Can I use Itone eye drops after cataract surgery? - #52484

Hi! I’m an assistant to the Ask Ayurveda doctors. I’ve carefully reviewed your question.

I will explain your symptoms through the Ayurvedic perspective so you understand what is happening in your body as a whole.

Cataract surgery involves a significant intervention in the eye, and post-surgery, the body is in a state of healing. In Ayurveda, the eyes are governed by the Pitta dosha, which is responsible for vision and transformation. After surgery, there can be an imbalance in the Pitta, leading to inflammation or irritation, which is why medications like prednisolone and moxifloxacin are prescribed to reduce inflammation and prevent infection.

Itone eye drops are often used for their cooling and soothing properties, which can help balance Pitta and provide relief. However, it is crucial to ensure that introducing any new substance to the eye post-surgery does not interfere with the healing process or prescribed medications.
