  • How long do I have to use the antibiotic eye drops after cataract surgery?


    Question:

    I had cataract surgery two weeks ago. How long do I have to use the antibiotic eye drops after cataract surgery?


    Answer:

    Your surgeon should give you instructions on this but two weeks is often enough if there is no sign of infection. Please have your doctor check or call him/her for instructions.
