A member asked:
I get eczema around my eyes, fml (fluorometholone) ointment helps alleviate symptoms. how often is it safe to use this for the prescribed 10 days, 2x a day?

Eczema recurrent : Yes, this is generally safe to use. But, all of us would be wary of prolonged use...Especially if you are not recovering rapidly and the spots do not stay away very long. You may need other medication if these spots do not resolve and stay resolved for a reasonable amount of time.

Monthly: You could use FML (fluorometholone) 10 days a month but you should have your intraocular pressure checked every few months if you do this every month. Consider a second opinion for treatment options.
