Eye Drops

My question is this: Is it okay to use Acular LS for 6 weeks when the bottle says to use for only 4 days?
And, I am using 1% Econopred plus. Taking 1 drop of each 2x day.

I had a detached retina with complications. I had another doctor in a different state perform the 3rd surgery as I wanted a 2nd opinion. Now my original doctor is very cool towards me. When I asked him should I come back. He said, "The other doctor said for you to only see me 2x. I saw you 2x. So you don't need to come back unless you are in pain or have any other problems".

What kind of doctor prescribes drops for 6 weeks without seeing the patient again?  I am concerned because the bottle says to only take for 4 days.

I recommend you to visit your doctor's clinic to get detailed information about how to take acular eye drops & its dosage. A specialist in eye caring will going to suggest you in better way.

You need to decide who is going to take care of you. If you left your surgeon and when to another surgeon that did surgery then you "changed doctors" and your advise should come from the surgeon that did the last operation.

Acular LS is often used for months on end to treat macular edema.
