# Computer use after brow lift surgery

Computer use after brow lift surgery is usually possible within several days, but swelling, tightness, and fatigue can make screens tiring at first.

## Starting gently with screens

Once pain is manageable and you can open your eyes comfortably, short computer sessions are often fine. Increase time slowly.

- Begin with brief periods of screen work, then build up as comfort allows
- Use lubricating drops if your eyes feel dry or gritty
- Follow the 20-20-20 rule to rest your eyes regularly
- Increase font size and adjust brightness to reduce effort
- Stop if headaches or brow tightness worsen

## Supporting healing while working

Good desk habits help your forehead and eyes recover while you return to normal tasks. Simple adjustments reduce strain.

- Keep the monitor slightly below eye level to avoid lifting the brows
- Avoid strong air conditioning blowing directly at your face
- Keep glasses lenses clean for clear, comfortable vision
- Take frequent breaks from intense close work in the first weeks
- Mention ongoing strain or heaviness at your follow-up appointment
