Dexamethasone & Chloramphenicol. Do they cause blurred vision?

[whitedog]

Went down to eye casualty as still had sensitivity and irritation from my cataract op though my vision was clear. No infection but the eye is very dry still. Seems the dry eye drops aren't doing a lot. I need to use my heat mask at least once a day.

They've stopped the Betamethasone I was given after the op and I'm now using Dexamethasone and Chloramphenicol. They also put yellow dye in my eye which blurred my vision.

My vision's been quite blurry since - even this morning, before I started putting the steroids in, it wasn't quite right. I've had steroid drops before but only in my right which has limited vision so I've not been aware of the effects really.

So I'm wondering - is the blur caused by the steroid drops or is it the effects of the yellow dye still? Or are the steroid drops maybe causing my eye to be more dry and consequently blurred?

Was hoping I'd be back at work now but looks like I'll be off for a while yet.

Hello. One of the most side effects is blurred vision. If you have any major concerns, you should call your consultant and tell them.
