How long does it take to heal from an eye surgery?
Peace ☮♥♫ asked:
My cousin is getting eye surgery over the summer, to fix her left eye because she cannot blink it at all. So if they are going to fix the muscle of it, how long will she take to heal and she can actually go back to school again? Her school ends the end of May and starts again in the beginning of August. Do you think the doctor will make her go back later? Thank you so much!

Muscle surgeries generally have very short healing times, and are often fine within a week to a few months, depending on the size/type of muscle. For an eyelid muscle, I don’t think it’ll be too long of a healing time.
If she’s having any actual EYE surgery, such as a vitrectomy, cataract removal, or corneal transplant, that takes longer. I’ve had all three - I’m out of any sports for a year, but other than that I’m back to my normal self (except for the whole partial blindness thing).
