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.
