DR. DARLINGTON & DR. MCMANUS - STEROID EYEDROP REGIMEN

8/25/2015

 
Applies to: Dr. Darlington and McManus Techs, Assistants, Clinic Supervisors, Front Office Receptionists, Surgical Counselors, Front Office Leads
 
With the intention of ensuring that our post-operative cataract surgery patients enjoy the best possible comfort with the least possibility of post-operative inflammation, a change has been made to the post-operative steroid regimen.  Going forward, and beginning this week, the new steroid eye drop regimen will be as follows:
 
If Durezol: 1 drop 3 times for 21 days and then 1 drop once per day for 7 days, then D/C
If Pred Forte: 1 drop 3 times a day for 21 days, then 1 drop once per day for 7 days, then  D/C
 
Note:  IT will be updating the PO Patient instruction sheets to reflect this change.  The previous steroid regimen was:
 
If Durezol: 1 drop 3 times for 7 days and then I drop 2 times a day for 14 days, then D/C
If Pred Forte: 1 drop 3 times a day for 21 days, then D/C
 
There are no changes in terms of the antibiotic eye drops or the NSAID eye drops.
