# Can I exercise after conjunctival naevus removal surgery?

Exercise after conjunctival naevus removal surgery should restart gently, as straining too soon can increase redness, irritation, and risk of bleeding.

## Gentle activity in the early days

Light movement supports overall health but must not disturb the healing eye surface. Pay close attention to any pulling or throbbing sensations.

- Short walks are usually safe within a day or two
- Avoid heavy lifting, bending, and high-intensity exercise initially
- Do not rub the eye if it feels itchy or watery
- Stop activity immediately if pain or vision changes increase
- Follow your clinician's personalised restrictions carefully

## Building back to normal exercise

More vigorous sport can resume once redness and tenderness have largely settled and your clinician is happy with healing.

- Discuss gym work, running, and classes at follow-up visits
- Delay contact sports or activities with eye injury risk until fully cleared
- Increase intensity over several sessions rather than suddenly
- Consider protective eyewear in windy or dusty environments
- Seek review if exercise leads to persistent pain, redness, or blurred vision
