cataract surgery eye drops

Hello What should be minimum duration left before cataract surgery and last eye drops added. For me it is some thing like this - on the day of surgery -> Itrop 4 times 12.00 12.15 12.30 12.45 Megabrom 2 times 12.05 12.20 cataract surgery time is at 14.00 - so I am left with 1 hour and 15 minutes before surgery and last eye drop(12.45). Is this fine or we should have minimum 2 hours gap?

Thanks. Now after cataract surgery (left eye) we are given below drops. Zymar 4 times a day for 1 week. Pred Forte 4 times a day for first 3 weeks 3 times a day next 1 week 2 times a day for next 1 week 1 time a day next 1 week. Megabrom 2 times a day for 4 weeks. Megabrom when applied gives prickling/slight burning sensation is it normal? Can Megabrom dose be reduced to 2 weeks. Wondering combination of steroidal and non-steroidal drops. Patient has dry eyes/prickling issues since last 5 years - can we use Gentel gel drops (Hypromellose) on both left (cataract operated eye( and right eyes without impacting other drops ZymarPred forte Megabrom? 4 times a day for cataract drops we follow - 10am 2pm(14.00) 6pm(18.00) 10pm(22.00) - is this fine?
