2. Please eat a light meal before coming in on the day of your surgery.
3. Please avoid wearing makeup on your face on the day of surgery.

6. For a safe return home after surgery, please bring a guardian with you if possible.
7. When changing clothes after returning home, it's better to wear clothes with buttons down the front rather than T-shirts to avoid injuring your eyes.
