Normally this surgery takes less than two hours, depending on the amount of tissue being removed. Your eyes will cover with bandages and may be lubricated and covered with bandages after surgery. Oral medications will help with pain and discomfort. Stitches are removed about a week after surgery.
Pain is usually minimal. You may be given mild pain reliever, such as acetaminophen. But remember don’t use aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others), other NSAIDs and herbal supplements that may increase bleeding. Stitches will be removed in three or four days.
