2 | Inflammation in my eyes | I’ve used this for 11 months still have inflammation I tried to slowly stop using it my eyes hurt and were very sensitive to light and experienced extreme headache now it has given me cataracts in both eyes | I do not know what to do at this point except to have surgery to remove both cataracts/ | F | 53 | 11 months 0.05% | 2/2/2020 | 3 | Chronic uveitis | Burning dry eye swelling watering all symptoms.. | 60 | 4 months 4 drop bot | 11/20/2019 | 4 | Cataract Surgery | Burning of eye; facial redness and swelling underneath eye. The redness and swelling is probably from an inactive ingredient. I've had this problem with other eye drops as well. | My ophthalmologist had a different dosing schedule than the package insert's guideline, but it was prescribed alongside the anti-inflammatory Ilevro which may have been the reason. My instructions were for 2 drops per day for 1wk, then 1 drop per day for 3wks, no tapering, but I tapered by doing 1 drop every other day for 1wk before ending the med. I have a long history with corticosteroids for a medical condition and know tapering is needed for me. This steroid is quite expensive - over $200 per bottle and it was prescribed 1 bottle per eye. | F | 58 | 28 days 5mL 1X day | 11/15/2017 | 3 | Following cataract surgery | No problem while taking this drug. After I stopped, my eye felt sore and irritated for about a month. | To deal with the after-effects of this drug, I applied very warm compresses, every day for about 4 weeks. | M | 68 | 6 weeks 0.05 pct 2X day | 9/24/2014 | 3 | after retina detachment surgery | This is a steroid used after various eye surgeries. It is very strong and VERY difficult to get off. After using it for 3 months my doctor told me I could stop. the second day of no drops, my eye trurned red, swollen and painful. I started the drops again trying to use for 2 days on and 1 day off for a week. Then I went to 1 day of drops and 1 day off for a week. When I tried to go 1 day of drops and 2 days off, I experienced the same problem as in the beginning--red eye, swelling and pain. I had to go back to doctor and he gave me a different medicine which I am taking 3 drops for 10 days, 2 drops for 10 days and 1 drop for 10 days. | F | 66 | 90 days 0.05% 1X day | 8/15/2013 |
