irritation.

Don’t Stress Your Eyes

Don’t use Computers, laptops, and TV for watching favorite drama serials
for a week after surgery. Don’t read books it can stress your eyes and your
eyes may cause irritation and swelling.

Getting a Good Night Sleep

weights or sports, etc.

Use Vegetables in Diet

If you are using more proteins and more fats in your daily diet in results
the quantity of sodium chloride is increased than potassium chloride in your
body. we should take a balanced diet for balancing sodium chloride and
potassium chloride quantity in our body.

Potassium helps the kidney and liver function properly. Geen vegetables
have more potassium so therefore, we should use more vegetables after eyelid
surgery to heal eyelids healing.

Don’t Use Alcohol

If you are a regular user of alcohol then please cut down on it. because
alcohol damages the kidney and liver badly. If your kidney does not work
properly then swelling could be very long.

your sugar level in the blood. Due to increase sugar levels, your wounds do
not heal and swelling will not remove.
