# Computer use after 3 snip procedure surgery

Computer use after a three snip procedure is usually possible within a day or two, although tearing or dryness may temporarily worsen strain.

## Starting gently with screens

Once discomfort is mild and vision reasonably clear, short computer sessions are often fine. Increase time gradually.

- Begin with brief periods of screen work, then build up as comfort allows
- Use lubricating drops before and during screen use
- Follow the 20-20-20 rule to rest your eyes regularly
- Increase font size and adjust brightness to reduce effort
- Pause if the eye becomes sore or very watery

## Protecting the inner eyelid while working

Good habits help the incision heal while you return to normal tasks. Small adjustments can make a big difference.

- Avoid rubbing the inner corner if it feels itchy
- Keep your workstation free from dust and strong air currents
- Maintain any lid hygiene routine recommended by your clinician
- Clean glasses regularly for clear, comfortable vision
- Mention ongoing strain or watering at follow-up
