Dropless Cataract Surgery at EyeHub

Cataract surgery is one of the safest and most successful procedures in modern medicine. More than 95 percent of patients achieve improved vision after surgery.At EyeHub, we offer dropless cataract surgery to make your recovery simpler, more comfortable, and easier to manage.


What Is Dropless Cataract Surgery?

During cataract surgery, your cloudy natural lens is removed and replaced with a clear artificial lens called an intraocular lens.

Traditionally, after surgery patients are prescribed:

  • Antibiotic eye drops

  • Anti-inflammatory eye drops

  • Lubricating drops

These drops are usually required several times a day for a number of weeks.

With dropless cataract surgery, the required medication is placed directly inside the eye at the end of the procedure. The medication works from within the eye and provides steady treatment during the critical healing period.

This means you do not need to manage multiple daily prescription drops after surgery.


Why Many Patients Prefer Dropless Surgery

Using eye drops after surgery can be challenging. Many patients experience:

  • Difficulty putting drops in accurately

  • Burning or stinging sensations

  • Redness or surface irritation

  • Confusing schedules

  • Missed doses

For some patients, especially those with arthritis, limited hand mobility, or reduced vision in the early recovery phase, administering drops can be stressful.

Dropless surgery removes this burden.


How It Works

At the end of your cataract procedure, your surgeon places a carefully measured dose of antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medication inside the eye.

Because the medication is delivered directly where it is needed:

  • Dosing is precise

  • Absorption is immediate

  • There is no risk of forgetting or missing treatment

The medicine remains active during the early healing phase, when inflammation control and infection prevention are most important.
