I am having cataract surgery on the 8th. I am to use Durezol eye drops which is a steroid for inflammation and pain. Any thoughts of using it?

I am not a medical professional, but I wouldn’t think steroid eyedrops would cause any systemic issues.

What WBF said.

I doubt that such a low dose topical steroid would affect your immune system.

Even orally - lyme patients are sometimes given lower dose hydrocortisone if needed.
