I recently had cataract surgery and my doctor prescribed Acular 0.5% Ophthalmic Solution 5ml, which is a type of NSAID eye drop. I know it's meant to reduce swelling and inflammation, but I'm a bit anxious about the potential side effects. I've read about some serious ones, like eye pain and changes in eyesight, so I'm wondering if anyone has had similar experiences, or if there are any tips on how to manage the discomfort. I'm also curious about how long it usually takes for the swelling to go down and if there are any tricks to make the application process easier.
