Alcohol is not recommended during the recovery period after myopic surgery because it can cause conjunctival congestion, which may adversely affect the patient’s recovery.
Alcohol is a component of wine that stimulates blood flow and increases blood circulation, resulting in slower blood clotting, which is not conducive to wound healing after myopic eye surgery. Drinking alcohol also tends to reduce the body’s immune system, making the surgical site susceptible to bacterial invasion, which can lead to infections, affecting the recovery and results of the surgery.
For the sake of health, avoid alcohol and smoking during the recovery period after myopic surgery, avoid spicy and stimulating foods, eat a light diet, and pay attention to nutrition. You should also make sure that you get enough sleep, avoid staying up late, and avoid over-exerting your eyes.
It is recommended that myopic surgery patients follow the doctor’s instructions for care, regular checkups, and timely consultation when discomfort occurs.
