Computer use after gold weight eyelid surgery is usually possible within several days, but the eye can feel dry or heavy, especially during close work.
Starting gently with screens
Once pain is manageable and vision reasonably clear, short computer sessions are often fine. Build up time slowly.
- Begin with brief periods, then extend as comfort allows
- Use lubricating drops or gel regularly during screen use
- Follow the 20-20-20 rule to rest your eyes
- Increase font size and adjust brightness to reduce effort
- Pause if the eyelid feels very heavy or irritated
Supporting the eye surface while working
Because the weight is designed to help blinking and closure, good habits keep the eye moist and comfortable.
- Consciously blink fully during long periods of concentration
- Avoid strong air conditioning or fans blowing at your face
- Keep glasses lenses clean for clear vision
- Discuss ongoing dryness or strain at follow-up visits
- Use any additional moisture chamber goggles or taping as advised at night
