I've been prescribed Maxitrol 0.1% Ophth Oint 3.5gm for a stubborn eye infection, and it seems to be helping, but I've noticed some irritation. I've read that this is a common side effect, but I'm still a bit concerned. Has anyone else had experience with this medication? I'd love to hear about your experiences, especially if you’ve had any side effects. Additionally, I've been wondering if there are any tips for using this ointment effectively. It's a bit tricky to apply! The combination of antibiotics and steroid sounds great, but I want to make sure I'm using it correctly and managing any potential irritation.

I was prescribed Maxitrol eye drops to treat an eye infection, but my doctor didn't say much about the side effects. I did some reading and it's kinda concerning. Has anyone else experienced any side effects from this medication? I'm especially worried about the ones that say to seek medical help immediately. What's the likelihood of these serious side effects happening? I've only experienced a bit of irritation, but I'm not sure if that's normal. I also want to know, what happens if you miss a dose or do I just put in the next dose asap? I didn't take it exactly as prescribed for a couple days and I'm not sure if that makes it less effective. I did see something about avoiding wearing contact lenses during the treatment period, is this true?
