I had SMILE surgery done 15 days ago and my job requires me to stare at screens all day. Will using the computer or watching TV for long hours mess with my healing or the final results of the surgery?

After the surgery, prioritize rest and avoid straining your vision. This means refraining from using screens, such as TVs, laptops, computers, and phones, for the first 24 hours to prevent worsening dryness in the eyes.

My 4-year-old has been having a squint occasionally, like 3-4 times a day but not constantly. Is surgery the only option or are there other treatments we can try since he's still so young? Really worried about putting him through surgery at this age. What would you recommend?

Question

I've had floaters for about a year now and they're really bothering me, especially when I'm trying to work on my laptop. Since I've had cataract surgery in both eyes, could that be making the floaters worse or causing these vision issues
