I have a question for you.  In May, I had the cataracts in both of my eyes removed & new lenses put behind my pupils.  I’ve had no problems with my left eye but for 2 days my right eye was red & dry with light pressure & some pain.  At first I used Blink Eyedrops 4 to 6 times a day & it got better after 2 days.  The eye doctor told me that nothing seemed wrong but told me to use AC Soft Lid Cleaner 4 times a day & Blink Eyedrops 4-6 times a day. One week later the problem came back, then went away again. Also I woke at midnight one night with my eye feeling dry & rough so I used the Blink Eyedrops & it was fine. 

 

I  am wondering what is causing the redness and pressure and why it comes and goes.  Has anyone else had this problem?  Please let me know!

    I don't think any of us can answer that except an opthamologist!  I know, after cataract surgery, my dr. had me on three different drops. One for two weeks 4 x a day.  One for 3 weeks 4 x a day.  And Prednizone for a month, dropping down each week from 4x a day, to 3x a day, etc.  They are for swelling, irritation, and pain.
