  • Can I take Xiidra after cataract surgery?


    Question:
     Is it safe to take Xiidra for dry eye after cataract surgery?

    Answer:
     There is no restriction against using Xiidra after cataract surgery. But I would not start using it until several weeks after surgery because if symptoms arise such as burning, redness or irritation, it would be difficult to know whether they resulted from Xiidra or the surgery itself.
