Patients generally have to reduce eye use for about a week after myopic laser surgery, but the exact amount of time off is related to the patient’s recovery.
Myopic laser surgery is an outpatient surgery, less invasive, and generally does not require special arrangements after the surgery. When the doctor confirms that the surgery is complete, the patient can go down to the ground and does not need bed rest. However, in about one week after the surgery patients need to reduce eye use, do not overuse the eyes, so as not to affect the recovery of the surgery, and should also be regularly rechecked to observe the recovery.
However, the specific rest time of the patient is related to the patient’s recovery, if the patient has postoperative complications such as keratitis, the rest time needs to be extended accordingly.
It is recommended that patients after myopic laser surgery follow the doctor’s instructions for care, regular checkups, and timely consultation when discomfort occurs.
