- No eye patch is required. There may however be some wateriness
or even bloody tears the day of surgery. These should be wiped away with a
moist clean cotton ball, washcloth or piece of Gauze.

acceptable to use. Please avoid aspirin (ASA).

worsen after the 2nd to 3rd post-operative day,
please call your doctor.

post-operative visit.
