Computer use after conjunctival naevus removal surgery is usually possible within a day or two, though the eye may feel scratchy, watery, or light sensitive at first.
Starting gently with screens
Once discomfort is mild and vision clear enough, short computer sessions are often fine. Build up time gradually.
- Begin with brief periods of screen work, then increase as comfort allows
- Use lubricating drops before and during computer use
- Follow the 20-20-20 rule to rest your eyes regularly
- Adjust brightness and enlarge text to reduce effort
- Pause if the eye becomes very sore or watery
Supporting the healing surface
Good habits help the conjunctiva repair smoothly while you resume normal tasks.
- Avoid rubbing the eye even if it feels itchy
- Keep your workstation free from dust and strong air currents
- Wear sunglasses outdoors on bright days
- Discuss ongoing strain or blur at your follow-up appointment
- Continue prescribed drops exactly as instructed
