Eyesight Issues

Hi to all just would like to know if anyone is having eyesight issues. I had cataract surgery last year but my eyes are terrible with grit and water and discomfort since then. Heard it could be medications. Thanks for your caring always.

Inhaled corticosteroids are associated with the need for cataract surgery, but are not associated with the types of outcomes you're experiencing. I think I'd find a good ophthalmologist (not the one who did the surgery) and have a complete eye examination.

Sorry, but I just now saw this post. I have also had cataract surgery in both eyes with no problems, but have since learned that I have macular degeneration; the wet kind in my left eye and the dry kind in my right eye. I get a shot in m left eye to slow the growth, but what I really wanted to know is if anyone ever told you to use eye drops? It sure seems to me that might help with your problem, although since I'm no doctor I don't know that for a fact. You might want to ask your doctor about that when you see him. I use them twice a day, but was warned NOT to use Visine. Good luck.
