Lotemax & Dry eye

[Betty39]

I've noticed for the past week since I started my lotemax and restatis that my eyes feel even drier. I have been sticking to my regimine and the weather hasn't been any drier so I'm wondering if it could be the drops. I think I read on the lotemax that dry eyes was a side effect. I'm only on the lotemax another 3 weeks. Could it be that these drops make your eyes drier before it improves them?

Lotemax is commonly prescribed to help reduce post-surgery inflammation. It is always possible that something like a steroid could contribute to dry eyes, but the reduction of inflammation is important. Stick to your doctor's instructions, but notify your doctor if your difficulties.

the doctor prescribed it because he said it would make the restatis work better. does that sound right?
