I had cataract surgery about 2 years ago. had both eyes done about a month apart. They put me on Prednisilone eye drops after surgery and I started gaining weight 1/2 lb per day and it elevated my blood pressure. It was awful and very dangerous. Because eyes were done so close together I had to be on the drops for so long. I would only suggest doing one eye at a time and waiting until you are completely off the eye drops for 6 months. I take no other meds, not even aspirin and am 75 yo. Vision is now great for distance and wearing cheapies for reading, no big deal. When you first get your eyes done you'll find that your colors are different and look more blue, so people with a tan look greenish now. ....... so be it.
