Had cataract removal, both eyes, in June, used an expensive, once a day eye drop for about 2 weeks. Was told I had dry eye, am 75 yrs. old, and should use a lubricating drop twice a day. So far, I only use a couple of times per week.
After follow up visits, with no after effects except, after some type of adjustment on the right eye, I now have a daily right temple headache for 50% of each day. Has anyone else experienced this problem.
