"I am at an advanced stage of Keratoconus and can no longer see out of one eye. My eye hurts considerably every morning, but the Lotemax drops help with pain. The only side effect I had was a mild rash on my chin."

"My doctor originally prescribed Lotemax. I almost fell off the chair when I was told the price. I asked my doctor if he could prescribe Loteprednol Etabonate instead. He did, and I was much happier with a $10 copay."

"I was prescribed Lotemax following PRK surgery. I had no problems or side effects. My ophthalmologist said it was also useful for allergic reactions of the eye (painful swelling and burning). So I have continued to use it for that purpose. My only side effect is blurred vision for about 5 to 10 minutes after I use it. Otherwise, this is a wonderful solution to inflammation and burning of the eye."

"Lotemax SM Ophthalmic Gel 5g. I used the product after cataract surgery with no problems. The one question you can’t find an answer to is how many drops are in that 5g / 10ml bottle. FYI, I got 103 drops."

"I've been using this for about 3 months; initially for post-surgery and then for my dry eye. I don't have a baseline to compare with, but I can say that during the treatment period, my eyes barely swelled up. I have a bad habit, especially during the drier season, to rub my eyes because of irritation. But since I started using this, I noticed I stopped rubbing my eyes. Definitely worth trying these eye drops out."

"I had scarring on my eye after having pink eye for a few days. My doctor gave me a sample of this medication and advised me to take it 4x a day for 2 weeks to help repair the scarring on my eye and light sensitivity. I noticed immediate relief after my first drop, and my eyes were not sensitive to light anymore after using. I will say that this medication is a bit thick and has a gel consistency, so it is a little tough to apply at first. I experienced no side effects besides my eye crying after the first drop. I’m hoping to not run out of the sample before my 2 weeks is up because the doctor did mention it is an expensive medicine. The sample bottle is small."

"This medicine, Lotemax SM 0.38%, did a great job from the first drop application. After seven days, 14 drops, on the inflamed eye, it became very good and no more redness nor feeling scratchy. This medicine is magical. I had undergone surgery with three procedures on this eye months ago, but it never got as good as the other eye did, which had the same procedure a month before this one. Hope it will be as good to you."

"I have not had a good experience with this. Very difficult to get in eye, leaves my eyes as if something is in my eyes, and I find that I do not want to use it as doctor prescribed because of feeling something is in eye. Will ask for a liquid steroid eyedrop."

"They are easy to put in. Don't forget to shake the bottle before instilling the drop. I noticed my eyelashes lengthening with continued use."

"I had the drops instead of gel, which was a welcome change to this medicine, and only twice a day!"
