My mom had cataract surgery in her right eye a while ago but the redness hasn't gone away yet. She doesn't have any pain or irritation though. What's the best way to treat this? Should we be worried about the redness sticking around?

Redness in the eye after cataract surgery is a common side effect and usually resolves on its own within a few weeks. If your mom isn't experiencing pain or irritation, and the redness isn't worsening, it's generally not a cause for major concern. However, it's always best to consult her ophthalmologist to rule out any complications or potential infection

I've been using preservative-free lubricant eye drops for about 10 months after my LASIK surgery and I'm wondering if long-term use is safe for my eyes. Are there any side effects I should be aware of with either preservative or preservative-free drops? I'm a bit concerned about potential harm from using them for so long.

It depends. Every LASIK patient experiences different levels of dryness and can use preservative-free eye drops after LASIK until the dryness abates. However, if you experience extreme and persistent dryness, do bring it to the attention of your doctor.
