Flarex (fluorometholone) caused some vision loss, what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Problems : A careful consultation by an ophthalmologist would be imperative. Flarex™ is a topical ocular steroid that has important potential side effects, one of which is steroid induced glaucoma, an irreversible form of blindness. Another one is steroid induced cataract, which is a reversible form of vision loss. An ophthalmologist will evaluate and treat accordingly.
