Exercise after a three snip procedure should restart gradually so the inner eyelid can heal safely.
Gentle activity in the early days
Light movement helps your general wellbeing, but the eye area needs protection from strain and sweat. Pay attention to any discomfort.
- Short, gentle walks are usually safe within a day or two
- Avoid heavy lifting, bending, or high-intensity exercise at first
- Keep sweat away from the eye and dab your forehead gently
- Do not rub the inner corner if it feels itchy or tight
- Stop immediately if pain or throbbing increases
Building back to normal exercise
More vigorous sport can resume once soreness and redness have largely settled. Taking things slowly reduces the risk of bleeding or reopening the wound.
- Discuss gym work, running, and cycling at your follow-up visit
- Delay contact sports or activities with eye injury risk until cleared
- Increase intensity over several sessions rather than all at once
- Consider protective eyewear if there is a chance of impact
- Seek review if exercise triggers persistent redness or blurred vision
