I was prescribed Lotemax 0.5% Ophthalmic Ointment after my recent eye surgery. It's been a few days, and while it's helping with the swelling, I'm noticing some discomfort. I've read about possible side effects, but I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced similar issues and how they've managed them. Have any of you had any adverse reactions, and if so, what did you do? I'm also curious about the long-term effects and if anyone has any insights on how to deal with the short-term pain after using the medication. Any advice or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated!

I've been prescribed Flurbiprofen 0.03% Ophthsoln 2.5ml eye drops as part of my pre-surgery regimen for cataract surgery. I am aware that it is an NSAID used for preventing pupil constriction and inflammation during surgery. I'm a bit nervous about the possible side effects, especially the burning or stinging sensation that can occur. Has anyone else had to use this and what was your experience with it? I'm curious to know if anyone had any issues with the solution or if it was fairly benign. I've heard that these drops can help to make the surgery smoother (though I'm not a medical professional and mainly heard this from my pre-op nurse). In any case, I figured I'd ask my fellow Redditors for some additional insights.

I recently had cataract surgery and was prescribed Ketorolac 0.5% Ophthalmic Solution. The drops were very effective in reducing the pain, swelling, and inflammation. However, I did experience some mild eye irritation and blurred vision for a few days. I'm curious if anyone else has had similar side effects? I followed the instructions and used them exactly as prescribed, but I'm still wondering if anyone has had a different experience. I was surprised by how quickly the drops worked, but the side effects were a bit concerning. Has anyone else had any unexpected side effects?
