That eye cover always reminds me of the film "The Fly".
I had similar instructions to yours. Take it easy, no heavy lifting. The one exception was not to bend over "deeply" for the first day or two - that is, no bending to pick up things from the floor.
Yes, I had that too, I think. Either that, or I read it on the internet and decided on my own not to bend over to pick things up. I've forgotten. I was so concerned/terrified about the possibility of retinal detachment (which runs in my family), that I pretty much just sat in my easy chair for the first week. I did read somewhere (doctor's instructions? internet?) that is was OK to tie my shoes. But still, I didn't bend over to do that; I bent my leg so that I could lift my foot up onto the sofa seat while sitting there, and tied my shoes in that position without bending over.
