What Experts Say

This drop pairs fluorometholone, a mild corticosteroid that calms eye inflammation, with neomycin, an antibiotic that covers many common eye bacteria. Together they treat inflamed eyes while guarding against infection.

Eye specialists prescribe steroid antibiotic combinations for short periods, because a steroid alone can worsen an untreated infection. Fluorometholone is a milder steroid that tends to raise eye pressure less than stronger ones.

Prolonged steroid use in the eye can still raise pressure and affect the lens, so the course should not be extended without advice. Any pain, vision change or worsening redness should be reported, and lenses removed during treatment.
