The nurse told me it was o.k. to wear sunglassss when I went to my follow up appointment 5 days post op. Perhaps this was fine while I had my nose splint on, however, I wore sunglasses for a good 2 hours a day after my splint was removed and it left indents. It's been a few hours and I'm getting a little nervous. From what I've read I should not have worn them. What can I do if anything to correct the indents? Have I done permanent damage?
