Expert Advice

  • Your doctor has prescribed Fluorometholone to treat redness and swelling (inflammation) of the eye.
  • Do not use Fluorometholone for more than the prescribed duration, as it may cause glaucoma or secondary infection.
  • Do not touch the tip of the dropper to any surface or your eye to avoid contaminating the eye drops.
  • Apply pressure on the corner of the eye (close to the nose) for about 1 minute immediately after instilling the drop.
  • Wait for at least 5-10 minutes before administering the next medication in the same eye to avoid dilution.
  • A stinging sensation may occur for 1-2 minutes; notify your doctor if it persists longer.
  • If you wear soft contact lenses, remove them before applying these eye drops and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting your lenses.
  • Ensure to use the medication within 4 weeks of opening the bottle.
