While you’re recovering:
• You should wear sunglasses while outdoors to protect your eyes from sunlight.
• You shouldn’t use make-up until the doctor allows it.
• Strenuous efforts or activities that could increase eye pressure are out of the question. This includes bending over or lifting heavy objects for at least a week or so.
• You should try to sleep on your back. Avoid sleeping on the side of your healing eye!
• You will be able to resume normal activities within a few days, including driving.
• You could return to work within 2 to 5 days if you feel comfortable with your vision.
