Generally : Generally fluid in the eye, such as corneal or retinal swelling will resolve within days or weeks of the cataract surgery. Eyedrops such as Bromday and predforte are usually helpful.

Fluid in eye: Your description sounds like your friend may be allergic to one of her drops or may have some irritation due to the drops. She needs to see her surgeon for further evaluation and treatment.
