How long after open rhinoplasty can I wear my glasses again?

Thank you for your question. I would say it is safe to wait about a month just to play it safe. Best of luck!Dhaval M. Patel Double Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Hoffman Estates Barrington Oakbrook Chicago

You don't want to put pressure on the bridge of your nose after rhinoplasty for 6 weeks as your  can push the mobile bones inward.  Taping your glasses to your forehead to relieve pressure of the bridge of your nose or wearing contacts can help solve this problem.

In our practice, we asked patients to avoid wearing glasses after  a Rhinoplasty for one month. In many instances, we give the patients their old cast which they can apply across the bridge in the nose and rest their glasses upon it when needed. Additionally, contacts can be worn any time.
