![]() If your eye pressure climbs too high, you can/will develop cataracts and glaucoma. The reason for this is because it will increase the pressure of your eyes to unsafe levels if you take it for lengthy periods of time. With regards taking FML (fluoromethalone), I would not recommend going beyond the 10 days your doctor recommended.

Sounds like you've got a lot on your plate. Other salts are not available here, only PVA+POVIDONE, but they were really cheap, i do not want to try that cheap stuff. I know i should try preservative free but they are not available here, never saw them anywhere and HPMC one does not suit me. What i would like to ask is if you know is it safe to use Flurometholone Acetate for more than 10 days as the redness didn't go, even shifting to Systane ultra didn't help much. My doc prescribed me Flurometholone Acetate drops for 10 days + Systane Ultra. So, it gave me redness/inflammation, bad stuff. What i want to know is that warm compress will only secrete oils for 2-3 hours? The duration and the amount of secretion will not increase day by day? Amount specially matters otherwise its useless.Ībout dryness, i can say its very stable, after warm compress, no tears/water from lacrimal glands, no tears while yawning etc I mean to say it will surely happen, so warm compress is probably not for me.Īnother thing i would like to ask about eye drops is that i used to abuse drops with Carboxymethylcellulose+preservative and also sleep with it, i did not know what i was doing.

The major downside to my advice is that it requires a commitment. The idea here is that the lubrication from the eye drop will help prevent dryness, and the blinking with your eyes closed should release meibum (the oil from the meibomian glands) into your tears/artificial tears since the oil has been melted by the hot compress. As soon as you are done with the hot compress (be it with a cloth or in the shower), as soon as possible, sit back on a couch, or lie back on a bed, put a lubricating eye drop in each eye, and blink with your eyes closed for 5-10 minutes. The downside of course is that you need to have a shower to do this.Īnyway, with regards dryness, I'm not certain of the reason, but I have definitely experienced dryness after hot compresses sometimes too.
