Can Ofloxacin Be Used Instead Of Besivance After A Cataract Surgery?

Hi i will have cataract surgery in a week . I got a hand-out with instuctions to use besivance, durezol and prolensa For 3 days followed by prolensa and durezol for 3 weeks. The Pharmacy gave me ofloxacin instead of besivance and instead of twice a day to use it there times per day. Does this sound right?
