Could Eye Drops Really Be Dangerous In The First Few Weeks Of Conception?

Hi,
I had PRK surgery done about 3 weeks ago and have to be on FML forte drops (TID) for another 2 weeks before tapering off. Should I hold off from trying to conceive(which would be in the next days)? Could eye drops really be dangerous in the first few weeks of conception? Thank you!

Hi, I had gone through your query and understood your concerns.

This medication is used to treat certain eye conditions due to inflammation or injury. Fluorometholone works by relieving symptoms such as swelling, redness, and itching. It belongs to a class of drugs known as corticosteroids.

This medication should be used only under compulsory conditions during pregnancy. As you still din't conceive, better to hold off from conceiving until the next two weeks.

Hope this guides you. Thank you
