| You need to take eye drops and wear the eye shields during the nighttime for 5 days. Healing is relatively fast, but you may want to take a few days off after the surgery. Be aware that :
You may experience a mild burning or sensation for a few hours after surgery. Do not rub your eye(s). Your doctor can prescribe a painkiller, if necessary, to ease the discomfort.
Your vision probably will be blurry the day of surgery, but it will improve considerably by the next day when you return for a follow-up exam.
If you experience aggravating or unusual side effects, report them to your doctor immediately.
Do not drive until your vision has improved enough to safely do so. Avoid swimming, hot tubs and whirlpools for two weeks after surgery.
