Is There Any Substitute For Fluorometholone Using To Prevent Cornea Transplant Rejection?

I was at my pharmacy yesterday to get a refill of fluorometholone which I use to prevent rejection of a cornea transplant. I was told by the pharmacy that this drug is difficult to obtain because it is not being produced anymore. I went online to see if I could find any more information on that issue. I found nothing. What is happening with this drug?
