How long does the recovery period take after eye surgery?

I am considering eye surgery and have questions about the recovery period. I would like to hear from those with experience regarding how long it takes to return to daily life after surgery and what precautions I should take. In particular, I would like to know how long swelling or pain lasts. If you have undergone eye surgery at an ophthalmology or plastic surgery clinic, I would be grateful if you could share detailed information!
