Suggest Treatment For Blurred Vision After Cataract Surgery
I had cataract surgery two weeks ago. I continue to have blurred vision, so much so that I cannot drive. My surgeon says that he did everything as he should have. He says I have dry eyes and that is causing the blurred vision. Funny, two weeks ago I did not have dry eyes or blurry vision. Is he correct?

Yes, he may be right as after cataract surgery there are chances for the dry eyes and this is very common issue with most of the patients undergoing Phacoemulsification cataract IOL Surgery.
The drainage system of the eye's tear film is interrupted due to manipulation of the eyes.
I usually suggest my patients in such a case Systane eye drops (natural tears solution in them) and they cause a dramatic improvement. You may consult your treating physician for the same.
