Cataract Surgery Eye Medication Charts Now Easy

Recently my wife had cataract surgery on both eyes. Typically this can be done over a 4-6 week period with a 2 week separation between the surgery on one eye and the other. The surgeries went well, the results have been great. One of the most difficult parts of the surgery was keeping track of the eye medications that needed to be taken for each eye. There are three different medications and for each eye over a four week period the number and types of medication vary in both content and number of times that they need to be taken.

To simplify the process - I created two charts -- one for each eye. Posted these in the bathroom and made it very easy to keep track of which meds were taken and how many times they were taken.

Download the chart for each eye:

 Download Left Eye Med Chart

Download Right Eye Med Chart

 

To use these charts just fill in the start date for the process -- all of the dates will then be filled in. Also fill in the meds that you will be taking -- we had 3 different meds -- just replace Med1,Med2,Med3 with your meds in the chart. We had a regimen of 4 times a day first week - then 3 times a day with fewer meds - then 2 times a day and then finally once a day. 

The chart is easily changeable - make sure you check with your surgeon after you have it ready.

Then just print them out and post in your bathroom.

Good luck!
