HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Urinary frequency is not known to be related to cataract surgery and it is also not known as a side effect of ofloxacin.

Ofloxacin is an antibiotic which can be used for different types of infections including urinary tract infections. This means that it treats symptoms of urinary tract infections (such as frequency) and not known to cause it.

You may need a urine analysis to get an idea of the cause.

Causes include: (1)infection- not as likely since already taking an antibiotic
(2)diabetes
(3)incontinence
(4)urinary stone- would normally be associated with pain
(5)diabetes insipidus- problem with concentrating urine

I hope this helps
