Brivex is for reducing pressure in the eye.
Assuming the surgery went well, 30% of patients have increase in pressure after cataract surgery, and around 20% have a low pressure after cataract surgery.
If your father was already in Brivex, it is recommended to continue the drop on the day of Surgery too.
Next Steps
Review with the surgeon tomorrow.
