How Long Should Prednisolone Be Continued Post Cataract Surgery?
My eye surgeon prescribed prednisolone after successful cataract removal. She recommended continuing for 4 weeks 3 times a day because of a small amount of pressure. I hada check up today, 4 weeks after surgery and everything is fine and pressure quite normal but the surgeon is not available for a few days to allow reduction of the drops. I know that they shouldn t be stopped immediately but wonder if it would be OK to reduce the drops as don t like taking drugs unnecessarily.

Hi,
Prednisolone acetate for “about four to six weeks post-op.” Its steroid is helpful in reducing inflammation and pressure due to any kind of inflammation.
