Use BOTH of the following medications as directed:

1. ANTIBIOTIC (from before operation)
Vigamox
(moxifloxacin hydrochloride)
or
Ocuflox
(ofloxacine)
(See Antibiotic Options)

4 x per day in operated eye
(ie. morning, lunch, supper, and bedtime)



AND

2. ANTI-INFLAMMATORY
Voltaren Ophtha
(diclofenac sodium)

4 x per day
in operated eye
(i.e. morning, lunch,
supper, and bedtime)

Be sure to leave 5 minutes between the instillation of each drop so you do not wash the first drop out with the second drop. Please continue to take all regular medications unless otherwise indicated by your doctor(s).

Just before bed, apply shield (point towards nose) with scotch tape or paper tape. The shield will help protect your eye while you are sleeping.
