redness and water coming from the eyes Posted: 03-26-05 23:01pm
My mom underwent a cataract surgery for
both eyes around 4 months ago. The
operation was within a matter of 21 days
of both eyes. However after 45 days rest,
her first operated eye (right eye) got red
and watery. She consulted the doctor who
gave her eye drops and meds to be put for
14 days. When the drops and meds were
applied, the redness disappeared but once
the course was over it started to appear
again. The doctor then sent us to a
retina specialist for opinion. The
specialist said that everyting seems to be
normal but there is some low grade
infection in the eye. He again said to
put drops and gave a tapering dose of
fortipred tablets for 21 days. Again
duringthe course, the redness disappeared.
However now once again it has surfaced.
Then we went for a culture test and also
the doctor gave her somne injections in
the eye. The culture report was perfectly
normal and so the doctor said her to put
drops for a period os 2 months (tapering
dose). Now again after 2 montsh when the
drops have stopped after a gap of one day
again the same problem of reddness has
arised.
Could please someone please tell me what
this problem is? Its remedies? And also
is it a common problem. The vision is
perfectly normal, the main problem is
redness and water coming from the eyes.
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
