Should I Complete The Eye Drop Course Or Discontinue If I Feel Better?

Hi! I had an eye procedure done for pressure behind my right eye. I have to get the left eye done also. The eye drops cost $83.00 and such a small bottle. I was to put 1 drop for 4 days but I only put drops for 2 days and my eye felt just fine. I wanted to save the rest for my other eye. Do you feel what I did was O.K. Thank You, Gloriann

Hello
It seems from the history that you had underwent surgery for pressure behind the eye probably for glaucoma.
Following surgery you are advised to use eye drops, and this eye drops need to be used as advised to prevent complications like inflammation following surgery, raise of pressure following surgery.
Hence I advice you to continue eye drops as advised and do consult your doctor for further advice.

Thank you
