# Can I drive after entropion surgery?

Driving after entropion surgery is usually possible once vision is clear and the eye feels comfortable and safe.

## First days and safety checks

You must not drive home immediately after surgery, as the eye is sore and vision blurred. Wait until your surgeon confirms that driving is safe.

- Arrange transport home on the day of surgery
- Expect some swelling, watering, and light sensitivity at first
- A follow-up visit usually checks comfort and vision
- Only drive when you can see clearly and feel confident
- Avoid long journeys in the first few days back

## Night driving and ongoing comfort

Night driving may feel more challenging while the eyelid and eye surface heal. Extra care helps you feel secure.

- Test short daytime trips before driving at night
- Use lubricating drops before journeys to reduce dryness
- Reduce glare with a clean windscreen and suitable lenses
- Stop driving and seek help if vision becomes suddenly blurred
- Follow your surgeon's personalised advice above all
