   How long should I use eye drops after cataract surgery?

   • The eye drops you have been given should help with any irritation. You will usually need to use these eye drops for up to 4 weeks after surgery. Wash your hands in the morning after you wake up, and feel alert. Boil water (or ask someone to do this if you can't see clearly) and pour some into a clean container. Leave the water to cool down.
