Restrictions after vision correction. After laser correction of vision - what can not be done

Is the laser vision correction safe?

Laser vision correction is projected and safe. Impact, the depth of which is strictly limited, occurs only on one of the refractive media of the optical system of the eye, the cornea. The temperature of the fabric in the exposure area is practically not rising. With each pulse, the laser removes a layer of tissue with a thickness of 0.25 μm (approximately 1/500 part of the thickness of the human hair), such accuracy allows to achieve the ideal result of the procedure as small as possible.

What will happen if the laser misses?

In the process of treatment, the laser cannot miss, since the position of the eye is fixed with a special vacuum ring, and the head is a vacuum cushion. The patient's chair is rigidly associated with a laser installation, the intensity of the laser beam is controlled by a computer, and the electronic tracking system for the patient's view during the operation provides centering of the exposure zone - all this ensures maximum accuracy of the procedure.

What is the probability of impaired view after laser correction?

The deterioration of vision in people who passed the procedure of laser correction is possible due to age-related changes of the visual system after 45-50 years or in a situation of development of eye diseases that are not related to correction procedure.

Is it possible to go blind as a result of the procedure of laser correction?

Laser vision correction has passed a multi-stage clinical trials before it began to be used in ophthalmic clinics. Since the end of the 80s of the last century, this method of recovery of vision has spread all over the world, several millions of Correction on the Lasik technique were made. Cases of the onset of blindness after this procedure is not fixed.

Laser correction - is it hurt? Does it be done under anesthesia?

This procedure is carried out without the use of anesthesia under local drip anesthesia, which, as a rule, is easily transferred to patients and eliminates any pain.

From what age can you make a laser vision correction?

Laser vision correction can be recommended to those who achieved 18 years of age. However, the final decision on the possibility of conducting the procedure is made by a doctor, taking into account data on the state of the visual system of each particular patient.

Laser correction do not make children and elderly because it is dangerous?

This procedure does not really conduct children, but not because in its process it turns out any harmful effect on the eyes of a child, the reason is the inexpediency of laser correction for those who have not reached 18 years. The fact is that with the growth of the body, the visual system changes and grows - and guarantee a persistent result of intervention before the vision is fully stabilized, it is impossible.

The correction and those older than 45 years old are not recommended - in this case, in view of the age-related changes in the visual system, the result may not be quite satisfactory, the procedure will not save from glasses, and good vision will be provided on distant, but not in the near distances. However, for older patients, there are other effective methods for recovering visual functions.

What restrictions act after surgery?

After the procedure, several days cannot be used with decorative cosmetics for the eyes and varnishes for hair, also at this time, drinking alcoholic beverages. Watch TV, drive a car, work at a computer, you can read books in the first day after laser correction.

Such loads like dancing or lightweight cycling are possible the day after the procedure, but, of course, this question must be previously discussed with the attending physician. For more serious prohibition, extreme classes fall - for example, the rise of the rods - also the restrictions apply to team and contact sports - volleyball, football, struggle, etc. But with the rises of the bar, and with volleyball, and with the struggle will have to wait at all long, after the end of the rehabilitation period, all restrictions are removed. Also, after laser correction, visits to the solarium and the pool are not recommended. The recovery time for each patient is individual, on average this process can take about a month.

Is it possible to make a laser correction of vision before childbirth? And is it possible then to give birth?

Laser correction is successfully conducted by bombing women, no potential risks for future mothers this procedure is not in itself. The problems are possible during childbirth completely different about another reason, due to the unsatisfactory state of the retina, - serious loads are able to cause its detachment and loss of vision. Therefore, all women planning the birth of a child should check the status of the retina and, if necessary, be sure to undergo a procedure for its strengthening.

After what time after the laser correction it is better to be pregnant?

Laser correction is not carried out only directly during periods of pregnancy and breastfeeding, but this prohibition is due to any threats for moms or kids. The body of pregnant and lactating women undergo certain changes, and the result of the correction may be unstable, the procedure simply will not give the expected effect.

Is it possible to make a laser correction at a thin cornea?

Thanks to the possibilities of modern equipment, the border of the application of the method has expanded significantly. Today, ophthalmosurgeons conduct laser vision correction with femtosecond accompaniment, it is almost fully automated technology, a new "gold standard" in performing this procedure.

The femtosecond laser does not cut, and the cornea fabric smears contactlessly, and its beam can be focused on a given depth with an accuracy of several microns. Such gentle, contactless and however, an unprecedented accurate impact makes it possible to spend a correction of vision to patients with a fine cornea and other complex states of the optical system of the eye - that is, many of those who earlier had to refuse.

Is it possible to make laser vision correction in the summer, heat and bright sun will not affect her result?

Features of the reducing period after laser vision correction does not depend on the winter on the calendar or summer. On the day of the procedure in the clinic, a total of a total of one and a half or two hours. Then, after the control medical examination, the patient independently goes home - and if warm on the street, such a walk may be even more pleasant than in the cold winter months.

Due to high light sensitivity during the rehabilitation period, it is recommended to use sunglasses on the street, and this will have to do both in summer and in winter.

Is it possible to make a laser correction before flying on vacation, south?

You can fly on an airplane the day after the procedure, atmospheric pressure drops do not pose a hazard for a person who has passed a laser vision correction. However, with departure to rest, it's still reasonable to wait, lingering for a couple of weeks. The change of the climatic zone increases the risk of the development of colds, the complication of which can become eye inflammation, - so at first after the intervention it is worth a little more. Is it possible to make laser vision correction at myopia -20 D?

Under the myopia, such a high degree laser correction of vision is not carried out. Patients who do not lose the natural accommodation of the eye, that is, the ability to see well and near, and away, ophthalmologists offer to pay attention to the implantation procedure of fakic lenses. In essence, this procedure is similar to optical vision correction with the help of conventional contact lenses - with the difference that the contact lenses of a person independently puts on a cornea, and the fakyer implanted through the micro-suite of the sizes of about 1.8 mm, which is self-metricly compliant.

Ophthalmoshurgerg Georgy Pavlovich Pardjanadze is responsible for questions about laser correction

  • After the excimer-laser correction about one hour and two you will have to spend in the clinic. This is necessary so that after the laser correction procedure, the doctor made a test inspection of your eyes, made sure that the upper strata of the corneal was imposed correctly.
  • After excimer-laser correction, on the same day, you can go home. Vision correction is carried out in the "one day" mode, without hospitalization. But you need to undergo mandatory control checks view after 1,3,7.14 days, and after - after 1.3 months. All of these postoperative inspections in the Ophthalmological Clinic "Excimer" are performed is free!
  • If it is necessary, the doctor will give you a postoperative examination special dropsProtecting from the emergence of infection that you will need to bury for several days.
  • Installing drops (2 drops 4 times a day) before the time until the doctor cancels them. Drops are necessary in the bottom arch of the conjunctiva - when viewed upwards, pushing the lower eyelid down. Effectively burst drops, lying, fixing both centuries.
  • Please note that use drops, ointments, eye gels are possible only by appointment of a doctor!
  • IMPORTANT! After the correction, it is possible to tear, in no case are not a trituit of the eyes, get into the cheek with a clean handkerchief or a sterile napkin. Avoid any touch to the eyes during the first day after the correction.
  • In the first hours after the operation and during the day (2-3 times), if necessary, we can take soothing and painkillers (analgine, barallgyin, ketorol, etc.).
  • On the first day after laser correction, try to sleep on your back.
  • In the next 2-3 days, do not allow soaps or shampoo into the eyes.
  • During the rehabilitation period (about a week), contraindicated:
    • hitting the eyes of dirty water, visiting the pool, baths, saunas, bathing in water bodies;
    • physical exertion associated with increased injury and lifting weights (dancing, skiing, skates, contact and extreme sports and other traumatic activities);
    • women are not recommended to use decorative cosmetics, hair varnish, aerosols;
    • it is not recommended to sunbathe, doctors also advise that wearing sunglasses in sunny weather;
    • during the recovery period, it should be refracted from alcohol consumption.
  • Be sure to pass by the doctor the control checks of view appointed (postoperative observation schedule will be your doctor). All of these postoperative examinations in the Ophthalmological clinic "EXIMER" are fulfilled free of charge.
  • In case of the impossibility of your visit, notify the clinic registry officers.

After the laser correction of high degrees of myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, a person needs some time to finally adapt to new vision. The brain must adapt to unusual visual information. In order to "help" him, in the clinic "EXIMER" patients are given the possibility of adaptation with the help of a special office "Reamed", developed by the specialists of the brain research.

The action of the device is based on the method of video computership autotraining. Such an approach optimizes the operation of the neurons of the visual bark, and the vision at the same time is significantly improved.

Remember! The result of laser correction does not change over time - This is a proven fact. Vision correction was held multi-step clinical trials before it began to use ophthalmologists in medical centers and clinics around the world. Since the end of the 80s, more than 15 million corrections were made and therefore cases of impaired view after the excimer-laser correction on the laury method was not fixed.

Laser correction is a modern way to solve the problem of myopia and hypermetropy. The procedure is an alternative to people who do not want to associate their lives with glasses and lenses.

Correction has a high cost, so some patients are forced to postpone her, no money. In addition, people are afraid to go to surgery. They do not know which the consequences and the timing of the recovery of vision after laser correction are waiting for them, do not want to lose ability to lose weight for a long time.

Why do patients postpone laser correction?

If you compare the price of the procedure and the cost of contact lenses per year, then the benefit is shifted towards operating intervention. But people who suffer from vision abuse have other fears that do not give them to decide on the cardinal measures:

  • Thoughts that vision will not be restored to the end. Doctors before the appointment of each operation, diagnose the state of the patient's visual apparatus. The correction of myopia is not prescribed with the indicators above -15 diopters, and the hyperity above +5. Highly exposure to surgery, for example, the implantation of the facile lenses.
  • The patient is afraid that his eyesight will restore for a while. Indeed, if you constantly expose the eyes of a large load, read in darkened rooms and in an uncomfortable posture, spending a day for a computer, vision can be spoiled again. But the gained experience will teach a man carefully to treat his eyes.
  • Fear of a long time recovery after laser correction. People mistakenly imagine that after the procedure they will have to undergo a long course of rehabilitation, dressings and therapy. In fact, the eyes will restore its visual sharpness within 2-24 hours after the intervention. A little more time will be needed at the rehabilitation period.

Preparation for the operation

Laser remedication of vision is not the most difficult eye operation, but requires a care physician, hard hand and excellent knowledge. Before appointing the procedure, a medical worker will examine the patient for the presence of contraindications. Do not prescribe these operations minors, pregnant women, women during lactation, persons suffering from cancer diseases, diabetes, other eye diseases.

There are several treatment methods. Already at the first reception, the doctor will select the most acceptable. The timing of the recovery of vision after laser correction depends on the selected technique. As before any operation, before correction, the vision is required to pass fluorography, pass blood and urine tests. Also, the patient must also be compiled and sign agreement on operating intervention in the selected clinic.

Preparations are required from the patient. There is a list of recommendations and prescriptions that will help to conduct an event comfortably, without extra stress.

  • During the day, alcohol cannot be used before carrying out operation.
  • On the day of the procedure, it is not recommended to apply makeup, use perfume and lotions, varnishes, aerosol deodorants.
  • Doctors advise 1-2 weeks before correction to stop using contact lenses.
  • It is advisable for the operation to wear a breathable clothing with a wide collar.
  • In the hospital, the patient needs to take drops for the eyes if the oculist was already prescribed, and sunglasses. Immediately after manipulations, the eyes will be very susceptible to bright light.
  • It is recommended to take with me the accompanying person, since some time after restoring the vision of the laser correction in the patient there will be a fog in front of the eyes.

Operation

The procedure itself takes 10-15 minutes, and the time of direct exposure is about a minute. It is painless and performed under local anesthesia in the form of droplets. After anesthesia, the eye is fixed by the expander so that the patient does not accidentally blinked. With the help of a laser, the doctor creates a new cornea shape, removing extra fabrics.

Duration of recovery

The primary recovery of view after the operation of the laser correction takes up to 2 hours, this time is desirable to spend in the clinic under the supervision of a specialist. After the patient is ready to return home, theoretically, it can control the vehicle, but discomfort, burning, fog is possible in the eyes. Therefore, in practice, the management of the vehicle after the correction is not recommended.

Full recovery of vision after the laser correction femto-laury and laurys will last 24 hours. A more traumatic lasca technique. After it, the recovery is 3-5 days. All indicators are individual, depend on the type of correction, the state of the organs of vision. Average full healing indicators for 1-3 months.

Types of laser correction techniques and timing

There are several species

  • Photorefractive keratectomy (FRK) is the first and oldest method of correcting myopia and hyperopia. The timing of the recovery of vision after the laser correction of this species is up to 4 days, and rehabilitation is 3-4 weeks. A protective lens is used to reduce the period. This method is used only if other methods are contraindicated.
  • Lasen is a more modern modification of the FRK, its advantages are that it allows you to operate both eyes in one procedure, and also suits patients with a fine cornea. The period of recovery is less than when kerattectomy, up to 3 days
  • Lasik is the most popular procedure at this time. Numerous positive reviews about the restoration of vision after laser correction This technique confirm that visual acuity is restored within a few hours after manipulation. The peculiarity of this operation is that the laser leaves the surface layers of the cornea entire, and only medium layers of fabric evaporates. For this, the upper flap is cut and rejuvenated to the side, and after the actions return to the place where the recovery of the epithelium occurs on its own.
  • Femto-laksik is different from the usual method of Lasik the process of formation of a corneal flap. A femtolazer is used for its cut.

In order for the operated person to be faster to start an ordinary life and got rid of discomfort in the eyes, he should be appointed a doctor. Rehabilitation of organs of vision, on average, takes one week. The patient should comply with such recommendations:

  • For 3 days after the correction, it is not recommended to sleep on the stomach and side, it will save the auditorium from possible damage.
  • You can not touch your eyes with your hands or other outsiders, rub them.
  • After the operation of 3-4 days, it is not recommended to wash your head, or watch the shampoo do not get into the eyes. Wash should be neat, avoiding the area around the eyes.
  • During the recovery period after laser correction, alcohol refusal is required. It can contribute to dehydrating the surface of the cornea.
  • The patient needs to temporarily smoke and avoid smoke.
  • It is not recommended to be in the sun, and, if necessary, always use sunglasses while the eyes are susceptible to the lights.
  • In order to prevent infection, it is necessary to postpone visits to the pool, sauna, bath.
  • It is impossible to engage in active and traumatic sports, raising and movement of goods.
  • Eyes and brain need to be adapted to new visual information. The first 2 months do not need to strongly overload the eyes with reading and work at the computer, be sure to take breaks.
  • Women should refrain from using decorative cosmetics, splashing spirits and varnishes near the eyes, eyelash extension.

Medical observation

During the recovery period of vision after laser correction, the patient needs to visit the ophthalmologist several times.

The next day, after the procedure, the operated person must come to an inspection. If necessary, he will be assigned a few more control checks.

To protect your eyes from infection, a medical worker assigns drops. They need to be injected strictly according to the instructions, a dose increases. When buckling, it is necessary to ensure that the spout of the bubble does not come into contact with any surfaces, including the cornea of \u200b\u200bthe eye.

After the procedure according to the method of Lasers, a bandage lens is superimposed on the operated eye, its function is to protect the cornea from contact with the external environment and in reducing pain. After 4 days, the lens is removed in the clinic.

If in the first three days the patient is experiencing pain and burning, it can take an anesthetic medicine. If the pains do not subscribe, it is recommended to contact a specialist.

Possible complications

Despite the fact that only 2% of all laser corrections carried out are accompanied by complications, the likelihood of their education cannot be discounted. The following complications may arise:

  • Eveniness and redness of the mucous membranes of the eyes.
  • Infectious inflammation.
  • Allergies to used drugs. The patient should report to the procedure for which medicines it appears an allergic reaction.
  • Salt of retinal eye.

90% of the information we perceive due to vision. Color, shape, sizes of objects, their remoteness - all these indicators we evaluate our eyes. If the vision is bad, then the possibilities of such a person are significantly reduced. And the worse vision, the lower and the quality of human life. The good demand for vision correction becomes clear.

The most common method of vision correction is laser. Traumatization of tissues with this method is minimal, and the dissected fabric is healing very quickly.

Laser vision correction began to apply quite recently. Initially, this method was not too effective, but by now it was possible to improve it so much that only 5% of patients after laser correction there are complications or the need for a re-operation.

Contraindications for laser correction of view

Laser vision correction is still microoperation, so they do not hold it. There are a number of medical contraindications that exclude laser vision correction:
  • glaucoma. cataract
  • operated retinal detachment in the past
  • progressive myopia
  • changes from the Eye DNA
  • degeneration or retinal dystrophy
  • inflammatory diseases of the eye
  • pregnancy and breastfeeding period
  • sugar diabetes in the form of decompensation
  • the presence of a herpetic infection
  • autoimmune diseases (arthritis, collagenoses) and immunodeficiency states (for example, AIDS).

    Preparation for the operation and postoperative period

    Before the operation of the laser correction of vision, it is necessary to undergo a survey from doctors - an ophthalmologist and therapist and pass the tests that they will appoint. As a rule, a general blood test is prescribed, HIV tests and hepatitis B and C.

    Before the examination and operation, contact lenses cannot be worn (soft - at least a week, hard - two). 48 hours before the operation, it is forbidden to use alcoholic beverages even in minimal doses within 24 hours before the operation cannot be used with eye cosmetics.

    After the operation, you must thoroughly fulfill all the recommendations of your attending physician. It is impossible to touch the operated eye at least to the first after discharge from the hospital examination of the doctor. At least three days after the operation, do not wash and wash your head. Within two weeks after the laser correction procedure, bright light should be avoided, contact your eyes with very hot or cold air, you can not rub the eye and use cosmetics for the eyelids, eyelashes and eyebrows for a month - do not attend the pool and sauna. The doctor, based on your health and nuances of the past operation, may advise any other restrictions, it is necessary to strictly follow these recommendations.

    For any unusual sensations in the eye, the drop in view should urgently consult a doctor.

    If the operation and postoperative period passed without complications, then it is possible to return to normal life in a month.

    Methods of laser vision correction

    Laser vision correction is carried out by such methods:
  • photorefractive kerattectomy (FRK, PRK)
  • laser keratomez (laury, lasik)
  • laser epithelieceraterateratectomy (Lased, Lasek)
  • epi-Lasik (Epi-Lasik)
  • super Lasik
  • femto Lasik (femto-lasik).

    Contraindications after laser vision correction

    The first day after laser correction of vision are the most responsible for the patient. As you correctly understand, this is due to the processes of healing the cornea of \u200b\u200bthe eye, on which the operation was carried out. The main task of the patient is not to harm yourself, then further recovery will be held according to plan.

    Contraindications after laser correction of vision is simple - it is necessary to comply with the instructions of the doctor, eliminate any mechanical eye damage and observe the droplet injection mode.

    We will introduce you to a list of things that categorically impossible to do after the operation. They can lead to mechanical damage and displacement of cornea flap or contribute to infection in the operation zone.

    Memo to the patient after laser correction

    Home treatment and patient mode after the correction procedure is not something heavy. The clear execution of the appointments of the doctor and the rules of behavior guarantee you the speedy recovery:

  • Strictly observe the appointment of your doctor
  • Drip postoperative drops according to the schedule
  • Before instilling the droplets always wash your hands
  • After the operation, it is not recommended to touch the eyes and centuries.
  • The first day after the operation is not recommended to wash, take a bath and shower
  • In the first month after the operation, it is not recommended to rub eyes, put on them
  • Do not wear things with a narrow throat, put on the head
  • Avoid any eye injury
  • We do not advise use makeup on eyelids and eyelashes, hair varnish
  • Within 3-4 weeks it is not recommended to visit the sauna, swimming pool, solarium
  • In the summer during these deadlines, we do not recommend finding on the beach without sunglasses
  • Bathing in open water bodies and pool until the end of the treatment at the end of the recovery period is almost all limitations are removed and the patient returns to its daily life and physical activity.

    When the recovery period is completed, you can forget about all restrictions and enjoy excellent vision without glasses and contact lenses!

    Laser vision correction - possible complications after surgery

    Like any surgical operation, laser correction may have individual complications. But almost all of them are treatable. The frequency of the appearance of complications is in the ratio of one eye from a thousand operated on, which is 0.1 percent. But after all, before making a decision, it is worth carefully studying all about the alleged postoperative problems. This list is quite long. But in real practice they are quite infrequent. It is especially worth being ready to face similar problems in the case of a high degree of minus or positive vision.

    1. Insufficient or excessive correction.

    Even the most careful calculation will not be able to guarantee the absence of this problem. The most correct calculation can be done with small degrees of myopia and hyperopia. Depending on the diopters, there are chances of a complete return of 100% of vision.

    2. Loss of flap or position change.

    It only happens during or after the Lasik operation. It happens when carelessly touches the operated eye in the next few days, due to the insufficient sticking of the flap and the cornea or when injury. Corrected by returning the flap into the correct position and closure by its lens or the imposition of a pair of seams for a short time. There is a danger of falling the resulting vision. With complete loss of the flap, the postoperative period passes as in the FRK, and the postoperative recovery occurs longer.

    3. The center shift when exposed to the laser.

    It occurs in case of incorrect fixation of the view of the patient or its offset during the operation. Before choosing a clinic, it is necessary to study the equipment used. Modern excimerlaser installations have the tracking system of eye movements and are able to stop dramatically if they detect at least the slightest movement. A significant degree of decentship (center displacement) may affect vision and even cause coolant.

    4. The emergence of defects in the epithelium.

    Perhaps during the Lasik operation. Such troubles may appear as a feeling of a foreign body in the eye, abundant tearing and fear of bright light. Everything can continue 1-4 days.

    5. Verpudence in the cornea.

    It happens only with FRK. It appears due to the development in the cornea of \u200b\u200bthe connective tissue due to the individual inflammatory process, after which the clouds arise. Eliminated by the laser grinding of the cornea.

    6. Increased lights.

  • It happens at any operation and passes alone after 1-1.5 years.
  • Miscellaneous vision in the bright and darkest day.
  • It is very rare. After a while, adaptation comes.

    7. Infectious processes.

    It is very rare. It is associated with non-compliance with postoperative rules, with low immunite or presence in the body of inflammatory foci before the operation.

  • It occurs in 3-5% of patients. May last from 1 to 12 months. Discomfort is eliminated by the use of special drops.
  • Two image.
  • Meets infrequently.

    Contraindications after surgery

    I have long wanted to create this topic. Contraindications are not for, and after surgery (by searching the information, I did not find it .. forgotten scraps).

    Question: And when can I wash your head and how to do it? And today, at the inspection, the doctor said that it was not necessary to drink carbonated drinks, allegedly can the flap climb?

    So. What can not (undesirable) do after laser correction:

    it is known that it is impossible to go to the bath for some time, engage in heavy sports, rub eyes. I understand it, it is advisable to walk in sunglasses to get less dust. Sleep on the back (need).

    Laser view correction - contraindications

    For many decades, scientists were looking for a safe and effective way to restore visual acuteness, and they finally became a laser correction, which, acting on the refracting optical medium inside the eye (cornea), changes its form. At the same time, normal focusing on the retina is restored - in the place where it should be in a person with healthy vision.

    Restoration of sight after super laury

    Basic methods of view correction

    Several modern vision correction techniques with laser equipment. Tell them briefly.

    FRK (photoforephractive kerattectomy). This technique is the first of the emerging laser techniques. Part of the cornea dosed is evaporated with a cold (excimer) laser, managed by a computer program. The surface of the cornea is restored in 1-3 days, a new optical curvature appears. The recovery process is very unpleasant. In addition, if both eyes are subject to both eyes, the second will be operated only when the rehabilitation of the first will end.

    Lasik (Lasik) - Laser Keratomy. The corneal flap is separated, rejuvenated, after which its inner layers "smoothed" with a laser according to the computer program. Then the flap of the cornea goes back to its place and starts to grow already in the first minutes after the operation. Vision adjustment can be carried out on both eyes in one day, and the recovery period does not cause a patient of discomfort and continues about a day. Complications after the operation directly depend on the sterility of the operating and qualifications of the eye surgeon. Another operation method is possible if the corneal thickness is not quite sufficient for Lasik.

    There is another variety of Lasik - this is Laser Epitheliale Keratumileusis. With this operation, the flap is not a cornea, but only its epithelial layer. This means that the deep layers of the cornea remain intact, the risk of complications decreases.

    Each of the described methods is used strictly individually, according to indications.

    Preparation and operation

    P Supports to operation will need according to the directions of the doctor. But the general rules are as follows.

  • Hard lenses need to be stopped to wear 2 weeks before the operation, soft - in one week, since the shape of the cornea changes under their impact, and it should come to normal.
  • 48 hours before surgery, it is necessary to abandon alcohol, and in 24 hours - from cosmetics. On the day of operation it is recommended to wash your head, because this can not be done 2-3 days after the operation. Refuse to be perfumed and alcohol-containing facial care products, do not wear clothes with a small pile (mohair, woolen).
  • Blood tests can be assigned: common, on HIV, RW, hepatitis B and C.

    After instilcing in the eye anesthetic Surigue inserts the eyelid and programms the laser. The tool mounted on the eye separates the flap of the cornea and takes it to the side (unpleasant or painful sensations will not). It is necessary to look at the red light and not to move the eye: the beam turns off if the eye begins to move, and the operation will last longer than the scheduled time. The impact of the laser lasts only 10 minutes, after which you can relax, closing your eyes. The doctor will conduct a test inspection and drifts drops. It happens that a patient has a protective contact lens after surgery. After a couple of hours, his eyesight will begin to recover, and you can go home, preferably in someone else accompaniment.

    In addition to the ban wash your head and wash, visit the sauna and pool, it is impossible to be in bright light, use cosmetics, drink alcohol. Eyes should not have the effect of too cold or superheated air. If an unusual feeling in the eyes appeared, impaired impaired - you need to immediately contact the clinic.

    The doctor will tell you what to do after the operation, because its success depends not only on the skill of the surgeon, but also from the adequate behavior of the patient. A month later, you can conduct a familiar lifestyle.

  • When choosing a place where the operation will be carried out, it is worth paying attention to how the medical institutions are equipped, as far as doctors are, and be sure to learn about the reviews of those who have been operated on here.

    Types of surgical interventions

    Among the types of surgical intervention in the restoration of vision, it is possible to allocate basic, these are laser treatment, such species as scleroplastic and vicrectomy. All operations have their own features and cautions, always the final decision remains for a qualified surgeon.

    • Treatment with a laser is used to remove the surface layer of the cornea. For this, the Lasik method is used, as well as this method as a FRK operation. In rare cases, it is resorted to intervention when he is strongly rising. Glaucoma may disappear only at a certain time, symptoms may resume, therefore, for the treatment of more serious diseases, other methods are required.
    • Scleroplasty aims to secure the upper layers of the eyeball, which allows to eliminate. This method is also well spent and refers to simple interventions. It does not carry any serious consequences, the patient is operated under local anesthesia.
    • Vitrectomy is a complex type of operations, which is carried out in outpatient conditions, and takes a fairly long period, about three hours, in the absence of complications. During the process, the surgeon removes the fabrics affected by the disease, destructive fiber fibers, and in particularly severe cases, the vitreous body is completely removed. As a replacement, a special liquid or silicone filling is used.

    Read more about FRK operations read.

    This kind is quite well spent, so enjoys great popularity. Here, the operation passes the method of an excimer laser, it is successful in most cases successfully, and the person returns lost vision without any damage to health. Among the readings, there are several indicators:

    • If the lens is observed.
    • On the face detachment of the retina.
    • The structure of the vitreous body has changed.
    • The retinal vessels have traces of defeat, most often associated with diabetes.

    Laser eye correction
