Detailed Answer:
Dear Sir, Hi
I appreciate your concern for the efficacy of the prescribed medications following cataract surgery by Intraocular Toric Lens.

Gloeye tablets contain, multivitamins, proteins and antioxidants.
They are prescribed to delay the progression of cataract, age related macular degeneration and some other eye diseases seen in elderly individuals.

Bestage capsules contain multi vitamins & minerals that are essential for the healing of the post operative wounds like following cataract surgery.

Hope I could answer your query.
Wishing you best of your health.
