Hello,
Ocuflur eye drops are safe enough to be put in the eyes and are nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory eye drops indicated to bring down swelling from associated inflammation. I guess you can continue with the prescribed eye drops.Some amount of burning sensation is acceptable and a known side effect of ocuflur.
