Question:
One month after cataract surgery, why do I feel a scratchy sensation in my eyelid?
Answer:
It is not uncommon to feel a bit of scratchiness after cataract surgery. Your eye might feel a bit dry, and you may have sensitivity to the post-surgical drops or the sutures if they were used to seal the incision. Please discuss this and any other symptoms with your surgeon.
