Mrs. Rainey’s intraocular pressure slowly built up because she got older. Most cataracts develop in older adults, the proteins and fibers in the lens start to break down. Causing Mrs. Rainey’s vison to become hazy or cloudy. Mrs. Rainey’s open-angle glaucoma did not cause her cataracts. Although both Glaucoma and cataracts are cause by aging, glaucoma can exacerbate cataracts. 2. Identify medications that are commonly prescribed following cataract surgery. What are the risk of interactions between there medications and Mrs. Rainey’s timolol drops? Some medications that Mrs. Rainey could be prescribed after her cataract surgery are Betaxolol. Another could be Carteolol for ocular lubricant. Latanoprost for her glaucoma. Gentamycin to prevent Mrs. Rainey not get an infection in her eye after surgery.
