Will it affect the start of school if I have myopia surgery during the summer vacation?

Being laughed at for wearing glasses?

The girl said she didn't want to wear frame glasses anymore

Xiaomei (pseudonym), 18 years old this year, said that she started wearing glasses in the first grade. Because she was the only one with myopia in the class at that time, her classmates often laughed at her by calling her "four eyes" and "glasses girl".

"Because my eyes are not big, they look even smaller after I put on glasses, which made me very unconfident, and later I developed a habit of looking down." Xiaomei said that she was about to go to college and hoped to welcome the new semester with a brand new look. It would be great if she could not wear glasses. "I know that my child often feels unconfident because of her appearance after wearing glasses, so as soon as she became an adult, I took her to have myopia surgery and let her take off her glasses." Xiaomei's mother said that after the mother and daughter discussed it, the two came to the refractive department of Wuhan University Aier Eye Hospital for preoperative examination of myopia surgery. According to the preoperative examination results and the usual eye needs, they finally decided to do the all-femtosecond myopia surgery.

Because Xiaomei is about to start school, she questioned whether the myopia surgery would affect her classes. Zhang Qingsong, deputy chief physician, member of the Refractive Subcommittee of the Ophthalmology Committee of the China Association of Non-public Medical Institutions, and director of the Refractive Department of Wuhan University Aier Eye Hospital (Wuhan Aier Eye Hospital), said: You can open your eyes after the surgery, but a small number of patients may have tears and slight discomfort within a few hours after the surgery, which are all normal. You can live a normal life 1-2 days after the surgery, but you need to avoid dirty water, shampoo, etc. from entering your eyes for one month after the surgery, and be careful not to put on eye makeup and do not do strenuous exercise within three months. So myopia surgery will not affect your daily life.

How long does it take for vision to recover after myopia surgery?

Normally, the vision will reach or approach normal on the second day after the operation. Of course, in addition to the data measured by the eye chart, the quality of vision also includes night vision, clarity of vision and other indicators, which take time to recover. Therefore, if there is a slight fluctuation in vision or night glare for a period of time after the operation, it is normal and will disappear over time. Generally speaking, vision will be relatively stable for 3-6 months. Of course, this process will not affect our normal work and life.

For us, we need to face the computer every day for work and study. Whether we have had surgery or not, scientific eye protection is very important. It is recommended to take regular breaks after surgery when using the eyes, and it is good to close your eyes and rest or look into the distance.

Zhang Qingsong reminds: For people who want to undergo myopia surgery, they must go to a regular hospital for a preoperative examination before the surgery to determine which surgical method is suitable for their eyes. They must not choose it at will. They must be responsible for their own eye health to avoid causing eye damage.
