How To Prevent Hay Fever After Upper Eyelid Surgery (Weepy Eyes/redness)

What to say for Hay fever related 2 UPPER eyelid surgery (& eyelid surgery in general)? Before & after surgery. How many days I should stay inside/indoors? This all because of red,little itchy, weepy eyes. Eye drop medication? Or other drugs which can help? What about my own drugs (typical hay fever drops for example)? What's left to say for other weather conditions releated 2 eyelid surgery (rain,wind,snow)? Wearing a cap could do any harm?
