How long does a cataract surgery patient have to use eyedrops and why? Antibiotic eyedrops are used after cataract surgery to prevent infection and steroid and NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug) eyedrops are used to reduce and eliminate inflammation. Typically, the antibiotic drops are used for about a week, while the anti-inflammatory drops are used three to six weeks or longer in some cases.
1 Unlike cable, fiber is not easily affected by water. Fiber-optic technology is practically weather-proof.  Fiber optics use light to transmit information, so the networks can transmit more information between the central office and the home - faster. This means faster fiber-optic Internet speeds, sharper fiber-optic television and clearer calls with fiber-optic home phone.
As opposed to most types of cable, fiber-optic cable (also known as optical fiber) uses light instead of electricity to transmit signals. Obviously, light is the fastest method of transmitting information, but fiber-optic cable has the additional advantage of not being subject to electrical interference.
