After cataract surgery, how should I address dry eyes?

After cataract surgery, the most important tips are: 1. Remember to instill post-surgery eyedrops consistently and regularly as prescribed. 2. Prevent any 'dirty' or contaminated water from entering the eye (for example, swimming pool water). 3. Avoid dusty or 'smoky' places or wear protective eye-wear if you should need to be exposed to such environments. 4. Avoid rubbing your eyes because you don't want to irritate your healing wound. 5. Try to avoid strenuous exercise in the first week to allow optimum healing of your wound. 6.

Myopia refers to the situation where light rays are focused in front of the retina and spans a spectrum from mild to severe. It can also have several different causes, but most commonly is due to an elongated eyeball. Some kinds of cataract can also cause increasing myopia by themselves. Myopia, by itself, does not necessarily affect the safety of cataract surgery. For experienced cataract surgeons, performing cataract surgery safely (without complications) even in very high myopes is not particularly difficult.
