For Dr. Hagan- swelling behind eye after cataract surgery again

Many thanks for your very helpful comments of March 20.and the web link to
cystoid mecular edema.
I started taking the ACULAR eye drops twice a day but I find  that my eye
becomes rather uncomfortable after taking it. My question is:
    Is it a good idea to stop taking the Acular drops? (I have stopped taking
the Celluvisc eye drops as the intermittent irritation I have been having seems to be slightly better. )
Will my eye heal naturally if I dont take any ACULAR drops? The doctor told me to take the drops
twice a day for 3 months and then to see him again in 3 months time. Many thanks for your comments.

Taking drops like acular is VIP. Acular makes a second type that is less likely to sting. Ask the Eye MD to prescribe that (I think its Acular LS)  or switch to another drop like Acular (example Xibrom)
