After hemi-femtosecond surgery, patients are advised to avoid strenuous exercise for three months to avoid postoperative complications.
Semi-femtosecond surgery is to make a corneal flap by femtosecond laser in a very short time, and after lifting it off, excimer laser can be used to grind the corneal stroma, which can correct the corneal curvature and improve the refractive status of the eye. Patients are not advised to perform strenuous exercise in the early postoperative period, as this may cause the corneal flap to buckle and cause the surgery to fail.
Semi-femtosecond surgery is an outpatient procedure that usually does not require hospitalization, and patients are usually able to get out of bed and move around after the surgery, with most patients achieving better vision the day after the surgery. However, it is recommended that patients refrain from strenuous activities for three months after the surgery, and not to engage in sports that are too confrontational for six months.
After surgery, patients should also pay attention to maintenance, use regular eye drops on time for one month after surgery, rest more, and reduce the time spent looking at electronic products such as cell phones and computers.
It is recommended that patients after the semi-femtosecond surgery follow the doctor’s instructions for care, regular review, and timely consultation after discomfort occurs.
