Is it okay my mother have cataract surgery in right eye using USA foldable lens after a year need to go to another cataract surgery on her left eye but im using India foldable lens, is it safe using different lens?

Why isn't dropless cataract surgery more common. It's better for the patient and the eye surgeon.
I recently had cataract surgery done on both eyes. I was NEVER given any drops and was told the medication was put in the eye during my surgery.
I chose a monofocal lens set for distance implanted. No regrets and my sight is just fine. The worst I have experienced is floaters. But, it doesn't impact my vision. It's just a nuisance depending on the lighting in room.
Anyway, thanks for the video and good luck to everyone.

Thank you. I had the most questions about the drops and these were (mostly) answered. Ironically, not all Opthalmologist prescribe the prednisone the same. And none (so far, I've checked) follow the paperwork from the pharmacy on the Bromfenac. The paperwork that comes with the Bromfenac states that it should not be used for longer than 14 days for concerns toward damaging the cornea. Yet this doctor and mine both have me taking it a full month. I so dislike these type discrepancies w/o an explanation (I don't expect it here, but w my doctor). Of course, he doesn't expect me to read the paperwork, ha ha.

So much easier in UK. One bottle of eye drops 3 times a day for three weeks and that is it.

How about those combo eye drops which combine all the 3-in-1? How do you tap off the antibiotic and steroid drops at weeks 2-4 with the combo eye drops.?

I’m 42 years old M I had my cataract surgery 2 days ago (a normal simple cataract)My doctor asked me to use the prednisolon steroid the day of surgery every 1 hour till bed time and day 1 8 times and day 2-12 for 6 times then 4 times. Iam worried because I was using flow mist nasal spray for allergies that is the reason I got early cataract. Can you please suggest about the dosage

It is not easy to get drop in eye. Many times I miss on 1st try. This is cataract post op.
