Not a good sign. You should see an ophthalmologist tomorrow morning. You are on some very potent medications. Zymar and tobramycin and deoxycyline are antibiotics. Pred forte is a very strong steroid.
I had cataract surgery on Thursday, November 5th. Everything was going well (I guess, I called the doctor's office about a few concerns but was told what I was experiencing is normal). No pain. Very blurry, bothered by glare, but that all seems to be SLOWly improving. This morning I felt like I had an eyelash under my upper eyelid. I pulled up my lid a bit and saw what looked like a bump with a dark center. It is on the outside of the iris.
To continue or not to continue ? I've been using Zymar for 12 days and the eye infection (mucus film and pink eye) is not completely gone. I was supposed to be completely recovered in 5 days. After 12 days, my eye is about 95% healed. Since " . . . prolonged use may result in overgrowth of nonsusceptible organisms, including fungi.", I would like to know if I should continue for a few more days or stop now.
, rubbing it with my hands seemed to have caused an infection., mucus in my left eye., after seing an optomologist and getting on zymar + azithromycin + benadryl, the tearing + mucus in eye has reduced. Either eye/duct infection is gone from zymar, or my sinus infec has completely cleared or the benadryl is reducing some alergies... anyway., when i apply warm compress and then blow my nose with left nostril blocked., tears + white mucus drains into eye.
hi! my doctor said that i have a bacterial conjunctivitis and ws advised to take zymar- gatifloxacin drops for 4x a day for 14 days. Now is my 3rd day of using the said medicine but i felt that my got swell..dont know if this is the effect...i would like to hear any advised..do i have to continue using the medicine of not? pls. help me..
I was on zymar and then zylet which I could not tolerate then on oral tetracycline that made it worse. I went to a new eye doc who put me on azasite for 14 days. I am very sensitive which he knows but says it is very tolerable and effective by most. Any thoughts?
m really nervous about surgery and am beginning to question if I want to go through with it at this time.....What are preferred anesthesias? What do you think about injections, etc......Sometimes, too much reading (on the internet) is confusing......and distressing.....
Also, what does OD, OS, and OU mean.....thanks for any information you offer.....
I am using drops prednisolone acetate drop(predmet), zymar, cyclopent, acular ls. Also there is no retina detachment. I still find haziness in day light.
I am 36years old and after the surgery my vision is almost 6/12.
My surgeon is watching it and keeping me on Pred Forte and Zymar. I was 20-30 the day after surgery and 1 week later 20-40. (Our goal was Plano.) I had my Optometrist check the eye today as an informal second opinion and he said there was a strange film like coating on the proximal (front) side of the lens and that was likely causing the starburst. It was uneven and had a clear segment in the center of the eye. Is it usual to have a coating form on the front side of a newly implanted IOL?
Sure, you can subsititute another antibiotic (if you can tolerate these drops) such as Tobramycin or Polytrim. For about one patient a week, I have to substitute Tobramycin for my usual floroquinolone Zymar, because the patient has a allergic history. Talk to your surgeon. There should be no problem making the switch here if needed.
I went to the opthamologist, and was told that I have corneal ulcer, likely due to a contact lens induced infection caused. The doctor prescribed Zymar -- an antibiotic -- and might have to prescribe a fortified compound if the symptoms don't begin to dissipate. I have a major problem in that the effected eye is now photophobic. The dimmest of lights forces my eye shut, causing a thin liquid discharge. Can anyone tell me how long it will be before the photophobia dissipates?
I have continually had issues with the inner part of my upper eyelid (what touches the eyeball) sloughing off during some sort of allergic reaction. My eye will itch and burn, swell up, and I'll have the cold sort of discharge in my eye. Then before I know it, the inner skin or tissue will start scratching my eye. If I pull the eye lid up you can see it coming off. It hurts in the WORST way like glass is scratching any time my eye moves. Is this something that has a name?
doctor said I had more inflammation than normal and to use Pred Forte every two hours, in addition to Xibrom and Zymar. Could increased inflammation cause the decrease in contrast?Thanks for any information you may offer.....
My surgeon has prescribed 4 drops of Pred Forte per day for 6 weeks tapering off for 2 weeks following cataract surgery on both eyes. I've read that PF actually delays healing in these cases. I had to use Prednisone for months for an unrelated problem and suffered all the usual side affects - moon face, obese trunk, etc. Do I really need to take Pred Forte for so long? I'm also using Zymar (for ten days) and Xibrom (for 8 weeks) in each eye.
zymar, pred forte, and ciprofloxicillin opthalmic, all prescribed by the opthamologist. He insists there is no connection between the cataract surgery and these incidents of bleeding. Can it reall just be a coincidence----two days later----especially in somebody who was completely healthy and active?
It might also be worth mentioning, she smokes a pack of cigarettes a day?
Thanks for any help and/or advice!
