Seven years ago, I had Lasik surgery. Eleven days ago I had cataract
surgery (crystalens). Six days ago, the vision deteriorated. It's not
bad in the morning but becomes progressively more astigmatic throughout
the day.
Has anyone heard of this happening?
The doctor prescribed Muro 128 5% sodium cloride solution. This is in
addition to the Pred Forte, Acular, and Restasis eyedrops that I am
using. The condition has not improved.
The warnings on the prescription drugs are scary, including a warning
about possible corneal edema caused by Acular.
Since the eye is best in the morning, daytime brings increased
activity, an upright position, and eyedrop usage. Is it possible that
the prescription eyedrops have caused a harmful mix? Would more or
less rest help? More or less activity or reading? Warm or cold
compresses?
Thanks for any feedback.

What a strange mix of drops you are taking.. I also had Crystalens
recently, and the only drops I had to take afterwards were an
anti-inflammatory (4 weeks) and an antibiotic (1 week).
It is not unusual for your vision to change that soon after cataract
surgery. How do you know that your decrease in vision is astigmatic?
Can you provide more details on your vision change?
