zymar eye drops side effects

Now, if you truly insist, some surgeons can taper off the steroids at 4 weeks instead of 8, while contiuing the Xibnrom, but my personal preference is the 8 week course unless there are side effects from the Pred FOrte such as a pressure rise (about 5% of the time or so.

Thanks. Now after cataract surgery (left eye) we are given below drops. Zymar 4 times a day for 1 week. Pred Forte 4 times a day for first 3 weeks, 3 times a day next 1 week, 2 times a day for next 1 week, 1 time a day next 1 week. Megabrom 2 times a day for 4 weeks. Megabrom when applied gives prickling/slight burning sensation is it normal? Can Megabrom dose be reduced to 2 weeks. Wondering combination of steroidal and non-steroidal drops.

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.

Bandage lens placed on eye with one week follow up to remove lens. Used Zymar drops 1 x day while bandage on. Told 4-6 wk. heal time. I am at the 4 wk. mark. I have scratchy, gritty, irritated, burning eyes. Called opthamologist several times w/same response of give it time. Using eye drops several times and hour still and pm ointment. GP is ruling out Sjogrens syndrome with bloodwork.

has tried me without the drops (pressure soared) and on other drops that didnt work or that I had side effects with so Cosopot it is. I was just curious to know if anyone else on Cosopt has experienced these side effects or if it is just me.

Does azasite usually work and is it usually tolerable with little side effects cause I am so sensitive which the doc knows?

You have a serious problem that can cause permanent damage to the eye and in the worst case loss of eye. It may take longer than a week to clear up. use the medicine drops exactly as prescribed. Deal with the sensitivity to light with a hat and sunglasses. You can even get sun goggles like people wear after cataract surgery that block from the side and top. Ask the ophthalmologist about them tomorrow. DO NOT WEAR YOUR OTHER CONTACT LENS.

She is also on Glaucoma eye drops. She is experiencing extreme fatigue and she said her thoughts/memory seem fuzzy. How long do these side effects last? My mother is a small person who doesn't take any other medications except for the eyes. She works out everyday. She isn't up to that either. Does she have to get these every 4 weeks or can they space them out more or lesser dose?

, 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., this has to do with "wide open nasolacrimal duct" can someone please explain how this happens?

I just thought there was no way eye drops could have side effects . But the results from a switch were a pleasant surprise. Doc said sometimes drops are not effective anymore and a change works. Thanks .

The distance vision is still acceptable (20-20 in right eye) and the IOL eye (left) can now read at about 18 inches and see pretty dadgum good at a distance. I don't think I could have stood the halos and "adaptation" period.

I saw a physician today who did an EKG and it was normal, but my pulse was between 100 - 120 (normal for me is 60) and my blood pressure was 154/84 (normal for me is 120/80. He looked up the side effects from the Durezol and Ilevro eye drops I'm using and found they can cause increased heart rate and high blood pressure. I have no history of heart problems. In fact, I'm a runner.

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.

My GP then prescribed Predsol (Prednisolone Sodium Phosphate) drops - one drop three times daily for five days. The list of side effects looks quite scary and so far I havn't used them. The side effects include: "Glaucoma, blurred vision or problems with sight, enlarged pupils, drooping of the upper eyelid, thinning of the cornea or sclera which can lead to perforation.

I had the same surgery 8 weeks ago and found I was allergic to the preservitives in the eye drops which has left me with a chronic dry sore eye. I can't sleep at night because of the scratching and burning sensation. I don't think it will ever get better as every day is the same. I have been told to scrub the eyelids twice a day with diluted baby shampoo but this has added to my pain as my eyelids are raw with that. Sorry it not good news and I hope you do better than I have.
