If there is blood scab or secretion on the wound, it can be wiped with sterile saline or medical alcohol.

2. Prevention and treatment of surgical wound bleeding, congestion or hematoma. If the small blood vessels are injured or the bleeding is not completely stopped during the operation, the eyes will be impacted by the outside world after the operation, and strenuous exercise or emotional change will cause bleeding, congestion or hematoma. In order to prevent the occurrence of the above complications, local wounds can be bandaged with pressure or cold compress with ice packs, but the pressure should not be too high to avoid eye damage.

There should be a quiet and comfortable environment to recuperate after operation. Indoor air should be fresh and circulated, and maintain a certain temperature. Increase protein's intake in diet, and eat more fruits and fresh vegetables. Don't watch TV or newspaper after operation 1 week, and it is best to lie on your back (raise your pillow) in bed to avoid eye fatigue or head down to aggravate the swelling of the wound.

There will be some pain in the wound on the day of operation, but it will gradually ease with time. Patients should not rush to take painkillers, because aspirin drugs will aggravate wound bleeding.
