[tri-med] Question about post op cataract surgery and lens ?

Hi Everyone :o)
Devon's eye is all blood shot today. It's probably perfectly normal because
after all, his eye has had a lot done to it right? I guess I just need to
hear someone tell me it's normal for it to be bloodshot? We've been
religious about putting the 3 different drops in at breakfast, lunch, dinner
and bedtime. He's not bothering it. When the patch is off, he has his mitts
on and one of us watching him at all times and at times like now, we have
the mitts off and the patch on taped really well. Kind of a test to see if
we can leave the mitts off tonight since he was really aware of them last
night and one of the things that kept him awake.

 

The other question is more out of curiosity. The Alcon rep gave us a card
with the intraocular lens implant info on it. Devon's is a Acrysof Natural
IOL with a blue UV light filter. I read about it and it sounds perfect for
him. The power of the lens is 30.0. Is that really strong or weak or
somewhere in the middle? I don't question whether it's the proper lens.I
trust that they put the one in that best suited all of Devon's anomalies.I'm
just curious if it's a really strong one or what?

 

Thanks in advanced.
