I am going to have a glaucoma operation and I would like to know how many days I will have to wait before resuming my usual activity.

This answer varies enormously, depending on the type of operation chosen and the activity we are talking about. As a general rule, you are not allowed to get your eye wet with non-sterile water for three weeks after the operation, which is when all your scars should have healed and there is no longer a risk of infection. You must ask your surgeon this question so that you can be given a personalised answer.
