How do you deal with dry eyes?

Hi @sunny1971, I just had my right eye cataract surgery last Friday and I'm still a little sensitive to light. From what I've read it's common for a few days after the surgery and can also last a couple of months. Here's some information I found on the link below...

"Light Sensitivity
Again, sensitivity to light after cataract surgery is considered quite normal if it lasts for a couple of days. If your eye remains light sensitive for more than a few days, getting a professional opinion is a much better option. Sometimes, you might need to wear sunglasses even for a few months before sensitivity to light is completely gone. Prolonged light sensitivity can also serve as a symptom of some other underlying issue like a higher degree of inflammation. This is when you might get a prescription of eye drops for its treatment."

Was your husband prescribed multiple eye drops to use daily for the first 4 weeks or so after surgery?
