The eye is the window of the heart. Many patients who have just finished the operation don't know what's good for their eyes. How to care for their eyes after the operation. Let's have a look at it together!
1. Food to eat after eye surgery
After surgery, we should eat more foods rich in vitamin A, such as poultry, animal viscera, crabs, all kinds of fish, eggs, milk, carrots, beets, mustard, spinach, pumpkin, sweet potato, zucchini, fresh pears, oranges, apricots, peaches, red dates and so on. The content of vitamin A in red dates is very rich. In addition, the 'anthocyanins' contained in Chinese medicine' Sangzi 'or citrus have good effects on relieving eye fatigue and adjusting vision quickly in the dark.
2. Nutrition to be supplemented after eye operation
Take enough vitamin A every day. Vitamin A is a raw material for the synthesis of rhodopsin. Rhodopsin has a photosensitive effect and exists in the retina. When the human body lacks vitamin A, it will affect the synthesis speed of rhodopsin, the adaptability of the eyes to the dark environment will be reduced, and the severe cases are also prone to night blindness. Vegetarians tend to lack vitamin A, so we found that many monks in temples suffer from night blindness. In addition, vitamin A deficiency can also damage the lacrimal gland epithelial cells, reduce secretion, and aggravate the dry eye symptoms after myopia surgery.
3. What should I do if I feel uncomfortable after eye surgery
It is recommended to take the eye drops prescribed by ophthalmologists with you. If you feel a slight foreign body sensation, redness or tears in your eyes, do not rub the eyes, especially the area from the upper eyelid to the eyebrows, to avoid inflammation or infection. According to the professional guidance of ophthalmologists, it is suggested to use eye drops and artificial tears for treatment to alleviate and treat the discomfort of eyes. If it is still not suitable, it should be returned to the original operation hospital for examination as soon as possible.
Since the eyes are fragile after operation, special attention should be paid to prevent sewage or detergent from flowing into the eyes when cleaning. When washing face, do not pour water on the face, wipe it gently with towel, and pay special attention to it. Try not to rub the eyelids or black eyeballs above the eyes In addition, if you want to clean eye secretions, you can prepare a clean cotton stick, wipe gently on both sides of the corner of the eye, and take the dirty things away from the eyes in the way of cotton stick outward, and do not reuse the cotton stick to avoid the adverse effect of cleaning.
Nursing after eye operation
