Maxidex Eye Drops In The Treatment Of Uveitis Who Else Had Side Effects From Maxidex?

Who else had side effects from Maxidex? - maxidex eye drops in the treatment of uveitis

My mother was prescribed Maxidex in the period after the operation on the package he had only one eye after cataract surgery to see blurry, almost nothing after the first day of the surgery if Maxidex started with eye drops. The doctor said he had also had glaucoma before the operation, which explains why she now looks good.

Maxidex is a steroid that is prescribed to reduce frequent use after eye surgery to intraocular inflammation. Steroids are blurred double-edged sword that excessive inflammation can lead to vision or intraocular pressure (IOP). Elevated intraocular pressure, optic nerve damage or cause glaucoma. But steroids can also lead to high pressure. This balance is one of the things surgeons have treated eyes at regular intervals after surgery.

As someone who has glaucoma, is that balance is even more difficult: it is a high pressure or inflammation of steroids? If the inflammation, then the steroid treatment is good and the suspension could become permanent loss of vision.

There is no way a person other than ophthalmologist decide to suspend the steroid drops after the surgery. The bad, what should be done to allow the drops without first consulting an ophthalmologist to.

Second rates may lead to the surgeon to vision loss. However, a second opinion from another ophthalmologist can often lead to ensure, that the right treatment is recommended.

We hope that this is helpful.
