A member asked:
Hello, why maxitrol eye drops cause cataracts with prolonged use? why it cant be from single drop? please help me?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maxitrol is a steroid which can cause cataracts with long term use. One drop or even using it for week does not put you at risk for cataracts.
