If you’ve had injections, then we’d recommend wearing spectacles/glasses for the first couple of days, just to avoid any pulling on the eyelid which would be required for contact lens insertion and removal.

If you have had minor surgery, then it is likely to be a few more days, probably until stitches are removed. However, it does depend on the nature of your chalazion. This is something that you’d discuss fully in consultation prior to treatment.
