Eye Surgery, Durezol Accidentally Put On Good Eye. Alphagan, Dorzolamide, Xalatan Used For Good Eye. Advise?

I can't ask my doctor because the office is closed (Sunday). I'm suppose to take durezol every hour while awake in my eye that I had surgery on every hour but I accidentally put a drop in the good eye. I put twice a day in my good eye alphagan and dorzolamide and at night xalatan. Will something bad happen to my good eye?

Ophthalmologist,  's  Response
Hi Friend I am Dr Bilal and I am an Ophthalmologist .
Welcome to Health Care Magic and thanks for writing to us .
I would like to answer your question and your satisfaction is my goal .

First of all , I would like to tell you that there is nothing to worry right now . Durezol eye drops contain difluprednate , which is a steroid , and it prevents release of substances that causes inflammation . Putting one drop accidentally in the good eye will not harm your good eye . As mentioned by you that you are using xalatan , alphagan and dorzolamdie eye drops in your good eye , means that you have glaucoma . For that matter , you should not be using durezol in your good eye because durezol is not used in cases of glaucoma . Right now , nothing to worry , until or unless you feel sudden vision changes , pain behind eye , severe headache , redness , irritation in your good eye .
I hope that you will find my answer helpful .
Good luck .
Best regards .
