Is this going to be an issue the day after surgery?

Question

I am having surgery on a Wednesday. I am planning to work from home Thursday and Friday and return to the office Monday. Is it unreasonable? I work on computer all day. Is this going to be an issue the day after surgery?

Thank you for sharing your question. You are likely to be swollen, tender and have blurred vision for 5-7 days following surgery. Working from home is possible immediately following the procedure, but it might not be easy. I hope this helps.Good luck,

Please follow your surgeon advise to rest and ice the eyes after surgery.  Activity like this right after surgery can cause bleeding and trauma to the tissues.  Do not cause yourself to have problems because you choose not to follow prudent advise not to overdo it after surgery.  Surgery is a huge investment in time, energy and expense.  Don't cause yourself a problem.
