Most patients are back to light activity and easy walks within a day or two. Many return to gentle routines like golf or yoga within about a week, once the eye has settled.

Dr. Mudgil gives every patient a clear, personal go-ahead at your follow-up, so check with him before returning to anything vigorous.
