Precautions After Eye Surgery
- For 4 weeks after surgery, avoid alcohol, smoking, swimming, massages, and public baths/saunas. Take prescribed medications consistently for about 5 days.
- On the day of surgery and the following day, avoid straining your eyes, bending your head forward, or rising suddenly from a lying position. (If eye pressure rises, bleeding may occur even if the surgical site has already clotted.)
- If bleeding occurs from the eye, place a clean tissue or gauze over the area and press gently with the palm for 3–5 minutes. Repeat until the bleeding stops. (⚠ Do not rub, as this can cause bruising.)
- When cleaning blood, dab gently with tissue, or clean with water or eye ointment before the blood has dried.
- While sleeping or lying down, keep your head elevated above heart level. (Use pillows or cushions for about 3 days and avoid lying down for extended periods.)
- You may wash your face except for the surgical area. Apply eye ointment thinly using a sterile or clean cotton swab.
- Makeup can be applied after stitch removal, and normal exercise or sauna use is allowed 4 weeks after surgery. (Contact lenses may be worn 2 weeks after surgery.)
<For the first 3 days after surgery>
Cold Compress: Store the pack in the refrigerator and apply repeatedly. (Usually recommended for 3–5 days, 10–20 minutes at a time, as often as possible.)
<After stitch removal>
Warm Compress: Begin the day after stitches are removed, for about 1 week. Use the same method as cold compress but warm the pack by soaking it in lukewarm water. (⚠ Do not heat with a microwave or boiling water, as it may burst.)
