What can I do to prepare for oculoplastic surgery?
If you smoke or use any form of nicotine, stop now. Try to eat a well-balanced diet, drink plenty of water, get lots of sleep and exercise regularly. You could also consider taking a multi-vitamin supplement. Three weeks before surgery, stop all vitamin E, aspirin, ibuprofen and other over-the-counter blood thinners. If you use prescription medicines, advise your Optegra consultant as soon as possible, so that they can give you the best advice in good time for your treatment.
