“What eye drops do you use after eye surgery?”

Your ophthalmologist and their staff will provide you all of the information concerning the "do's" and "do not's" before and after your surgery is completed. Follow all directions precisely and keep every post-op appointment. Your eye drops that you will use must also be followed exactly as prescribed concerning how many times a day to use them, how many drops to use, and how long these drops should be used for. The 3 primary eye drops may include an antibiotic, an anti-inflammatory drop which can be included as an antibiotic-steroid drop, and artificial tears may also be prescribed. If you have glaucoma or your eye pressures went up during or after the surgery, glaucoma eye drops may also be prescribed. Please be sure to know exactly what you should do and ask your eye doctor and staff any and all questions in order to have a successful outcome. Good luck and best wishes.
