Brief Answer:
Tearing after surgery in the initial period is normal no need to be worried

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to Health care Magic.


I am Dr. DADAPEER K, an Ophthalmologist and I will be answering your question.
I reviewed your history and the previous question you had asked to me on Health Care Magic.

Tearing from the eye is usually seen in the post operative period because of inflammation caused by the surgery.
Once the wound heals this will stop and this usually takes 3-4 weeks.

Hence no need to be worried as of now, do continue the eye drops and other medications as advised by your doctor.

If there are symptoms like pain, decrease in vision, redness of the eye you need to consult your doctor otherwise no need to be worried.


Hope this information is helpful to you.
Do write back to me for further questions.

Thank you
With regards
