Hey everyone, I had my pre-op yesterday (exciting!) and I was told that after my surgery I’m not allowed to wear my glasses for 4 months! I only need them for driving to and from work (about half an hour a day in total) and I was wondering if anyone knew a way around this? I’ve bought the lightest glasses possible and I was thinking I could put a layer of sponge or something on the bridge of my nose for the glasses to sit on so that it wouldn’t put too much pressure on my lovely new nose. Do you think this would be ok? I obviously don’t want to ruin it after spending all that money on it.
Thanks girls 🙂

U can buy daily contact lenses that u can just throw away everyday there easy to wear and once uv got a new nose u might prefer them instead of glasses. I use both but I’m having my rhino done soon n will def just use contacts xx

Hi Emily I wouldn’t risk putting glasses on after rhino your nose is gonna be swollen and delicate after surgery and it can take months for it to heal and to get strong again esp if your having open rhino. I’m nearly a year post op and I still hardly put any pressure on my nose x

Hi girls, I’ve heard really lite glasses that can be taped up so they put no pressure on your nose is an option – but who wants to look like Jack Duckworth hey?!! x

I did think about contacts but I wouldn’t be able to wear them at work so it would mean putting them in to drive to work then taking them out when I got there then putting them in again to go home. I tried out my sponge idea and I literally can’t feel any pressure on my nose as I don’t push the glasses down on my nose properly I just use the sponge/foam as something for the glasses to sit on. It makes me look like a right knob but I don’t know what else to do 🙁
