How long does the recovery period take after eye surgery?

I am considering eye surgery and am wondering how long the recovery period takes. In particular, I would like to know how long swelling or pain around the eyes typically lasts. Also, what should I pay attention to in order to return to my normal daily life? I would be very grateful for any advice or tips from those who have undergone the surgery. I would also like to know about foods or lifestyle habits that can aid in recovery.
