Has anyone experienced severe side effects from Pred Forte 1% eye drops?
I was prescribed Pred Forte 1% Ophth Susp 10ml after a recent eye surgery to reduce swelling and irritation. The doctor mentioned possible side effects, but I'm curious to know if anyone has experienced any of the urgent side effects like changes in eyesight or severe eye irritation. I've heard it can be a bit scary if that happens. I'd also like to compare notes on the other possible side effects like headache or a burning/tingling sensation. Is there anything that made them worse? Please share your experience so I can better prepare myself, thank you!

I have never had any of the life threatening side effects mentioned. I just experienced some of the less severe ones. I had a bad rash but it went away on its own. Not sure how it would've turned out if it escalated.
I had quite a bit of trouble with Pred Forte. I suffered from a more severe side effect—severe eye irritation. I had to get this checked out immediately by my doctor.
The headache horrible and it started to get worse after a specific time. So I had to take myself off Pred Forte and I haven't had any serious issues since. I recommend setting a time cap on use.
I had a weird feeling like something was always in my eye. It was annoying, but not unbearable. I can't believe the other side effects people deal with, though. I'm glad I haven't had any of the urgent ones.
My doc mentioned a couple of the urgent ones, but I have never experienced any. That's probably because I treat them with kid gloves. My advice is to be aware of the side effects but don't get spooked.
I had a similar experience with Pred Forte. The burning sensation was intense at first, but it went away after a few days. Just make sure to use it as prescribed by your doctor.
I've had some changes in taste, even though I never took inedible stuff.",I am happy that I didn't have any further issues.
