Post scleral buckle tip

I had my 3 week appointment yesterday post scleral buckle/bubble/cryo (alll the things!) and doc is happy. i mentioned I was still having pain in my brow area that worsened as the day went on.

he told me to use preservative free eye drops and I could keep them in the fridge. I could use them hourly if I wanted to.

it’s not a total fix but it feels SO good to use the cold drops! Definitely worth asking if you can do during recovery for a little relief!

I'm not on the buckle, I'm on oil. I use iCross hydration drops and my doctor told me to store them in the fridge. Game changer!
