The first day of work after the new year, as in previous years, there are not many patients, but to my surprise there are still more than a dozen myopic patients to check ready for surgical correction, which was unimaginable more than ten years ago. At that time, there were several peak periods in a year for myopia surgery, before the Spring Festival, before May 1 and 11, and during the summer. Why was this so? The main reason is that people think that there is a recovery period after surgery, and it makes sense to do it before a vacation to recover. But how long does this recovery period actually take? This depends on the type of surgery. At present, there are two main types of corneal laser surgery: corneal surface surgery and corneal stromal surgery. The former stands for LASEK and TPRK (total excimer laser, or all-laser); the latter stands for LASIK, F-LASIK (semi-femtosecond) and SMILE (full femtosecond). Surface cutting usually takes about a week, while semi-flying full-flying can be done in a day or two, and some of my colleagues even work on the same day. Do myopic surgery does not require hospitalization, but myopic surgery to prevent infection is very important, preoperative anti-inflammatory drops, clean the eyelash sac, three days after surgery can not wash your face with 7 to 10 days of antibiotics to prevent infection, you can manage your own drops. Generally speaking, there will be a farsightedness process within two weeks after surgery, far and near are not very clear, 4 a 6 weeks vision can reach the best state, about 3 months there is a regression process, after six months tend to stabilize. Some patients are very concerned about the postoperative eye requirements, in fact, there are no strict restrictions after surgery. However, there is a point of sloppiness, one month after the operation can not swim, that is, the water can not enter the eye, must close the eyes when bathing, to prevent water from entering the eye.
