I have a chronic eye condition, which requires steroid eye drops amongst other things. I don't know Dropadex but see it contains dexamethasone. Are they single use drops or does it come in a bottle with preservatives in it? They found with me, that I was allergic to the preservatives in the eye drops, so I have been using single use preservative free eye drops for years. The range is called 'Minims'
Did they tell you to use, for example, 6 drops a day for a few days, then reduce to 4, then reduce gradually for the rest of the fortnight that you used them? Even using for a short period can cause problems with stopping them.
When you go back, they ought to check thoroughly to see what is causing your problem.
Is it your eye balls that are red or just around the edges?

You will see that there are several possible causes. I'm sure they will sort it out eventually!
They reduced [tapered] the steroid drops in the correct way, so that is a good thing.
I'm glad you are going back to the hospital. I would be interested to hear the outcome.
Good luck, Finley

The other drops aren't as critical, so they might just tell you to stop.
