Here are five notes:

1. The institute is the first in the Tri-city region to offer dropless cataract surgery.

2. Patients undergoing traditional cataract surgery must follow an eye drop schedule for a month post-surgery.

3. These eye drops are expensive, but are critical in reducing inflammation and infection risk.

4. Patients undergoing dropless cataract surgery receive a compounded formulation of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medication in the back of their eye.

5. This timely injection of medicine reduces the risk of infection and inflammation throughout recovery.
