Acuvail (ketorolac) "Have dry eye and use drops. I found months after cataract surgery pressure around peripheral sides and bottom of eyelids, nothing helped much to alleviate the pressure. Had some Acuvail left over, and out of desperation, I tried some. It worked surprisingly quite well. I checked with my eye surgeon, and he said to continue 1 drop in each eye morning and evening. Good results."

Acular (ketorolac) "I used Acular as prescribed after the first cataract operation with no aftereffects. Unfortunately, when using it, as prescribed, after the second operation, I had an allergic reaction. I am seriously allergic to aspirin, and Acular states that it is unsuitable for people who are aspirin allergic. There must be an alternative that surgeons could prescribe."

"My doctor had me on a dosage of Acular LS of one drop per eye per day. It eliminated my photophobia (sensitivity and pain), which was caused by cornea transplants that I needed to treat my keratoconus. Even though my dosage was 1/4 the normal dosage recommendation, my doctor took me off the Acular LS since a known effect of the medication at normal dosages is thinning of the cornea. I have found no other treatment that helps with my photophobia. This stuff will sting when you use it, but it definitely works. For the time that I used it, I could participate in outdoor activities, view fireworks, basically tolerate normal activities. Without it, I'm confined to a dark hole. So the product is great! Just wish I could continue using it."

"Doctor prescribed and provided ketorolac drops, to be used twice a day, for post-cataract surgery. They did the job they were designed to do, but they burned like heck for 5 or so minutes after use and made it impossible to open my eyes. I am grateful that I only needed them for 4 weeks, but am also concerned about their effect on my cornea. Time, whatever I have left, will tell."
