A: You may feel mild discomfort for a few days, which you can alleviate with a pain reliever. Swelling/bruising varies per individual case, with bruising healing in seven to ten days post-surgery. Other recovery symptoms include:

• Red/bumpy incision
• Blurred vision
• Light sensitivity
• Excess tearing or dryness
•  Tired eyes

Tips to promote a healthy recovery:

• Avoid makeup application until one week post-surgery.
• Do not wear contact lenses for a week post-surgery.
• Wear dark sunglasses for eye protection for the first few weeks.
