Painful

The last four years, the eye drops at the Ophthalmologist and my Retina Specialist have an reaction to my eyes and lids Swollen, tender, painful, red . I wake up the next day, eyes swollen shut and takes about three days to feel better. I have used cortisone ointment (recommended by the Ophthalmologist. But, I know it thins the skin so I don’t use it often. This year my retina specialist put prednisone in my eyes and lids to try to keep it from happening. I had pictures of my eyes and showed him. Does anyone else have this sensitivity or reaction? Thank you in advance .

  1. I don’t have any answers for you unfortunately. Given your sensitivity it seems like a different drop might be in order for you. I hope others in the community can shed light on the issue. Do you let us know how things work out with you. I hope you find answers soon, Sharon Moore Advocate
