Can You Use Systane Drops After Cataract Surgery

If you experience these symptoms, or have a known dry eye tendency, you should consider using artificial tears liberally for the first few months after cataract surgery to improve comfort. Typically, most patients find relief by using artificial tears 3 – 4 times daily. It is not recommended to use Visine drops after cataract surgery. Visine drops are useful for allergy symptoms and should only be used for about a week because of the risk of causing rebound redness. Rebound redness occurs when Visine and other similar drops cause constriction or narrowing of the blood vessels on the conjunctiva, the clear transparent.
