Vitrectomy surgery; how do you clean crusty drainage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Eyelid discharge: After any kind of eye surgery can be removed by using a moist tissue or cotton pad. Use this to gently wipe away the crusting from the lids. If the crusting is hard, leave the moist compresses on your eyes for awhile. This will help to soften it up.
