I Am Having Cataract Surgery On 1.17.17. I Am Just
I am having cataract surgery on 1.17.17. I am just now reading the literature and instructions that came with the eye drops.
The prescriptions the office called to my drugstore were for:
Ciprofloxacin 0.3 % OP SOL 5 ML-EYE beginning 3 days prior, 1 drop 4 times daily
Ketorolat 0.5% ophth soon 10 ml 3 days prior to surgery 1 drop in operative eye twice a day
The Literature from the surgeons office indicate that I should take Besivance 4 times a day, 3 ays prior
and Prolensa Once per day, 3 days prior.
This is very confusing and I did not realize the discrepancy until today and his office is closed.
I am guessing that the Ciprofloxacin is a generic for Besivance and the Ketorolac is a generic for Prolensa.
Is this a correct assumption?
And if it is correct there is still a discrepancy in the dosage listed on the pre surgery literature from his office and the instructions that came with the eye drops. Wondering what to do.
