I have had six weeks' treatment with this drug following cataract surgery. Thankfully my surgical center recommended to keep it in the refrigerator to reduce the stinging.

Prescribed after cataract surgery-get awful taste in mouth that can't get rid of! Even coffee tastes bad! Gives me a migraine like (not as bad) headache & nauseated from it..? Makes vision blurry.
