I called my surgeon and he said that is completely normal, it is where he made the incision. I am on Pred Forte 4x day, Xibrom 2x day, and Zymar 4 times a day, but I stop the Zymar tomorrow. I looked everywhere on this site and googled every way I know. I did not see anything related to this issue. If there was going to be a bump that was this noticeable, you would think the dr. or nurse would have warned me. There is no redness anywhere.
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.
I went back to the eye doc and he gave me a z-pak to take orally and changed they eye drops to zymaxid. I am on day 3 of that now and am worried it isnt responding like it should. I still have some pain (which as lessened), but I have had a big bag of fluid under my eyelid. I have been using warm compresses as directed, but yesterday started a few cool ones to try to help reduce the edema in my eyelid.
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..
, 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.
I'm on Lotemax / Pred Forte and also on Ketorolac (generic brand of a perscription that I forget) which is an anti-inflamatory.
I have access to Lotepred; is that the same as the Ketorolac, (anti-inflamatory)?
Or, is Lotepred the same as Zymar (anti-biotic)?
I'm trying to avoid renewing my perscription of Ketorolac for 8 more days.
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?
Yes, this is totally normal and done millions of times a year all over the world. I have done it for every cataract surgery I have ever performed. You want to keep the eye from getting inflamed after surgery. If we didn't use proper anti-inflammatory drops, the success rate from surgery would be awful due to inflammatory complications.
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!
I see. Thanks. Only right eye. It's my dad's and he was diagnosed overseas. All he can say now is that he barely sees anything in his right eye. He is 84. I am getting a sense that he has practically lost his vision in that eye, and the cataract operation was probably just a matter of putting a new lens in a blind eye.
Glaucoma surgery because first surgery raise eye pressure to 50. Right eye marinated with zymar, forte, acular and lotemax, many-many follow-up appointments.
The outcome can be more disappointed: Zero correction in astigmatism, my eye pressure is 24-30 after 3rd surgery, my insurance money taken away plus had to pay for an expensive toric lens because is premium and the insurance donot pay for it.
I'm scheduled for cataract surgery on Wednesday. I started the prescription drops (Zymar and Xibrom) on Sunday morning as directed. I've had some peculiar symptoms and wondering if they are drug related. Sunday morning, a few hours after both drops, I sat down to read the paper (next to a bright light) and started feeling very hot. The left (cataract and light) side of my face felt a little numb, with some prickly feeling. I also felt very flushed....weak and faint feeling.
Recently I had to go to the eye doctor and found out my right eye had cornea abrasions and and ulcer. The doctor gave me Zymar, a bacteria antibiotic and that cleared that up. If I had a viral infection such as HIV would the bacterial antibiotic have treated my eye? Also, I've been working at a mail processing place for over a year. Throughout the day I work with a lot of cash, checks, and rubberbands.
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?
