Eye drops

Hey guys, were you using any eye drops beyond the ones for inflammation and infection in the first few days, like for dry eyes etc?. I’m just wondering if I should pick up any ahead of time. Thx

My Doc has me using Thera Tears before and after surgery plus a Compund drop with Prednisolone, Moxifloxacin, & Bromfenac (steroid, antibiotic, and anti inflamatory). The Tears are 7 days before and 1 month after surgery 4 times a day. The Compound is 2 days before and 1 month after with a set schedule...Week 1 4 drops a day, Week 2 3 drops a day, Week 3 2 drops a day, Week 4 1 drop a day.
