What Experts Say

Florom is a fluorometholone eye drop. This corticosteroid stops the body from releasing chemicals that cause swelling, redness and itching on the eye surface. It is often used after eye irritation or allergy has been diagnosed by a doctor. Improvement in redness and irritation is often seen within days.

Ophthalmologists like it for short term surface inflammation because pressure changes are usually milder than with dexamethasone. Pressure can still rise, so review visits matter. Following the exact schedule matters, as stopping suddenly can allow swelling to return. Doctors usually review the eye again within about two weeks.

These drops are not suitable for eye infections, particularly herpes or fungal ones. Treatment length is set by the eye doctor and should not be extended without advice. Anyone with glaucoma in the family should mention it before starting. Never share the bottle, since eye infections spread easily between people, and replace it after four weeks.
