"Durezol was prescribed by my doctor following cataract surgery in both eyes. I had no problems following surgery, so I assume that Durezol was effective, and it had no side effects that I am aware of at this time."

"I had severe anxiety using Durezol for 3 months after my cornea transplant. Eventually went off it because it caused high eye pressure in the surgery eye, but never associated my anxiety, sleeplessness, and inability to work with this drug. I've been reading about it, and what happened to me has happened to others using Durezol."

"I used Durezol for 2 weeks due to a thyroid problem. Eyes started to retract - very swollen. Durezol worked well for the inflammation, however, my eyesight was extremely impaired from blurriness. Unfortunately, I was no longer able to continue with eye drops."

"I had cataract surgery 9 days ago. Doctor prescribed Ofloxacin, Ketorolac, and Durezol. I have finished the round of Ofloxacin. I’m still using Ketorolac, one drop once a day for 12 more days, and Durezol, 4 times per day for 21 more days. I’m experiencing a tightness in my chest, as well as digestive issues (acid reflux and indigestion). Since I am finished with Ofloxacin, I assume it’s either Ketorolac or Durezol causing these side effects."

"I'm in the process of using Durezol, first for 3 days, twice daily, pre-cataract surgery, now for 2 weeks, twice daily for post-op, and again prescribed 1 dose daily for 2 more weeks. Does this sound excessive considering I have also been prescribed Ilevro, same dosage schedule? I am somewhat concerned with overdosing and causing serious eye damage. Thanks."

"After 9 months of steroid following surgery, I was blessed with a Demodex parasitic mite infection, which I still have 6 months later. I will never take another steroid in my life. It is worse than scabies, I cannot get rid of them. Someone has suggested I try ivermectin tablets and cream, will do some research."

"I was on four drops per day post-op for each eye, tapering by one drop per month. Durezol does its job of controlling inflammation, but even with punctal occlusion, which is supposed to limit absorption by the eye, I experienced systemic side effects including voracious appetite and weight gain, gastric irritation and worsening of reflux, and sleep disturbances. These effects ease as the drug is tapered. Not everyone will experience these side effects, but be aware they can happen."

"I have used Durezol for uveitis and after cataract surgery. For me, it’s awesome. Works very fast. The only downside is it temporarily blurs vision. I know it can cause eye pressure to rise, but luckily, I haven’t had that issue. In comparison to Pred Forte, this is much superior."

"Was prescribed after cataract surgery. The 5 ml bottle was $175. Why so expensive?"

"I had cornea replacement 5 days ago. Now I have itchiness when blinking. Is this normal or a warning sign?"

"My eyes are driving me crazy, they feel like they constantly have a wet fuzz in them, but there is nothing there. Makes me crazy."
