducing the corneal curvature in the pupil area and achieving the purpose of correcting myopia. In general, young people and those with low myopia before surgery recover faster. In addition, vision for distant objects recovers earlier than vision for close objects (such as reading, looking at fine objects, etc.). Generally, you only need to rest for one or two days after the operation and then you can resume your normal life and work. However, during the process of postoperative vision recovery, attention should be paid to eye hygiene to avoid eye fatigue and discomfort.

With the popularity of excimer laser surgery for myopia, an unprecedented clear world has been brought to the majority of myopia patients. In order to obtain the best therapeutic effect, it is necessary to prepare for excimer laser surgery for myopia before the operation to ensure better results.

1. Please do not wear hard contact lenses within 3 weeks before myopia excimer laser surgery, and do not wear soft contact lenses within 2 weeks before surgery.

2. Please follow your doctor's advice and use antibiotic eye drops (either Tobrex eye drops or Telibactone eye drops) every day within 3 days before myopia excimer laser surgery; do not use other drugs without the doctor's permission.

3. Whether the eye drops are used correctly after myopia excimer laser surgery is very important for the recovery and stabilization of vision, so we hope to get your attention.

(1) When applying eye drops, the liquid should not be dropped directly onto the cornea. Do not close your eyes forcefully to prevent the liquid from spilling. Also, do not allow the bottle mouth to touch the eyelid, eyelashes, or other objects to avoid contamination.

(2) If the doctor prescribes the use of two or more eye drops, the different eye drops should be applied alternately, with an interval of 5-10 minutes between each application. The eye drops should be shaken well before each use.

4. Please do not use any cosmetics or perfume on the day of myopia excimer laser surgery.

5. Before myopia excimer laser surgery, eat easily digestible food appropriately. Do not eat on an empty stomach or eat too much.

After undergoing laser surgery for myopia, patients must pay attention to rest. If there is slight eye discomfort within 2 to 3 days after the operation, it is normal and the symptoms will gradually ease. However, if the pain symptoms worsen, the patient will need to go to the hospital for treatment again.
