What Causes Soreness And Tears In The Eyes After A Cataract Surgery?
Hi I had cataract surgery in July. Since then my eyes have been red and sore. I have been using drops,steroid and over the counter. Right now I am using xiidra twice a day. If I close my eyes tight there is pain in the outside corner. My eyes are sore but not to bad. At night when in bed my eyes tear. I had a second opinion. She said all was good, and I must have allergies, never had before surgery. I m 66 yrs old and otherwise in good health. Any ideas? Thanks

Hello,
Catarvt surgery usually will not cause soreness of eyes after so much time. The cause should be something else.

Hello,
It doesn't sound like an allergy but cataract surgery usually doesn't cause soreness of the eyes. Maybe you should get another opinion to clear things up.
