Foreign Object in Eye After Cataract Surgery?

by admin

My mother just had cataract surgery a few days ago. She's got a small bit of debris in the eye....not bothering her too much but as you can imagine she'd like to get it out lol.

The eye doctor said not to get water or anything else near her eye, she is still using the drops of course. Is there a SAFE sterile way (to avoid infection) to get this out of her eye? Should she just leave it and hope she can tear it out? Is saline solution safe? I thought of using a Q-tip to get it out, but I don't think that would be sterile enough & worried about the fibers getting in the eye & making it worse.

Thanks

I had cataract surgery in both eyes & when I had a problem with 1 he saw me the same night! MD will not charge you.

Call & see MD. Do not put anything in eye.

Use only the drops she has been given. One should be an antibiotic, another an anti-inflammatory and the 3rd saline solution.

PLS call MD!! & Good Luck
