Opinion on gash on bridge of nose from accident & how to prevent scarring?

Bon00
I had an accident yesterday with a heavy window landing on bridge of nose and causing gash. ER treated it with dermabond as I did not want them doing stitches. I want to prevent scarring, is there something else I can do?They just said not to get it wet for 24 hrs and it will come off in like 3-5 days, use suncreen and all cuts will have a scar. It looks to me like it will leave scar and would like to try to not have scar between my eyes, not sure if I should do something else now. Thank you.
