    I had cataract surgery both eyes 3 years ago, a laser was used to pulverise the lense before removal and a plastic lense implanted. My dry eye and posteria MGD began withing days of the surgery. Never had problems before. I am now under the Hospital Eye Clinic. They insist that the dry eye is nothing to do with the surgery but cannot explain why it began at the same time. I have had gland expression, but they completely block again within days. The dry eye is so severe I apply drops about every hour. I have had plugs, but they caused an infection. I am now waiting for further laser surgery as I have developed PCO in one eye as a result of the lense implant. I use Systane UD, Systane Ultra & Lubristil Gel drops, and use an MGD eyebag. I have tried Doxy tablets and Anthramycin, oral and drops. I am currently using steroid drops after having the plugs removed. Speaking to people at the eye clinic, I am not alone with my experiences after surgery.
