How do I work with a good surgeon for eye surgery?

Surgery, as an important part of treatment, is often faced by patients. Ophthalmic surgeries are designed to be small in scope and most can be performed under local anesthesia. At this time, generally do not feel pain, perception is normal, consciousness is not affected, the operation often need to cooperate with the patient, in order to shorten the operation time and surgical side injury. If the patient can not cooperate with the nervousness, the operator will often play more anesthetic, or through the suture pull and fixation of the eyeball, which increases the operation time and side damage. It is not difficult to cooperate with the surgeon for eye surgery, which usually involves keeping the eyes looking in a certain direction. For example, when doing cataract surgery, you usually have to look straight ahead, and when lying down for surgery, you can just look at the ceiling vertically; when doing glaucoma surgery, you usually have to look down, and when lying down for surgery, you can just look in the direction of your toes; when doing pterygium surgery, you usually have to look at the opposite side of the pterygium, and whether you look at the left side or the right side of the pterygium will be clearly told by the doctor during the surgery; and if you are doing lower eyelid surgery, you usually have to look up, and when lying down for surgery, you can look in the direction of your forehead. For lower eyelid surgery, it is usually necessary to look upwards, lying down, towards the forehead. The eyes do not need to see anything, just think that you are looking in a certain direction, which is mainly to provide the surgeon with a good operating space. Relax and do not turn your eyes fully unless the surgeon asks you to do so. Turning your eyes with all your strength is easy to fatigue, hard to hold on, and easy to be nervous, which will affect the operation. Turn your eyes slowly, not suddenly, and keep your head steady. Don’t look at what the surgeon is doing during the surgery, as the eyeballs will just roll around, making it difficult for the surgeon to do the surgery properly and making it easier for accidents to occur. Towels must be laid to cover the periphery of the operative area, and for eye surgery, the mouth and nose will be covered as well. Oxygen tubing will usually be secured to the nostrils before the surgery to ensure oxygen supply. If you still feel that the ventilation is insufficient, you can open your mouth to breathe, so that there is no lack of oxygen at all. Breathing through the mouth also prevents breath-holding and aids relaxation. Breath-holding can cause eye muscle tension, which not only affects the operation, but also causes various surgical complications. If you feel uncomfortable during the operation, you can communicate with the doctor, but you can’t move freely, such as coughing for an itchy throat or sneezing for an itchy nose, you should remind the surgeon, but try to be gentle and avoid it, especially for inner eye surgery, these movements are very dangerous to the eyes. Suspend water intake two hours before the operation, and go to the toilet before the operation to avoid having the urge to urinate during the operation to affect the cooperation with the surgeon.
