Fluorometholone eye drops are a type of corticosteroid medication used to treat certain eye conditions caused by inflammation or injury. They work by relieving symptoms such as swelling, redness, and itching. Some common eye conditions that can be treated with fluorometholone eye drops include:

• Allergic conjunctivitis
• Inflammation of the cornea and anterior segment of the globe
• Inflammation of the palpebral and bulbar conjunctiva

Fluorometholone eye drops should only be used as directed by a doctor and are not for long-term use. Patients should wash their hands before and after using the medication, and avoid wearing contact lenses while using the drops. If a patient misses a dose, they should use it as soon as possible, but not use double or extra doses. Fluorometholone eye drops can cause side effects, including increased pressure within the eyes, which can sometimes lead to glaucoma, cataracts, or vision problems. Patients should talk to their doctor if they experience any side effects or have any concerns about using fluorometholone eye drops.
