“That’s interesting he’s just treating the one eye - is that the one with the irritation under the lid? If so, I would guess he is treating that and not the dryness.”
Yes he prescribed the steriod drops just for the left eye to treat what he saw as an irritation under the eye lid. I am to use regular eyedrops also in both eyes.
I only began the steroid drops today. I am still feeling a bit of irritation. Will see what happens after the two weeks of usage.
That’s a good way to compare.lid It helps your dryness. If it does, you could ask him for some for the other eye.
A lot of doctors start with steroids for dry eye. My cornea specialist in Asheville , that I can’t see anytime soon, does that. So I currently get my steroid supply from him when I use up one of the old bottles. Just to have one on hand.
Since I’ve already had cataract surgery There is no risk of steroids creating another. The only risk is glaucoma and as long as I get my eye pressures checked, that won’t be an issue. I’ve never had lotemax raised my pressures one bit. It’s a very safe steroid. As they go. What brand did you get prescribed?
