I had both lens replaced in July 2015. I had issues with dry eyes for almost 10 -12 months after surgery. My doc mentioned it prior to surgery but I did not anticipate the degree. It bothered me a lot first 2-3 months, especially when playing golf on a windy day and when sitting under/near a ceiling fan.

I used (over the counter) drops 2-3 times a day and used heat packs for a couple of weeks. My doc said it was not unusual for tear drops to stop working after lens replacement.

Sometime during the past few months it has “gone away” and I have forgotten about it. So for me it did clear up.

Hope your husband eyes do the same.

My surgery was knife.

I am 95% happy with my results.

Don

PS: fred53 have you had cataract surgery?
