I recently had cataract surgery and was prescribed Prolensa 0.07% Opthalmic Solution to help with post-operative inflammation and pain. I've been using it for a few days now, but I'm curious to hear from others who have used this medication. How effective was it for you? Did you experience any side effects? Any tips on how to use it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Did anyone else have issues with headaches? I've been getting them since I started using Prolensa. I'm not sure if it's related, but it's a bit concerning.

My doctor told me about the side effects list and to be wary of any changes in vision. I noticed some floaters but they went away after a few days. I guess it's normal for some people.

You guys know that this stuff is an NSAID, right? They're like ibuprofen but for your eyes. It actually works really well for inflammation. Just make sure to use it exactly 3 times a day

Prolensa helped a lot with the pain, but I did experience some mild stinging when I first applied it. It went away pretty quickly, though. If you're worried about it, just know that it's normal for some people. If it gets worse you should seek help.

How long did you use it for? I've been using it for a week and I'm still experiencing some mild pain and redness.

Prolensa worked really well for me. I had minimal pain and inflammation after my surgery. Just make sure to use it exactly as prescribed.
