Following four eye surgeries (catarach and subsequent detatched retina) I have had what feels like ants crawling in my right eye, swollen, red eye lid and watery eye. I was perscsribed Lotemax, which worked almost immediately, but was told by my doctor that this med. was not for long term use as it may cause glaucoma.

Since they switched from suspension to gel, had extreme side effects. Severe shooting pain and blown blood vessels after using the gel formula for a month or so. Used the suspension formula for a couple of years and no side effects and that worked great! Price of the gel which only last 18 days is outrageous from the suspension.

Used along with Prolensa and Besivance following cataract surgery and IOL implants. Worked well but thick and leaves a residue in the corners of the eye that can become dry and irritating. Surgeon stated to irrigate between times of drops with artificial tears if needed to wash out excess, being careful not to do so too close to application of the gel. Worked great for me.

Right eye done three weeks ago shows close to 20/20 vision and hoping left eye done this week will do as well.

I was prescribed Lotemax .5 to treat Giant Papillary Conjuntivitis (GPC). The dosage is 4x's daily for 5 days, then 2x's daily for 5 days. Yesterday 9/1/2012 was my first day using and only instilled 3x's since I filled the Rx in late afternoon. When I woke in the morning my left eyelid was swelled so bad and I am wondering if this is a sign that the meds are working? The left eyelid is the one suffering more severely with GPC, the right lid just had the normal puffiness that I've been experiencing, so I would expect that if I was allergic to this med, that both lids would have swelled the same. I've also been prescribed Patanol which was started on 8/27/2012 - instill 2x's daily and was told to continue with both meds to try and knock this out. I've instilled the Patanol to see if it would take the swelling down since it is an antihistimine-after about 20 mins it appears to have helped a bit. I am going to wait another hr or so to see if the swelling subsides before taking the Lotemax. My GPC was diagnosed on 8/27/12, however I suspect this started about 4 wks prior to that and was initially prescribed Vigamox to treat pink-eye. It wasn't until 8/27 that the Dr flipped my eyelid to discover GPC was present. My vision remains unaffected through all this, the eyelids are the main issue with swelling and itchiness. Discharge is minimal. I've discontinued using my contacts since 8/27. This is my first episode ever with GPC. I will update on my progress with Lotemax - however, so far, not impressed - I guess I was hoping for an overnight miracle instead of a left eyelid almost swelled shut.
