What should I be careful about after revision eye surgery?

Now that I have decided to have revision eye surgery, I am very concerned about post-operative care. I am wondering if I can return to my daily life immediately after the surgery, or if there are any behaviors I should avoid. In particular, I would like to hear from those who have actually undergone the procedure about how long swelling or pain lasted and how they managed their condition until it improved. It would also be a great help if you could share any precautions to take before and after the surgery, or any helpful tips.
