After Cataract Surgery

[snowwhitesmoma]

I have been in complete mysery every since my cataract surgery in September, it feels like i have a wash rag in botheyes, my Dr has put in plugs in my lower lids last week , still no releif. I have  tried  several kinds of drops drops , including the night time grease, still no releif. Is it possible that the wrong size lense were used or damage has been done to my tear ducts? I am deperate

After reading your link, I found that by massaging the  gland that produces tears in the upper eye lid that I now have tears and the plugs in the lower lids keep the tears from draining down my nose and throat. I hope this will help  sombody else out there!!
Thank You, Snowwhitesmommma

The wrong power of IOL is not at all likely. Nor is damage to the tear ducts at all common in cataract/IOL surgery. This is a classic situation where a second opinion is in order. Either ask your surgeon to refer you to a trusted Eye MD or find one yourself.
