Will shutting eyes too hard in a yawn or a sneeze cause any damage to a double eyelid suture (non-incisional method) one month into the recovery? When I furrow my brow and close my eyes tightly there is a faint stinging sensation which I presume is from the double eyelid folds squeezing against each other. Is closing eyes tightly something to avoid at this juncture?
