Having all 3 done June 3rd! 1. How long post op until I should wear my glasses again? I have contacts but rarely wear them due to discomfort. Could I wear them just to drive or should I wait completely? 2. I sneeze a lot! How bad will it be if I have to sneeze in the first few days post op? 3. I plan to go back to work 8 days post op.
