- When the splint is taken off and the splint is removed, you should refrain from wearing eyeglasses for the next six weeks following surgery. This is to prevent permanent damage following nose surgery.
Once the surgeon has removed the cast after a week of surgery, you’ll be able to wear glasses right away, so long as they don’t cause soreness or pain.
Glasses are worn for one week following the nose surgery prior to when the splint can be removed. Its hard surface could keep any changes from occurring in the shape of the nose.
The removal of the splint patients should not wear sunglasses or glasses, especially frames made of plastic (which will rest completely over the nasal bridge) for the first six weeks. Since the nose is soft and supple, it is possible that the force of glasses could put pressure on the nasal bones that are healing. Therefore, it could alter the nose’s shape.
