Hello
Welcome to Health care magic.
I am Dr. Dadapeer K, an ophthalmologist and I answer health problems related to eye.
I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that your husband is having swollen eyes following cataract surgery and laser procedure.
This is because of inflammation following the procedure.
Use of antiinflammatory and analgesic drugs will provide symptomatic relief.
Hence I advice you to consult your ophthalmologist for examination and treatment accordingly.
Hope this is helpful to you.
Do write back to me for further questions.
Thank you
With regards
Dr. Dadapeer K
