What Causes Dry Eyes After A Cataract Surgery?

default
Posted on Tue, 14 Nov 2017
Question: I am a 65 year old female. I recently had cataract surgery. Ever since then I have had bothersome symptoms of dry eye. My opthamologist told me I had dry eyes. I have been using eye drops that myy dr. recommended but they make my eyes sting for a long period of time. I've tried Blink & Refresh Tears & Refresh Optive Advanced. Any suggestions on what to use? I have an appointment wit my optometrist next month. What do I do until then?
