My mom has been coughing quite a lot lately, and I'm a bit worried since she's supposed to have cataract surgery on the 18th of January. Is it safe for her to go ahead with the surgery with this cough, or should she delay it? Would love to get your advice on this.

I'm on my computer and phone a lot, and lately, my eyes have been feeling really tired and dry. I've been thinking about using lubricating drops like Refresh Tears or carboxymethylcellulose sodium every day to help out with this. Is it safe to use them daily, or should I be worried about any side effects?

Yes you can use it no problem
