1. Appointment consultation: You can make an appointment for surgery through telephone or online channels and go to Aier Ophthalmology for preliminary consultation. The doctor will evaluate your eyes to determine whether it is suitable for surgery, and explain the process, risks and expected results of the operation in detail. At this time, you can also ask your doctor questions and discuss any doubts.
2. Preoperative examination: If the operation is decided, a series of eye examinations are needed, including measuring corneal curvature, intraocular pressure, fundus and other parameters to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the operation. These tests are usually completed within a few days or weeks before surgery.
3. Preoperative preparation: One day or several hours before the operation, it is necessary to stop using contact lenses and avoid using cosmetics according to the doctor's instructions. On the day of operation, you will be required to arrive at the hospital or eye center in advance for further preparation and preoperative anesthesia.
4. Surgical procedure: According to the selected surgical method, the surgical procedure will be different. In femtosecond laser surgery, doctors will use femtosecond laser to cut the cornea and adjust its shape to correct myopia. In ICL lens implantation, the doctor will implant a foldable intraocular lens in the eye to change the refraction of light. No matter what kind of operation, the whole operation process is usually completed in a few minutes to ten minutes.
5. Postoperative observation and care: After the operation, the doctor will check your eye condition and provide you with some simple nursing guidance. You may feel slight discomfort, dry eyes or blurred vision, which is a normal reaction. You need to use eye drops according to the doctor's advice, avoid strenuous exercise and eye friction, and make regular follow-up visits to ensure that you return to normal.
Postoperative recovery time varies from person to person. Generally speaking, most patients can return to normal life and work within a few days to a few weeks. However, the specific recovery time depends on the surgical method, the degree of myopia and personal rehabilitation.
As for whether you need someone to accompany you, it depends on your personal situation. Anesthesia and assistance will be given during the operation, so generally no one is needed to accompany you. But considering the possibility of eye discomfort and blurred vision after operation, it is a good suggestion to have family or friends to accompany you.
