Prednisolone is an eye medication commonly used to treat eye inflammation and allergic reactions. It is a glucocorticoid drug that can reduce eye swelling, redness and pain. You must follow your doctor's advice when using it and use it correctly according to the prescription. During use, side effects such as blurred vision, burning or stinging may occur. If you experience serious discomfort, please inform your doctor immediately. When prednisolone eye drops are not suitable for use with contact lenses, contact lenses must be removed before use. During storage, keep away from light and keep medicines dry. If you have any questions or concerns, please ask your doctor or pharmacist.
Instructions for use: Please wash your hands before use, gently pull down the lower eyelid, apply the ointment to the lower eyelid bag on the inside of the eye, and then close the eyes and gently press the eye to help the distribution of the drug. Avoid contact with the surface of the eyeball when using. The daily frequency of use is based on the physician's instructions, usually 1-2 times a day. Avoid wearing contact lenses while using this medication.
Dosage Guidelines: The starting dose for adults is usually 1-2 drops per day. The dose can be adjusted according to the severity of the condition and the recommendation of the physician. The dosage for children needs to be determined based on age and weight. Usually the starting dosage is 1 drop per day, and the doctor will adjust it according to the condition. If you have any discomfort or questions during use, you should consult a physician immediately. Use this medication exactly as directed by your doctor or pharmacist, and do not adjust your dose or stop using it.
PREDNISOLONE (eye drops) may cause eye side effects including blurred vision, eye stinging, congestion, dry eyes and increased sensitivity. Long-term use may cause serious problems such as glaucoma, cataracts or corneal scarring. If eye redness, swelling, increased discharge, pain, or vision changes occur, discontinue use immediately and consult a physician. Do not exceed the dosage and duration recommended by your doctor to avoid exacerbating side effects.

Medication contraindications refer to situations where a patient should not use a specific medication to avoid possible serious health effects. For PREDNISOLONE (ophthalmic use), the following conditions are contraindicated:
1. Patients with allergic reactions to PREDNISOLONE or other steroids should avoid using this drug, which may cause severe allergic reactions, including itchy skin, urticaria, difficulty breathing, etc.
2. If the patient has an eye infection, such as conjunctivitis or keratitis, PREDNISOLONE eye drops should be avoided because steroids may worsen the infection and make treatment more difficult.
