The Helpful Aspects

I recently heard about a patient who felt that she was so sensitive to eye drops that she refused to take any, even after she had cataract surgery. Not only did she have a surgery that required post-operative drops, but she had a post-operative issue that necessitated more eye drops. Still, she felt she was too sensitive to take drops. When I heard this story, I was very thankful that, in my practice, we try to minimize post-operative eye drops as much as possible. The patients who do not take eye drops after surgery, even with issues, can be protected by our technique to a greater extent than if we relied on eye drops.
