Cataract surgery does not cause long-term dry eyes, but it is common to experience temporary dryness, grittiness, or irritation as your eye heals. Artificial teardrops can help relieve discomfort, and your pharmacist/optometrist can advise on the best type for you.
Pre-existing dry eye conditions should be discussed with your optician or surgeon before surgery, as they may need to be managed to ensure the best outcomes.
