I recently had eye surgery and was prescribed Loteprednol 0.2% Ophth Susp 5ml to reduce swelling and inflammation. I've been using it for a week now, but I've experienced some worrying side effects like severe burning and blurred vision and I'm not sure if I should continue using it or if I should contact my doctor. Has anyone else had similar experiences? Are these side effects normal, or should I be concerned? Any advice would be appreciated!

I've been using Loteprednol 0.5% Opth Susp 5ml for a few weeks now to deal with some persistent eye irritation after an allergy flare-up. I'm supposed to continue using it for a while to help my eyes but I’m a bit concerned about the side effects, especially the urgent ones. I'm getting a bit alarmed because I've been experiencing some mild pain and a burning sensation when I use the drops. It seems to be minor, but I can't decide if I should be concerned about it or if it's just a regular part of the healing process. Has anyone else experienced similar issues? Also, how do I know if something is seriously wrong? I want to avoid any life-threatening complications from these drops. I'd appreciate any advice or shared experiences from people who have been through this.
