How to adjust diet after corneal transplantation?

How to adjust diet after corneal transplantation? How to carry out life nursing after corneal transplantation? How to protect the patient's eyes? What are the precautions in postoperative life? Let's introduce how to regulate diet after corneal transplantation.

1. Dietary problems: smoking and alcohol are forbidden, and spicy food is forbidden, because spicy food can cause vasodilation and eye congestion, which is often easy to cause rejection. In addition, the diet is easy to digest, nutritious and soft food. Do not use hard food to prevent the occurrence of complications such as wound dehiscence and anterior chamber bleeding due to excessive force.

2. Protect the patient's second defecation: prevent forced defecation from causing protrusion of the implant.

3. Eye protection: after corneal transplantation, the sensation of the graft disappears temporarily due to the cutting of the corneal sensory nerve, and the nutritional function of the nerve to the cornea also disappears. The rate of corneal nerve healing was 1mm / month. Generally, the implant can fully recover consciousness within half a year, so pay attention to eye protection within half a year after operation. Due to the anatomical characteristics of the cornea without blood vessels, the corneal healing time is delayed compared with the general tissue. According to our observation, the complete healing time of the cornea is 1 year. When the eye is blunt injured, the anastomotic opening is the first. Therefore, the operation eye should be prevented from trauma for a long time. Be careful not to rub your eyes, avoid violent activities, keep your eyes clean, and wear protective glasses if necessary.

4. Ensure adequate sleep and avoid strong light stimulation: watch TV as little as possible before removing the suture, and the reading time shall not exceed 1h to prevent excessive eye fatigue, congestion and rejection.

5. Fertility guidance: due to the extensive use of hormones and immunosuppressants, these drugs have side effects of inhibiting tissue growth and teratogenesis. For example, during the medication period or short-term pregnancy after drug withdrawal, fetal malformation and fetal mortality are higher than those of normal pregnant women, so it is not suitable to give birth during the medication period or short-term after drug withdrawal.

6. Prevention of systemic infection: due to the application of a large number of immunosuppressants, the body's humoral immunity and cellular immune system are inhibited, the patient's systemic resistance is reduced, and it is very easy to be co infected. After discharge, the patient should avoid contact with patients with infectious diseases, try to avoid activities in public places, and wear masks if necessary to prevent respiratory tract infection. Pay attention to oral hygiene to prevent oral infection. Avoid skin damage and prevent skin infection.

In short, corneal transplantation is a more complex operation in Ophthalmology, with more postoperative complications and longer medication time. Therefore, postoperative nursing should be done well, especially the guidance of discharge is more important. Doing the above work well is an important guarantee for the success of the operation.
