I was going over all the instructions I was given for my cataract surgery and came across this post-op gem: "Remove your shield temporarily after surgery to put in the drops." Just how else am I to put in 3 different drops, 2 of which I'm to do 4 times a day?

The same people who warn you that peanut butter may contain peanuts...

And that it's "vegan".

Remember, we’re in an era where they have to put notes about removing child from the clothing before washing the clothing!

That makes me think some people put the drops on the shield instead of in their eyes and actually admitted they were that dumb when asked at the clinic how they were applying the drops when there was no sign of improvement after the surgery when they went back for a post-op checkup? Some people ARE that silly!

Certainly makes you shake your head that they have to be so specific since people have no common sense

It would be difficult to do with the shields in Brilliant.

Of course, people will have to remove the shield temporarily before applying the drop... although, it's good they give out that instruction because some people would have applied the drops with the shield on

Don't know how they'd manage it though.
