Brief Answer:
it is a steroid eye drop.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.
Flurmethalone is a steroid based eye drop. Systemic side effects are rare, though not unlikely.
After reading your post, I would suggest that you should consult your treating doctor about the symptoms and change of medicine.
Instead, Flurbiprofen, a non steroid anti inflammatory eye drop can be used after discussing with your doctor.
I hope this is helpful to you. If you have any further query, I will be happy to help.
Regards. Thanks.
