I've just come back from a minor eye op.
For a while I've had a lump in the corner of my eyelid the size of a pea. After the hassle with the Clockwork Orange lid clamps and some anaesthetic that didn't quite work they managed to excise it. If anyone wants to see what they didn't manage to scoop out with those dinky little curettage spoons and has since oozed out onto the dressing do, please, let me know.

I asked for a black dressing - looking like a pirate would be no small comfort - but, alas, the NHS did not oblige.

I'd be tempted, but there's no need.
Eyelids apparently heal very, very quickly and I'll be taking off the patch in a few hours.

they do indeed
but eyes can occasionally dry out a bit after surgery and, believe me, sunlight stings like fuck. wouldn't be without my eyepatch!
