Hello
Welcome to Health care magic.
I reviewed your history. It seems from the history that you are having itching and pain in the eye. Flurometholone is a steroid eye drop and t should be strictly used only under supervision of a ophthalmologist as it is associated with potential side effects.
You can use artificial tears eye drops for symptomatic relief.
If the symptoms does not resolve you need to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
Hope this is helpful to you.
Thank you
