Can office workers undergo myopia surgery?

In fact, there are many office workers who have myopia surgery. Using computers for a long time is not a contraindication for myopia surgery. Whether or not you can have myopia surgery depends on your own eye conditions! As long as you pass the preoperative examination and meet the surgical criteria, you can have surgery. After the reexamination on the second day, you can use your eyes normally as long as you follow the doctor's advice and avoid eye contraindications.

How do office workers arrange time for myopia surgery?

Preoperative examination

Zhao Bo, director of Tianjin University Aier Eye Hospital, said that a comprehensive examination must be conducted before myopia surgery, which generally takes about 1.5-2 hours. Through a systematic preoperative examination, the eye condition can be understood and it can be determined whether myopia surgery can be performed and what type of surgery is suitable.

Preoperative medication

After the preoperative examination, antibiotic eye drops should be used 1-3 days in advance as directed by the doctor to prevent infection. Preoperative fixation training should be performed to better cooperate with the doctor during the operation.

On the day of surgery

The time spent in the operating room for myopia surgery is very short, including the time for preoperative disinfection and waiting, which is about half an hour. Moreover, there is no need for hospitalization for the surgery, and you can go home on the same day after the surgery.

Postoperative follow-up

Postoperative follow-up is to track the improvement of the patient's vision after myopia surgery and the postoperative eye condition. Usually, a follow-up is conducted on the first day, one week, one month, three months, six months, and one year after myopia surgery. Strict and regular postoperative follow-up can intervene in the patient's vision in a timely manner. The use, dosage, and frequency of each eye drop need to be determined by the doctor based on the patient's postoperative eye condition.

How to maintain good vision after myopia surgery?

Follow the doctor's advice and avoid eye contraindications. Do not rub your eyes within three months after surgery, and avoid strenuous exercise such as boxing and bungee jumping; do not swim within six months and do not dive within one year to prevent bacterial infection.

Normal eye use ≠ wanton eye use! In daily work and life, you should avoid excessive eye use. After work, you should increase outdoor exercise appropriately, avoid staying up late, eat properly, have good eye habits and regular living habits, which are very important for eye health!
