Ok so i used to use prednisolone preservative free off and on for years.. both my eye specialists (who retired) were fine with it...
now my new eye doc is saying even lotemax ointment (which i can use because there is no preservative) is not to be used long term and is even dangerous in small amounts..he is saying i for sure will get cataracts very early (40s or early 50s) which will make my eyes drier for about 3 months.. and possibly glaucoma..
i just spoke with another dry eye friend on the phone and she said her doc told her lotemax was safe to use daily and that there was even a study done on it with people using it 4x a day for 2 years without problems..
can anybody offer any insight?? Rebecca do you have any knowledge of this?? thanks!!!
i dont want to harm myself but i dont want to be miserable daily.
