Redness in cataract operated eye
My mom felt pain in right eye which was operated for cataract a year ago, since an hour now..when I checked it appeared red with some eye discharge..shall I put the same eye drops suggested to be used for a month after eye operation?Because a couple of months ago when she had similar pain & redness in the same eye, I put the same eye drops for 2-3 days & thereafter she was fine..
Is it something to worry abt?
She cooks food even after cataract for abt 8 months now..shd she refrain from cooking? Is cooking causing the problem?
Shd this eye drops be continued for 7-10days..

No, you should not use the drops without consulting an ophthalmologist.
Please consult an ophthalmologist to arrive at a diagnosis and for proper management.

Pl consult ophthalmologist for further evaluation and treatment. Do not use same eye drops, unless prescribed by ophthalmologist. Pl have fresh consultation.

It's better to consult local ophthalmologist and then start treatment.
