If the problem is forgetting there are apps for smartphones that will alarm you when it is time to take your eye drops. I had to do four times a day and the app worked well for me.

I had dropless cataract surgery in 2017 on my left eye. In January 2019 I had cataract surgery on my right eye with drops being administered for a month afterwards. I too, am terrible at putting drops in my eyes. Between my spouse, friends, ,and myself when there was no one else around - I managed to get them in quite well. My right eye cosmetically looked, and physically felt much better after surgery than my left eye did with the dropless method. Despite the inconvenience of putting in numerous drops, for me, if I had to do surgery over again I would opt for putting in drops after cataract surgery as my eye as a whole felt much better. Others may well have experienced no problems with dropless method, but hands-down putting in drops afterwards was better way for me.

@catlady9 Never heard of laser to remove cataracts I had mine both eyes done in 2009 but you still need to put drops in before and after especially Good luck if you are choosing this way
