What is the best care method during recovery after eye surgery?

I would like to ask those considering eye surgery: I am curious about what kind of care was helpful during the recovery period. In particular, what methods did you use to alleviate swelling or pain? The time required to return to daily life after surgery is also important information. If anyone has already gone through this, I would be very grateful if you could share any useful tips or precautions. It would be a great help to me as well!
