How long is the recovery time after myopia surgery? How long can I watch TV after surgery?

Myopia is a common eye disease, the emergence of myopia to our daily life brings great inconvenience, now many myopic friends want to choose to treat myopia surgery to quickly correct myopia. So the question is, how long is the recovery time after myopia surgery? How long can I watch TV after surgery?

Ophthalmologists said that one of the advantages of laser myopia surgery in the treatment of myopia is that the recovery period of surgery is short, which basically does not affect the patient's postoperative work and study. However, the length of the postoperative recovery period also varies for different groups of people. And the recovery of myopia surgery generally depends on the degree of binocularity before surgery, and is also related to some factors such as individual differences.

For patients with mild and moderate refractive errors, normal vision is essentially restored two weeks after myopia surgery. However, close work should be minimized, each working time should not be too long (within 1 hour is appropriate), and the interval is about 5-10 minutes. At this time, daytime driving can be resumed, but do not cause eye strain, and driving at night is strictly prohibited.

Patients with mild and moderate refractive errors can basically resume night driving about 1 month after myopia surgery. At this time, the postoperative ophthalmic medication has stopped, and the vision is basically stable. However, some patients may experience night glare after surgery, and they need to wait for the glare symptoms to disappear before they can resume driving at night.

The use of hormonal eye drugs is basically stopped one month after laser myopia surgery, and most patients can gradually resume their daily work life and sports.

One year after myopia surgery, highly myopic patients who need to undergo secondary surgery can choose the appropriate operation time according to the doctor's recommendation.

In addition, for patients with high refractive errors and 40 years of age, the recovery period after myopia surgery will be relatively prolonged.
