Emma Laser Eye surgeryThe way I was dealt by Dr Laginaf was nothing short of outstanding. She went above and beyond and I would like to thank Dr Laginaf for the attention to detail.
Suhail VitrectomyGreat experience with Dr Chien Wong and his team. I needed to have three separate operations to repair a detached retina and poor NHS interventions. Amazing care and treatment and 2 years later still very grateful for their efforts.

Eyelid Cysts FAQ's
View knowledge baseWhat can I expect during the recovery period after eyelid cyst surgery?
Swelling and bruising are normal following eyelid surgery and should start to settle 1-2 weeks after surgery. In some people, it can take longer to settle. We recommend you use ice packs for the first 10 days following eyelid surgery. Frozen peas placed in a small plastic bag and covered in a thin cloth can be an effective ice pack. This can then be gently placed on the wound up to 6 times a day, without rubbing or placing any pressure on the wound.
How should I sleep after eyelid cyst removal surgery?
A: For the first 7 days after surgery, sleeping semi-upright with several pillows placed underneath your head will help the swelling to settle. You will be given eye shields to cover your eyes at night to protect the wounds while you are sleeping.
When can I resume exercise and other activities?
Anything more than gentle exercise (like walking) should be avoided for at least 2 weeks following surgery. Swimming should be avoided for at least 6 weeks post-operatively. Make-up can be worn again 3-4 weeks after surgery. As the eyelid wounds heal, they may become “itchy” – it is important not to rub your eyes or eyelids following surgery. Contact lens wear should also be avoided for the first 2 weeks after surgery.
When can I return to work after eyelid cyst surgery?
Recovery time varies, but we advise you to rest for the first few days after surgery. Working from home on a computer should be fine after 2 days, but it is important to keep your eyes well-lubricated with the eyedrops that you have been given. Most patients who have undergone surgery for benign eyelid cysts can return to work after 1-2 days but following the procedure, it is advisable to take 2 weeks off work.
