That will depend on the where the patient works and on the complexity of each particular case (if surgery was on one or both eyes, surgical history, how many muscles were operated on, the patient’s age…) but in general, postoperative discomfort is mild and the sutures used dissolve, so after approximately 15 days, the patient will be able to gradually return to their normal working routine. It will take at least 1 month for the redness and irritation to completely subside.
