Dexamethasone / tobramycin ophthalmic "I was prescribed TobraDex ointment to put on my eyelids after eye surgery. I had a lot of bruising and swelling, and the medication seemed to help. No adverse side effects, but if you get it in your eye, it will blur your vision slightly for a couple of hours (I think due to the greasy consistency more than anything else). My co-pay for a 7-day supply cost $50."

"I was prescribed this medication 4x a day for 4 weeks after cataract surgery. I had pain, stinging, aching, and swollen eyelids but put this down to surgery and healing. After 4 days, breathing was restricted and felt like an asthma attack (I don’t have asthma). The surgeon said that an allergy was impossible, changed the steroid to one without additives. Breathing became worse and I was given antibiotics and Ventolin inhaler. Told I may have COPD. After 3 weeks I stopped the drops, after 2 days breathing started to recover but eyes dry and aching. I had to take the drops again for 4 weeks, I took them again and after 7 days I could not breathe again, I stopped them, my surgeon said again it’s impossible. I had to have the second cataract operation and again used Dexamethasone drops at the surgeon's request, within days my mood was very depressive, aggressive, unable to breathe, bronchospasms. Demanded NSAIDs drops and all was perfect. I just don’t tolerate steroids."
