I am about to undergo the third scraping of my right eye to remove epithelial cells after an enhancement. My doctor says he has found a glue that we will put on my eye to hold the flap down. In my research, I have found discussions on sutures but nothing about the glue. Do you know anything about the glue? Is there any possiblity of complication from Zymar, FML, or Pred Forte combined with the glue? Oh by the way, a second opinion noted that I have a cataract in that eye- my doctor has never mentioned that. Could this be causing the complication? What would you recommend if so?
Thanks for any info.

GLue can work, but I only have experience with sutures.
A cataract does not alter your risk of epithelial ingrowth.
