What precautions should be taken during the initial recovery phase after eye surgery?

I have a question for those considering eye surgery. I am curious about the most important precautions to take when starting the initial recovery phase. In particular, I would appreciate it if you could share which care methods were effective for pain relief and reducing swelling, as well as any additional products you could recommend. Furthermore, I would be grateful if you could share any activities or foods to avoid during the recovery period, or any personal experiences that may have been helpful.
