The nurses advice is not something that is "true or false", it is a recommendation made out of caution and with your best interests in mind. It isn't possible for anyone to know exactly how much it would take to cause you additional problems. The things you have been advised against may cause further problem, or they may not. This advise is an educated guess and typical advice for this situation. I think in this case I would heed the advice. If you wonder what your ophthalmologist or doctor would say about it then why not ask them?
