I've seen some promising comments on this board recently about azithromycin. Following an extremely rough winter, I am seeing a new ophthalmologist who has started me on Azasite, since none of my eye docs have done so to date. (I have been diagnosed in the past with MDG and at times blepharitis). I am to use it for 6 weeks along with the other interventions (warm compresses at night, omega 3, 8 glasses of water a day, non-preservative lubrication drops,etc.), then have a follow-up.
Is it the case that increased eye redness is normal when using this prescription? It seems as if I have red on this discussion board that it is, and that such redness might last for the duration of treatment. I would say that my eyes seem slightly redder and dryer since using these drops, but last week I had two nights when I was actually able to watch television with my family and night without the usual eye discomfort (which is to say, I didn't have to keep my eyes closed 60-70% of the time). I also felt less exhausted, which makes me wonder if my body has been fight the inflammation in my eyes.
I appreciate any thoughts!
