Before myopia surgery, these 5 exercises should be done in advance!

"How can I better cooperate with the doctor to perform the operation?"

Just do these 5 exercises in advance~

It mainly includes 5 trainings:

Attention training, non-avoidance training, bright light training, both eyes open training, and eye-opening training.

You can practice lying on a bed to simulate the feeling of being on a myopic operating table.

① Gaze training

Take off your glasses, look straight ahead with both eyes, and train your eyes separately. When training the right eye, cover your left eye with your left hand, extend your right index finger and place it 30 cm in front of your eyes, stare at the tip of your right index finger, hold for 1 minute, and then close your eyes and rest for 1 minute.

② Do not avoid training

Extend the index finger of your right hand and place it 30 cm in front of your eyes, gradually moving it closer to your right eye, making sure that the eye does not move. Do the same with your left eye.

Doing this training well can help us avoid moving our eyes too much when the doctor is performing an operation.

③ Strong light training

Some people may close their eyes during surgery due to the light source, which may result in low cooperation. It is also necessary to do photophobia training before surgery.

You can place a moderate light source, such as a flashlight, 30 cm in front of your eyes, keep both eyes open at the same time, try to stare for 30 seconds, and then close your eyes and rest for 30 seconds.

④ Open your eyes training

During the operation, the other eye will be covered with a cloth, but the covered eye should also remain naturally open.

No matter which eye the surgery is performed on, the other eye must be open. You cannot open one eye and close the other. This practice may cause the eye position to change and affect the surgery.

⑤ Eye support training

During surgery, you may feel uncomfortable due to the opening effect of the eyelid speculum, which may affect the surgery if you close your eyes. It is recommended that you do eye-opening training before surgery.

Use the thumb and index finger of your right hand to open the upper and lower eyelids of your right eye, simulating the use of an eyelid speculum during surgery. Keep both eyes open and allow for natural and slight blinking.

Remember: Do not blink or squeeze your eyes. Hold for 30 seconds, then close your eyes and rest for 30 seconds.
