Understanding Dry Eyes After Cataract Surgery
Request an Appointment
Cataract surgery is a common procedure that not only restores vision but may also be accompanied by temporary dry eye symptoms. Dry eyes after cataract surgery occur when the tear film that normally lubricates and protects the surface of the eye becomes unstable. This condition, though uncomfortable, is usually not a serious threat to overall eye health. At EyeCare Consultants of NJ, we proudly serve Northern New Jersey patients at our Woodland Park location and Central New Jersey patients at our Edison clinic, delivering expert eye care with a personalized touch.
