Most patients can gradually return to normal activities within 2 to 4 weeks after glaucoma surgery. Light tasks like reading or using a computer can usually be resumed earlier, but driving should wait until the doctor confirms your vision is stable. Heavy exercise, swimming, or lifting weights should be avoided for a few weeks to prevent strain on the healing eye. With proper recovery, patients usually return to their daily routines safely.
