1. Alternate between ice and heat
In the early postoperative period, it is recommended to apply ice for 15-20 minutes at intervals of 2-3 hours to help reduce vascular permeability and relieve swelling. After three days, it can be changed to a hot compress to promote local blood circulation and accelerate the reduction of swelling.
2. Keep your eyes clean
Follow your doctor's instructions and clean your eyes regularly with saline or eye drops to avoid infection. Cleanse gently and avoid excessive tugging on the eye area**.
3. Eat reasonably and get enough rest
Excessive salt intake should be avoided for a week after surgery to reduce edema. At the same time, ensure adequate sleep and avoid staying up late and using your eyes for a long time to reduce eye fatigue.
Fourth, correct and standardized medication
Proper use of eye ointment and antibiotics as recommended by your doctor can help prevent infection and promote wound healing. When applying eye ointment, keep your hands clean to avoid bacterial contamination.
5. Exercise moderately
Light exercise, such as walking, can be done in the early postoperative period to help promote blood circulation. But avoid strenuous exercise to avoid worsening eye swelling.
6. Regular follow-up
Regular follow-up visits will be required after the surgery, and the doctor will adjust the plan according to the swelling. If you have any discomfort or concerns, you should report them to your doctor in time so that they can be dealt with in a timely manner.
