Pain in eye after cataract surgery: When does it get better?

Hello Charlief-- Thanks for your info. Where do you find all the info on Hamrah? Podcasts?
What treatment plan do you refer to? I get the feeling he prescribes the same treatment plan for most of his patients...! That's the feeling I got when I saw him yesterday...Clearly no bedside manner ....pretty dismissive of questions....just HERE is the plan...and he wrote it down and handed it to me.! Have seen many many other opthomologists with all different diagnoses and approaches! Not sure anymore who to believe or trust. I have constant micro blurring in one eye and sometimes pain after cataract surgery a year ago. His plan is difficult and very uncomfortable to follow. I need some encouragement that this will fix the problems in the long run.....Thanks for reading!

I originally read an article in the Wall Street Journal in 2018 about problems the cataract surgery & it referenced dr. Hamrah. I then googled his name & read papers he had given at opthomology symposiums. Also found a podcast he gave. I started the autologous blood drop treatment he recommended & had major improvement from severe pain to discomfort with a month. I have continued it on & off since & not sure if it still helps. I had stints put in my eyelids to improve tearing & that seems to help with dry eye symptoms. I tried a Pro Kera treatment about a year ago & it appeared to help with some of my discomfort symptoms. I take a steroid eyedrop if I am having a bad day. I always carry refresh eyedrops if my dry eye conditions act up it has been 6 years & my routine is doable with ok & uncomfortable periods. I monitor the medical papers for any new breakthroughs but nothing beyond what I have done to date has caught my interest. The lead research on this issue appears to be Tufts, Houston university, Utah university, California Davis university.
