How many weeks of FML (fluorometholone) drops require after PRK.

Question

I had prk 2 months before. Past 6 months onwards i am using FML eye drops. But i am getting epitheal erossions. Thats why one of my doctor said FML is not require more than 6 weeks so you can stop. And another one suggesting need to use FML 10 weeks. How many weeks of FML is sufficient

Lourens van Zyl, MBChB · Answer

FML can be stopped after 2 weeks if there is no inflammation.  You are getting a toxicity from the drops most probably from the preservatives.  I would suggest you stop the drops and see your Eye Surgeon as soon as possible
