It depends on how your eye has healed and what extent of surgery was required. If you call your doctor with a specific question, he should be able to give a yes or no answer. Ask direct questions (Could I garden? Could I bend? etc).

Yes, I felt a lot of pressure when I would bend over after my surgery, that lasted for months. I learned to squat or sit while doing things to eliminate any problem. It's always better to be more cautious than not when dealing with your vision and potential problems.
