What are the key points you shouldn't miss in post-eye surgery care?

I have a question for those considering eye surgery. Based on your actual experience, I am curious to know what you considered most important during the recovery process. In particular, regarding returning to daily life, I would appreciate it if you could share any methods to alleviate pain and swelling, or any specific precautions you took. Since I am looking forward to the post-operative changes, it would be great if you could also share useful information or tips regarding the recovery process.
