Hello As it is prescribed by doctor, following a strict protocol of tapering dosages (mostly after every week) of fluorometholone eye drop minimises the side-effects because of the eye drop. Basically, no abrupt start or stop of eye drop. Only follow the prescription by your doctor. Hope thay helps. Thank you!
