A member asked:
What advice can you give me for looking after a person who has had their cataracts removed?

Placing a eye drops: You can help by giving the person his/her drops after surgery. You can drive the person for surgery on the day of the surgery. It will be great to help to pick up things from the floor and lift heavy object for he/she.

Use the drops!: Use their drops, and do not bump or rub on the eyes. No harm done using the eyes to look at things or read.
