Generally speaking, you should not let the water into your eyes, or it can be harm to your eyes and in some cases, it can lead to eye infection. Also, for after the surgery, your eyes will become sensitive and fragile. You should be careful about the infection and even the injury in your eyes. For example, you can just wear the patch to protect your eyes. Besides, you should not watch TV or computer in the first week, and also should be careful when you have shower. Also, you should not allow situations in which you are vulnerable to being hit in the face or the eye. Anyway, just follow the things the doctor has told you.
