Make sure you hold pressure over the tear ducts in the nasal portion of the eyelids after you put in the drops for at least one minute to keep it from getting as much into the bloodstream. Hopefully within a week or so of being off the drops it will return to pre-surgery levels.

Start with using artificial tears every hour and see if this helps. If there no scratchiness or foreign body sensation then it may just be a freckle on the iris that you are seeing and not ash. If you do the tears and it still feels scratchy then you may need to see your local eye doctor for a check.
How can you prevent cataracts from getting worse?
Unfortunately there are no eye drops or supplements that prevent the formation of cataracts. Vitamin C in a few studies has shown to slow down progression but it's not conclusive. READ MORE
Unfortunately there are no eye drops or supplements that prevent the formation of cataracts. Vitamin C in a few studies has shown to slow down progression but it's not conclusive. Eye drops such as Can-C and antioxidant drops have not been proven to work either. Good uv-protecting sunglasses are important though.
