About fluorometholone eye drops

Fluorometholone eye drops are used to treat short-term inflammatory eye conditions. They are usually prescribed by an eye specialist. They contain a corticosteroid (sometimes called a 'steroid') which helps relieve inflammation, redness and irritation.

Before using fluorometholone eye drops

To make sure this is the right treatment for you, before you start using the eye drops it is important that your doctor knows:

• If you have ever had an allergic reaction to any eye drops or other medicine.

• If you think you may have an eye infection.

• If you have damaged corneas.

• If you wear soft contact lenses.

• אם את בהריון או מניקה.

• אם אתה נוטל תרופות אחרות כלשהן. זה כולל כל תרופה שאתה נוטל שניתן לרכוש ללא מרשם, כמו גם תרופות צמחיות ומשלימות.

How to use fluorometholone eye drops

1. שטוף את ידיך היטב לפני השימוש בטיפות.

2. Shake the bottle well and then remove the cap.

3. Tilt your head back a little and pull the lower lid of your eye out to form a pocket.

4. החזק את הבקבוק הפוך קרוב לעין שלך. נסה לא לגעת בעין שלך בזמן שאתה עושה זאת.

5. Apply enough pressure to release one drop into your eye. Only use a second drop if the first drop missed going into your eye.

6. Close your eye for a minute or two and press gently on the side of your nose where the corner of your eye meets your nose. This helps to stop the drop from draining away and keeps it in your eye.

7. חזור על התהליך בעין השנייה אם נאמר לך להשתמש בטיפות בשתי העיניים.

8. החלף את המכסה.

להפיק את המרב מהטיפול שלך

• Before you use the eye drops, read the manufacturer's printed information leaflet from the pack. It will give you more information about the eye drops and will provide you with a full list of the side-effects which you may experience from using them.

• Use the eye drops exactly as your doctor tells you to. Unless you have been told otherwise, use the drops every hour you are awake on the first two days until your symptoms are controlled and then 2-4 times a day for the next few days.

• Fluorometholone eye drops are only meant to be used for a short period of time. Do not use them for longer than one week unless your doctor advises you otherwise. This is because they can cause problems within your eye when used for longer than recommended.

• Take care not to touch the tip of the dropper with your eye, fingers or any other surface. This will help to prevent the risk of infection.

• When first put in, eye drops can cause blurred vision. This should quickly clear but make sure you can see properly before you drive and before you use tools or machines, as otherwise you may put yourself and others at risk.

• If you are using any other eye drops or ointments, leave about ten minutes between applying each one. This is to prevent more liquid going into your eye than it can handle. Otherwise the drops will overflow from your eye and may not have the intended effect.

• אם התסמינים שלך לא משתפרים תוך כמה ימים, או אם הם מחמירים, פנה שוב לרופא שלך.

• If you normally wear contact lenses, do not wear them again until your doctor advises you do so. There are two reasons for this - you should not wear lenses while your eyes are inflamed, and bottles of eye drops contain a preservative which can affect some soft contact lenses.
