ECONOPRED PLUS

ECONOPRED PLUS

I had cataract surgery May 25,06 and it failed.  The Dr had given me Econopred Plus the day after surgery  (I could read every line on the chart) and after using it for 2 weeks, I noticed it had expired 2 years ago.  My sight in that eye has gotten progressivly worse.  Is it because the Econopred Plus did not do the job it was intended????  And is there a procedure to get my normal sight back.

HIGHLY UNLIKELY to be caused by any medication or expired medication.  besides, there are about 1000+ ways that a surgery can "fail".  each one of those scenarios would have a totally different possibility or procedure for "getting your normal sight back".  not enough information here.  to narrow it down, you need to know what happened to your own eye and why the procedure was a "failure".

i am not a doctor, but i noticed some expiration dated, the year first , example: 2006/04 or expired on year 2006 month of april, we might thought expired on 2004.
then about ECONOPRED PLUS-it had steroid, some might be more sensitive to that, and it will caused or increase PRESSURE to your eye.

no.  a person is either a steroid responder or they are not.  they will either have high pressure from steroids or they wont.  it makes no difference if it is "expired" or not.  

expired steroids are NOT more likely to cause increased pressure.

the only reasons meds expire is b/c the drug companies cant guarantee their sterility/potency past the expiration date.  THATS IT.  an expired drug is just no longer guaranteed to be sterile and may not work as well.  it has nothing to do with "being more sensitive" or whatever.
