What eyedrop medication is associated with cataract formation?
Long-term use of steroids is associated with premature cataract formation, usually a PSC (posterior subcapsular cataract) at the back of the lens.

Isn’t it also systemic steroids that can lead to cataracts? I am thinking of both PO and IV steroids…
WHICH STEROIDS PARTICULARLY?

How long after cataract surgery should you use eye drops (antibiotic and inflammation drops)?
if your lens is loose why is it so painful by giving you headace. is it nessasery to remove the eye.
@JPeters: I’m not sure what you mean by “loose lens.”
1. If you are talking about a dislocating lens inside the eye, this is generally NOT painful and needs to be addressed by an ophthalmologist.
2. If you are talking about a dislocating implant … pretty much the same thing.
The only scenario I can think of where a “loose lens” would cause pain, is if the implant/lens is rubbing on the iris inside the eye, causing an iritis.
Either way … I recommend seeing an eye doctor if you are having eye pain or headaches.
