My father just had surgery for cataract on his left eye today and the doctor prescribed gatiquin tromide plus eye drops. Weve also been told to continue using Brivex, which he was using before the surgery. Is it safe to keep using Brivex on the day of the surgery? I'm a bit worried and would appreciate your advice.

I'm really worried because my left eyelid has suddenly become swollen. It's so irritating and makes me want to scratch it. I noticed it started after my yoga class in the park yesterday morning. It wasn't that bad then, but today it's way more swollen. Could the yoga class or just being outside have caused this? What should I do about it?

That could be due to insect bite, don't try to squeeze it, visit Ophthalmologist for evaluation and appropriate management
