I have had cataract in both eyes 8 weeks and 4 weeks .  My eyes have both been burning and hurting last few days .. I do not have allergies so am sure this isn't what it could be ... just curious if any one has experienced this . Also how long does it  hurt to get water in the eyes after cataract surgery  . It has burned since day one when I get water in eyes and still does is this also normal ? Thanks

    Did you just say:

    ~ getting "water in the eyes after cataract surgery"

    ~ "It has burned since day one when I get water in eyes"

    Oh my! I took a bath rather a shower to ensure no water got in my eyes post-Op during the 1st week.

      I meant that getting water in eyes hurt after cataract surgery not meaning right after but  when I took shower several days after surgery it hurt and it still

      Hurts 4 weeks later ... just water  dripping down from washing hair. That's what I meant ... and going on vacation next week but guess I won't be swimming much since water hurts eyes. 😩

      1st week after cataract surgery, I only bathed myself from neck down, and rinsed and washed my face over the sink with eyelids tightly shut. And I used cotton pads to wipe clean my eyelids.

      2nd week onward, I showered and washed my hair wearing diving goggles. Then washed my face over the sink, making sure no tape water got in to my eyes.

      Although our eye-doctor's instructions only for the 1st week, I followed them for 3 to 6 weeks.

      Before you go on your vacation, you may want to consult your eye-doctor perhaps he can give you some eye drops.

    My eyes were sore whilst on the drops but were much better after,...mine are bad now through hayfever but artificial tears really help with with dry eyes.
