Are there any subtstitute for betamethasone eyedrops after lasik eye surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: it is customary to use steroid eye drops for several days after lasik surgery. There are several different brands of steroids that can be used. There are typically no adverse systemic effects from the steroid drops, as the amount of steroid used is quite small and the duration of treatment is usually short.
