Has anyone else experienced severe side effects from Loteprednol 0.2% Ophth Susp 5ml?

I recently had eye surgery and was prescribed Loteprednol 0.2% Ophth Susp 5ml to reduce swelling and inflammation. I've been using it for a week now, but I've experienced some worrying side effects like severe burning and blurred vision and I'm not sure if I should continue using it or if I should contact my doctor. Has anyone else had similar experiences? Are these side effects normal, or should I be concerned? Any advice would be appreciated!

I had a really bad reaction to these drops. It was like my eye was on fire. I had to stop using them immediately. I felt like there was something in my eye every time I put them in.

Burning sensation and blurred vision are listed as possible side effects, but you should definitely contact your doctor to be safe. Better to err on the side of caution.

Did you check if the bottle was properly sealed? Sometimes contamination can cause weird reactions. I'm no doctor though, so take it with a grain of salt.

That sucks, man. Hope you feel better soon. Any idea what your headaches or sensitivity to light are from?
