Have a query?

I am using prescribed Lotel and Iflomax eye gel for pink eye, which is almost gone after a month, but my vision is now blurry. Are these eye gels causing the blurriness, and do I need to change my medication?

Blurred vision may sometimes occur while using eye gels, such as Iflomax, because gel-based medicines stay on the surface of the eye longer and may temporarily make vision hazy after application. This effect usually improves after some time. However, Lotel contains loteprednol, a steroid medicine, and prolonged steroid use may occasionally increase eye pressure, delay healing, or contribute to other eye problems that can also affect vision. Since your pink eye has mostly improved after a month, the blurriness should not be ignored, especially if it persists or worsens. It is important not to stop or change the medicines on your own without consulting your eye doctor. The doctor may need to check your eye pressure, cornea, and vision to determine whether the blur is due to the gel, dryness, healing changes, or a side effect of steroid treatment. Try using the gel exactly as prescribed and avoid activities requiring clear vision immediately after applying it. If you develop eye pain, severe redness, worsening blur, light sensitivity, or a headache, you should consult an eye doctor promptly for evaluation.
