Hello Olivia, don't worry, it won't hurt once but try not to make a habit of it.
Hope all is going well for you otherwise

Was your eye reddened prior to the eye drop being prescribed?
I am just wondering whether or not you should give this surgeons pa a quick ring or perhaps the eye hospital where you were operated on to discuss the eye redness and to find out if this is to be expected or not or if it is a reaction to the eye drops.
I cannot see that putting one too many dropsin can harm youreyebut I would definitely let the dr know or the hospital as suggested above, sorry if I sound pushy.
?That would be what I would do just for reassurance. Take care Jane xx

They have preservatives in them Olivia
When I Googled them, it looks as though you may be in Australia. Preservative free drops are called Minims, they make a range of drops. Ask your Ophthalmologist for them, you may find that just removing the preservative, will help your eyes a lot.
They can be known as 'single use' drops too.

Thank you for you patience in answering me. I'm just worried because it concern my eyes. I was operated on June 9 and i have to see my Doctor next time on July 10. If my eye doesn't get any better after 2 weeks i will definitely book an appointment to see him. Thank you very, very much.

You could ring his secretary & just tell her your concerns, you might be asked to come in earlier. I know that all I have to do is to ring the secretary.
We all worry about things we are not sure about.

If the optometrist says everything is ok, then you should be alright waiting till you see your consultant.

You could read this leaflet but don't start imagining all sorts of different scenarios!
Once someone spots a floater in his/her eye, the person tends to look for the floater all the time. You have just had cataract surgery, so that could be where the floater has come from.

I think that it is a good idea to contact tth eye specialist which is the surgeon.
If your eye is red then perhaps you could call your local eye hospital for advice . Mossst eye hospitals have an advice/helpline.
Take care Jane xx
