After myopia surgery, some friends may find some water mist in front of their eyes, and they will worry about whether the visual quality will be affected.
So what is the cause of the water mist sensation after surgery?
It is quite common to experience fogging shortly after surgery, as the cornea will experience transient edema after surgery, and in most cases, it will disappear on its own in about 3 days.
Of course, everyone's recovery will be different, so there's no need to worry too much about this situation.
If it is a sudden fog sensation after a few days, it may be an inflammation of the eye, and it is necessary to seek medical treatment in time.
If the fog does not appear until long after surgery, it may be related to the high intraocular pressure and also needs to be checked.
If the fog persists for a long time, it is necessary to pay attention to it and seek medical attention in time.
However, please note that foggy sensation after surgery does not equate to surgical failure.
This is because the cornea is in a state of repair after surgery, and the presence of corneal lenses and corneal flaps causes the upper and lower structures of the cornea to be separated, which may make blurred vision a temporary physiological phenomenon.
Over time, the cornea will repair naturally, the two layers of corneal tissue in the separated state will gradually heal, and the fog will disappear.
The cornea is like a barrier, and the thicker and denser it is, the harder it is to penetrate.
Therefore, the time for the disappearance of water mist after surgery varies from individual to individual, most people will gradually recover in 3-7 days after surgery, and a very small number of people may need 2 or 3 months.
This is related to factors such as the type of surgery, corneal thickness and density, and the individual's metabolism.
In general, a feeling of water mist is normal after surgery, and this stage is the process of gradual corneal repair. Those who have just undergone surgery don't need to worry too much.
After surgery, remember to take the medicine on time, have regular check-ups, and develop good eye habits to ensure the stability of the surgical effect. Flat-topped mountains are femtosecondDeclaration:
