I got a corneal abrasion following cataract surgery. was it likely caused by the dr/staff? i read about a rupture of a bullous keratopathy but i don't know what caused mine. do i let the same dr do the other eye? i don't want another abrasion?

By PubMed.gov: "corneal abrasion is the MOST COMMON ocular complication in surgery. Treatment requires pain control, antimicrobial prophylaxis, and close monitoring. Pain improves significantly after 24 hours and should be resolved by 48 hours". If you eventually have good vision with the corrected eye there is no reason you have to change to a different eye surgeon.

I use an ophthalmic ointment at the end of every cataract surgery because corneal irritation is frequent and the extra lubrication can help a lot. Some people have more sensitive corneas that might be more prone to an abrasion, and in the second eye using a patch to keep the eye closed or using a bandage contact lens might prevent problems.
