LPRED eye drops
Hi,
I was suffering from mild eye redness and mild inflammation in my eyes, doctor suggested me L-PRED eye drops like 4 drops a day for 1 week ,3 drops a day 1 week, 2 drops a day for 2 weeks and, 1 drop a day for 2 week. I am feeling better after a month now as doctor suggested still 1 drop a day for 1 week left.
Shall I continue for 1 drop a day for 1 week or shall i stop it now as Iam feeling better.
And does LPRED eye drops increase eye pressure and does it has major side effects?
Please suggest
Thanks
