5.If you have facial discomfort, coughing, sneezing, etc., you should not touch it with your hands, and do not turn your eyes or move your head position during the operation, so as not to affect the intraoperative positioning. At this point, you can communicate loudly with your doctor, who can pause the surgery or solve the problem for the patient.

Do I need to postpone surgery if I am unwell?

When a person has a fever or a severe cold, the eyes are congested with inflammation, and the immunity is low (the same is true for girls during holidays and pregnancy), and the body's repair ability is reduced, which may have an impact on the operation.

Although they are not contraindications to myopia surgery, there is no particular urgent reason for reoperation at a later date.

Fixation training can be done at home before surgery.

Fixation training can help patients better cooperate with the procedure during surgery.

How to do it: Lie flat on the bed, cover your left eye with your left hand (the left eye is open), place your right index finger in front of your right eye, and stare for 30 seconds. Alternate between the two eyes, starting three days before the operation, and repeat the training two or three times a day. With these preparations, you can easily and smoothly complete the surgery and welcome the high-definition vision!
