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.
Fiber optic cables are the medium of choice in telecommunications infrastructure, enabling the transmission of high-speed voice, video, and data traffic in enterprise and service provider networks. Depending on the type of application and the reach to be achieved, various types of fiber may be considered and deployed. This paper describes the main characteristics of optical fiber in general, and the properties of multimode and single-mode fiber (MMF and SMF) in particular.
