Redness in eye after glaucoma surgery
It's been 3 months since my father had undergone glaucoma surgery. He also had dry eyes for which the doctor has given him refresh tears but he hasn't used it yet.
Do we need to be worried about the redness? He doesn't have any problem with his vision after redness. It started today.
