prednisolone eye

Thank you so much Doreen for taking the time to help me, I do not have any of the above I was fine till I had lasik other than the vision over age getting less - you mention "Treatment usually needs to be for multiple weeks" I have been doing the drop for 5 weeks so do you think I just need to give it more time, the pressure is great has been tested many times and dialations many times, so just give it time I guess not sure, I had a feeling to much prednisolone was not not good at pre

I have been on Prednisolone eye drops since December 8th 3 times a day for a week than 1 time a day for a week. I'm on the last week I took it this morning but it's weird now my eyes are still burning and I'm so confused right now because my eyes actually stop burning last Wednesday and my eyes been fine until today.What should I do.Tomorrow is my last day taking the Prednisolone eye drops.

I think some opththalmologists ask their patients to continue on Nevenac after discontinuance of prednisolone, since prolonged use of prednisolone is usually not desirable. Both drugs are used to treat postoperative redness and inflammation.

i may have taken ofloxacin and prednisolone eye drops in my eye 5 times in a day instead of the 4 times like i was supposed to do.will it cause any harm?

she felt some irritation.. suddenly her one of the eye got reddish.. she went for treatment, and after some days, the eye came back to normal. But now, the same got reddish again, after multiple check up with the eye doctor, she prescribed "Prednisolone acetate ophthalmic suspension USP" and she used for a week.. now her eyes are 70% ok. but meanwhile she was asked to take a blood test in which ERYTHROCYTE SEDIMENTATION RATE results came in 31mm.

I am a Canadian missionary living in Papua New Guinea with the nearest eye specialist, optomologist an hour flight away. Since I have had it before I am providing self treatment with (at least one outdated) med: (1) I am treating myself with something I picked up here called Maxidex (Dexamethason .1% with other ingredients including Benzalkonium Chloride .001%, Hydroxyphropl Methylcellulose .5%) and I am wondering if that will help cure it?

The doctor prescribed prednisolone eye drops with a tapering dose over a week or so. This seemed to take care of the issue. However, a couple of weeks later and after going off of the eye drops as prescribed, my eye flared up with the same symptoms. The doctor recommended the same treatment. The eye once again improved. 1 week after the second incident, I was nearly tapered entirely off of the eye drops. However, my top eyelid became quite swollen and painful.

My eye doctor sent me to a cornea specialist and after an exam he asked me to keep taking the acyclovir tablets (1 pill - 3x a day) and prescribed Pred Forte eye drops (Prednisolone Acetate 1%) 4x a day. Reading about this stereoid, I saw that it is not to be used on infections caused by virus (eg. Herpes). What should I do????? Thank you.

I had a follow-up visit with the retinal specialist concerning the retinal swelling and double vision in my right eye. As reported earlier, I have bilateral open-angle glaucoma and cataracts, the cataract in the right eye having been removed in 2005 at which time the lens fell into the back of the eye, followed by vitrectomy in 2006 and an intraocular implant in 2007. I now have retinal swelling which is being treated with Prednisolone and Nevanac, 3X daily, right eye.

Generally, they are used after eye surgeries to help the eye heal. Since prednisolone is a steroid it can cause an increased susceptibility to infections so it may be paired with an antibiotic such as ciprofloxacin or gatifloxacin. As with all medicines it is important to seek the advice of your physician about its safety.

He used the eye wash station and reported it. This has happened before, possibly 2 other times in the past 10 years. Past times resulted in mild eye infection that was treated by our doctor w/ drops. This time he got a severe infection that he treated for 2 weeks with little results. He was sent to a specialist. Treatment plan, antibiotic drops, steroid drops, as well as some type of drops to help his pupil to shrink.

My suggestions would be to see a Eye MD specialzing in retina/vitreous for special tests of your eye to be sure there are no difficult to see retinal tears/detachments. Ask the retina MD about pilocarpine, I don't think they will feel you should be on it. Also if you have access to a Eye MD that specializes in glaucoma I would see one as soon as possible. You need a test called gonioscopy, and will need ongoing management of the pressure in your eye.

My eye surgeon prescribed prednisolone and Nevanac (brand name) drops after my cateract surgery. Prednisolone is a corticosteroid, and Nevenac is an NSAID (a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug -- I like to think of it as "ibuprofin for the eyes"). Both are quite commonly used after surgical procedures, and both address the redness and inflammation that can occur after surgery. I'm sure Dr. Vosoghi will comment further as to side effects.

I was diagnosed 4 days ago with episcleritis in my left eye but the doctor seemed concerned with scleritis as well. I am taking prednisolone 4x day and and 400mg 2x day. Now my other eye is feeling the same irritation and beginning to get deep pain so I started drops in that eye too. With this treatment when can I expect relief? Preliminary tests suggest the possibility of something autoimmune (1:640 ANA speckled). Waiting for more in depth tests next week and eye specialist next week too.

my eye doctor did a laser on my right eye and prescribed a drop called prednisolone if it was not shaken before use for the first two times will it matter? and if a drop was put in the wrong eye will it harm my eye?

I was recently put on prednisolone eye drops after having cataract surgery. Has anyone ever taken these eye drops and had severe abdominal bloating.i fee like it happened over night. It’s so uncomfortable.

I notice that I had redness in my left eye. I went to the eye doctor and he examine the eye and stated that I had episcleritis. The first two weeks I was put on anti-inflammatory drops, which did not help. This past week I was put on Prednisolone and over the counter ibuprofen and it has help tremendously. However, I still have just a little redness. Should I be worried?

prescribes a continuation of prednisolone acetate 1% eye drops 4x per day, at least up until my 3- week post op appointment. The possible side effects scare me. Can I gradually taper off the frequency of these steroids as long as the eye stays clear and comfortable? I saw some recommendations on-line for lowering frequency in 2nd week to 3x per day and 2x per day in 3rd week.

This is a follow up to my orignal post of recurring left eye pain following cataract surgery in February of 2012. I had my eye dr appt yesterday and my left eye was still a bit swollen so he prescribed Prednisolone OP 1% 4x a day for 7 days. He looked behind the eye and saw nothing irregular but he couldn't explain why my eyelid is suddenly drooping since I hadn't been on any steroid drops for almost 2 weeks. The left eyelid Ptosis is 3mm and left pupil is larger than the right.

I have been using antibiotics (polymyxin B, Gentamicin, dexamethasone) and steroid (prednisolone) eye drops and hypertonic saline 5% solution. Post operative, I have orally taken prednisolone 30mg daily for 3 days, ciprofloxacin tablets 500mg twice a day for 5 days, Acetazolamide 1 tab twice a day for 5 days. After a week I was added Timolol eye drops followed by brimonidine tartrate.

But still he is suffering from the attack of this disease(his right eye get deflected and its pupil got down). he was treated in AIIMS new delhi back time but doctors reported that they dont know about the cause of the disease all they suggested that when he got attacked by this palsy, he should be given a prednisolone tablet as per as dose.. his vision of affected eye is 6/6. what should we do, Is surgery an option????????????

02.After 2 month i developed Bells palsy and conformed by neurologist and gave Vit.B12 and Prednisolone tab for 20 days. I took that and again went to doctor for recheckup and told it was cured. 03.After a week rash was formed 1st in upper of both shoulder and then neck,collar area, back of the body, below the ear and little bit on face. But the rash is not itching so I went again to doctor and he told it is due to prednisolone tab sideeffect. 04.

My symptoms at the moment are blurry vision, deep pain in the eyes, redness of the eye at the corner, severe sensitivtiy to light, pain around my temples and eyebrows. My eye doctor talked about being put on immuno suppresive drugs but is still not sure about it. Can anyone give me advice as to what treatement to seek, tests to get done?
