Suggest Treatment For Red Dry Eyes Post Cataract Surgery

My mother had cataract surgery and her eyes are dry and red. Feels scratchy. Feels like sand in her eyes. Everyday all day !!! Closes her eyes for relief and is constantly blinking. I ve been putting clear eyes lubricant drops in her eyes but it only helps for a short period of time. Should I try Visine to get the red out....vasoconstrictor ??.... would that work better ???....
