Whether it is for socializing, communication, or entertainment

Study or work

Mobile phones take over our lives

My phone and I are inseparable. I play with it when I’m on the subway, when I’m in the bathroom, before I go to bed, and the first thing I do when I wake up is touch my phone. I never leave my phone without it. Once it’s gone, I feel disconnected from the outside world and instantly shut myself in!

So the question is, if you want to have myopia surgery, how long should you stay away from your mobile phone?

When can I use my phone or computer after surgery?

After surgery, doctors will advise everyone to take a rest and use less mobile phones and computers. However, some people are often too cautious and dare not use electronic products, which affects their normal life and work.

Generally speaking, you should reduce the time you spend using your eyes in the early postoperative period and be careful not to overuse your eyes. Normal office work, replying to WeChat messages, and moderate entertainment are all fine. But on the other hand, whether you have myopia surgery or not, you should develop good eye habits to avoid eye fatigue.

Can I play as long as I want after the operation?

It is not that you cannot use your phone after myopia surgery, but you need to control the time properly. Therefore, it is unnecessary to worry about not being able to use your phone after myopia surgery. Do not be addicted to your phone for too long within one to three months after surgery. Avoid staring at electronic screens for too long within three months after surgery.

What else should I do after the operation?

1. Take medicine on time. The doctor will prescribe medicine according to the patient's individual situation, so you should remember to take the medicine on time and in the right amount.

2. Follow the doctor's advice. The doctor will also give you a list of precautions for eye use, such as avoiding dirty water, shampoo, etc. from entering the eyes within one month... Therefore, you should follow the doctor's advice and avoid eye taboos.

3. Regular follow-up examinations: Follow-up examinations are required one day, one week, half a month, one month, three months, and six months after the operation to monitor the recovery of the eye.

Generally, you can live a normal life a few days after myopia surgery. No matter you are a busy office worker, a candidate preparing for the college entrance examination, a college student, or an office worker working 996, it will not disrupt your life rhythm. You can take off your glasses without waiting!
