Cataract Clinic - The UK's number 1 Clinic for Eye Surgery and Treatment

When you return home after the operation the eye is often a little achy or scratchy. The vision is frequently blurry. When you get up the next morning you may remove the eye shield. Usually patients see clearly immediately but sometimes it can take a little time for the vision to clear. Most patients tell us that everything is very bright and that colours are very rich.
Assuming that there have been no complications you will then be able to start your drops. These drops, called Maxitrol Eye Drops, are to be used every 2 hours for the first 3 days in the operated eye. Then they are used 4 times a day until you come to the clinic usually about 2 weeks later. You do not need to put the drops in when you are asleep at night. Most patients need drops for about 6 weeks. After that no more drops are needed.
