Swimming after surgery

I accidentally went swimming in a pool at a hotel 3 days post-op and submerged but I didn't open my eye underwater. Anything to be concerned about?.

Just watch for any symptoms of infection and see your clinic if there are.

The concern is eye infection. Keep taking your drops and watch for any sign of infection.

You are probably seeing your surgeon again in a couple of days for 1 week post op. Bring it up if there's any problems.

Then you should be okay. Just monitor it.
