The 2022 Qatar World Cup has begun!

"Did you stay up late to watch the game last night?"

Here is a reminder for everyone

High-intensity work during the day + continuous late nights

Induce acute glaucoma, visual fatigue, dry eyes

Wait for eye problems~

So the question is, if you want to have myopia surgery, can you still stay up late to watch the World Cup? What else should you pay attention to during the recovery period after surgery?

Let’s listen to the doctor’s professional advice.

You Changtao, deputy director of the Aier Eye Hospital affiliated to Henan University (Henan General Hospital of Aier Eye Hospital Group) and director of the refractive department, said: Although compared with the "major surgery" we have in mind, myopia surgery is more like a "small project". In general, the corneal laser surgery area is located on the cornea, there are no blood vessels in the cornea, and the recovery is faster.

But myopia surgery is a type of surgery after all, and there is a certain recovery time, and there are certain behavioral restrictions after the surgery.

Generally speaking, as long as you pay attention to rest, you can use your phone normally the next day after the operation. It is recommended to take a 3-5 minute break every 25-30 minutes of using your phone or computer to give your eyes a full rest. Doctors remind us that bad eye habits such as overusing your eyes and staying up late to play games are absolutely not allowed.

In addition to using electronic products in moderation, there are a few points you should pay attention to:

1. Take medicine on time. The doctor will prescribe medicine according to the patient's individual situation, so 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 using your eyes, such as avoiding dirty water and shampoo from entering your eyes within a month, so you should follow the doctor's advice.

3. Regular follow-up: Follow-up will be arranged one day, one week, one month, three months, six months, and one year after the operation to monitor the recovery status.
