How long after myopia surgery will I be able to happily use my mobile phone?

Answer: Very soon!

In this digital age, a lot of work needs to be done in front of mobile phones and computers. Even if you don't need to face the computer, the mobile phone is an indispensable work communication tool. Many friends who want to have myopia surgery look back at their daily work and full work tasks and hesitate. Office workers have to "intimately communicate" with the screen for a long time after myopia surgery. Can this myopia surgery still be done?

Myopia surgery is a "small project"

When it comes to surgery, many people's first reaction may be the scene of many doctors and nurses busy in the operating room, the patient lying on the operating table for several hours "at the mercy of others", and having to lie in bed for many days after the operation. But in fact, compared with the "major surgery" in our impression, myopia surgery is more like a "small project". The surgical area is located on the cornea, which has no blood vessels and recovers faster.

In addition, myopia surgery has become "all-laser surgery" and does not require the involvement of a mechanical knife. Compared with a mechanical knife, laser cutting is faster and more accurate, and the surgery can be completed in about a few minutes to more than ten minutes.

Finally, the personal experience of the surgery is also relaxing and pleasant. Eye drops with anesthetic effects will be instilled before the surgery. Only slight discomfort will be felt during the surgery. Some patients may shed tears or feel a foreign body sensation after the surgery, but these are all within the tolerable range and will gradually disappear a few hours after the surgery. After the doctor's examination, you can go home.

Let’s get back to the question that everyone is most concerned about - when can we play with our mobile phones?

Generally speaking, you can pick up your phone and play games happily the next day after surgery. If you need to face the computer for a long time for work or study, it does not affect you. You just need to pay attention to rest. After using the phone or computer for 40 minutes, you should take a 10-minute break to give your eyes a full rest. But on the other hand, whether you have myopia surgery or not, you should develop good eye habits to avoid eye fatigue.

What else should I do after the operation?

In order to achieve better surgical results, in addition to playing with your phone in moderation, you should also pay attention to the following points:

1. Take medication on time. The doctor will prescribe medication based on the patient's individual situation to help the patient recover faster, so remember to take the medication 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. At Aier Eye Hospital, follow-up examinations are arranged one day, one week, half a month, one month, three months, and six months after surgery to monitor the patient's recovery.

You can use it ≠ you can use it without restraint. In order to obtain stable vision after surgery, you should take a break while watching the screen. After every 30-40 minutes of high-intensity eye use, please stop your busy work and take some time to stand by the window and look into the distance, relax your mind and give your eyes a rest (in fact, whether you have myopia surgery or not, you should pay attention to controlling the time you use your eyes and combine work and rest).
