Hi. It’s not like everyone who uses steroids eye drop will have severe IOP rise. And steroids should be tapered and stopped. Sudden stop of steroids can reactivate the redness, swelling, reactions. So i recommend you to consultant an eye clinic again and also to use ocupol dx ointment over your upper and lower eyelids too. 3td in first 5days, 2 times the next week and make it once daily for a week and stop it. Use good hydrating moisturiser over you eyelids too, fragrance free. And do you have thyroid issues? Get your thyroid profile done.
