Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Wang Shuai
Postoperative注意事项 for strabismus surgery include:
1. Infection prevention and medication: Follow the doctor's instructions regarding medication after surgery. Use antibiotic eye drops or ointment to prevent infection, and steroid eye drops may be needed to reduce inflammatory reactions. Pay attention to proper administration methods and dosages of medications, and avoid excessive use of steroid drugs.
2. Eye care: Minimize eye movement for at least two weeks after surgery. Avoid rubbing the eyes to prevent suture loosening. Keep the eyes dry and clean; avoid getting water in the eyes during face washing, hair washing, or showering.
3. Rest and follow-up visits: Get adequate rest after surgery and avoid eye strain. Attend follow-up appointments as instructed so the doctor can monitor wound healing and ensure proper realignment of the eyes.
4. Diet and physical activity: Maintain a light and easily digestible diet after surgery, avoiding spicy and irritating foods. Follow medical advice regarding physical activities—strenuous exercise may need to be avoided in certain cases.
