I hadn't heard of these...my Ophth has never mentioned them to me..wonder if it's bc of the mixed review type thing. Thanks for posting this. I think for Wylie, it'd be too late for these bc his cataracts are pretty much a full eclipse now.

We do give flurbiprofen drops every other day (per the Ophth) as well as cyclosporine ointment for his dry eye. The flubiprofen is kinda supposed to do what those other drops above do, but probably not as specifically.

Geesh, I thought more people had experience w/ cataracts but it looks like it's rarer than I thought. Which isn't a bad thing, lol...I'd rather hear it wasn't common so other yorks didn't have to go through this .
