introducing drop-a-day cataract sugery™
A Simpler, More Convenient Way to Heal
At Kearney Eye Institute, we’re proud to offer an innovative new option for cataract surgery patients—Drop-A-Day Cataract Surgery™. This advanced treatment significantly reduces or even eliminates the need for costly and time-consuming post-operative eye drops.
T.J. Clinch, M.D., is the first eye surgeon in the Tri-City area to perform this breakthrough procedure. By delivering a time-released medication directly into the eye at the end of surgery, we help patients recover more comfortably—with fewer steps and fewer expenses.
Why Choose Drop-A-Day Cataract Surgery?
Traditionally, cataract surgery recovery involves a strict regimen of multiple eye drops used several times a day for weeks. These drops are essential for preventing infection and inflammation—but they can also be:
- Difficult to manage for patients with limited mobility or vision
- Costly, especially when multiple prescriptions are required
- Dependent on caregivers for proper administration
- Risky if doses are missed or skipped
With Drop-A-Day Cataract Surgery™, many of these concerns are eliminated.
How It Works
During surgery, a sterile, compounded formulation of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medication is placed in the back of the eye (the vitreous). This time-released treatment supports healing throughout the recovery period—without the need for multiple daily drops.
Most patients will only need one anti-inflammatory drop per day for a short time after surgery—or none at all. This approach not only improves convenience but also offers significant cost savings.
Better Healing, Less Hassle
