How long does it take to recover from an eye opening

The human eye is divided into the inner and outer corners of the eye. The current eye opening surgery is more often used to open the inner corner of the eye, and the outer corner of the eye is less effective and usually not used in this way. After performing an eye opening surgery, it will generally go through a period of hyperplastic reaction, a fading period, until it finally fades away. The inner corner of the eye is prone to scar hyperplasia, which can be more pronounced especially when the eye opening surgery is less effective in handling tension. The wound healing time after eye opening surgery is usually 7 days, and the stitches can be removed 6-7 days after surgery. Within this stage, candidates need to use sterile cotton swabs to properly wipe the secretions from the wound to avoid its influence on the wound recovery, and erythromycin ointment can also be used when there is local redness to try to avoid inflammatory reactions. The recovery time of the scar is about 1-1.5 months. The proliferative scar will gradually aggravate, especially in the inner canthus, which mostly shows hardening, redness, and sometimes slight protrusion of the surface, and the candidate can use anti-scar medication continuously. In general, the scar will enter a stable period and return to normal in about 3-6 months after surgery. During the recovery period, candidates should not be impatient and need to listen to the doctor’s advice to properly treat the wound.
