Leave your eyes undisturbed. Don't rub, don't use cosmetics around your eyes.
Nothing.
Nothing! Remove your contacts for any few weeks if you can. Good luck!
You should avoid getting eyelash extensions or false lashes and be very diligent about cleaning your eyelids and lashes when washing your face. That will decrease the risk of post-op infection.
Your surgeon will give you specific instructions on how to prepare before and what to avoid after surgery.
Normally we tell our patient to stop wearing contact lenses at least a week before surgery ,
