3.Your eye may water.

5.Avoid rubbing or pressing on your eye.
6.You may need to wear an eye pad for protection at night while your eye is healing.
7.Be sure to follow all directions for medications, such as eye drops.
8.Avoid vigorous activity for some weeks following surgery.
9.Obey all instructions on head positioning.
