But of course, what do you think BAK does? It would cause inflammation. Steroids would more than negate the BAK, even the dilute lotemax. Steroids do not reduce healing though lol they are the best medicine for inflammatory problems most of the time but like you said they carry side effects so doctors tend to use them spariningly. Sometimes stuff can come back stronger after steroids but this can happen with ANY medicine. So if you have chronic inflammation you will need some type of suppression. And if you would rather your site regress to a worse prescription caused by the dry eye then go right ahead.
On the same accord the side effects from steroids very from person to person and are probably not as bad as people make them out to be. You gotta think a lot of people with these different diseases are required to take high amounts of oral steroids for life.
I will look for that article per your post.
Have you ever had a conversation with a dry eye expert about this?
