Eye Injury, Red Watery Eye. Will Prednisolone Acetate Opthemalic Suspension Help?
Hi, My 7 year son got poked in the eye yesterday and is still complaining about it today....he says he feels like there is something in it. It looks a little red and watery. Does this sound like a scratched cornea? I scratched mine a couple years ago and I still have some Prednisolone Acetate opthemalic suspension. Would this help it heal?

Hi
Prednisolone is steroid which will hamper the healing of the cornea if it is a corneal abrasion. You are advised never to use steroid containing medicines on your own. Please seek proper eye consultation as the feeling that something is there could be some foreign body in the eye.
