Voltaren Ophthalmic Eye Drops: Has anyone experienced adverse side effects after using Voltaren 0.1% Ophth Soln 2.5ml for post-surgery recovery?

I used Voltaren 0.1% Ophthalmic Solution after my recent eye surgery for pain and inflammation, but I was pretty concerned about the potential side effects. I read about people experiencing things like burning, stinging, and even more serious issues like changes in eyesight. Has anyone else had similar experiences? How bad were the side effects and how long did they last? Do we just have to grin and bear it, or can we take steps to mitigate them and make the recovery process more comfortable? It'd be reassuring to hear from people who have gone through this and managed well.

I had a terrible experience with Voltaren. I got burning and stinging but it doubled with eye discharge and eye pain. I actually thought I was going blind. Worst experience ever..

This is the perfect solution for a lot of people but it's always good to be aware of potential side issues. If the pain is bad, you should inform your doctor immediately.

I had a lot of stinging when I first started using it, but it went away after a few days, so it might be worth sticking it out. Ask your doctor about it.

I switched to a different eye drop after experiencing some discomfort with Voltaren. If you’re feeling really bad, talk to your doctor about alternatives. Sometimes, a different medication can make a big difference..

I had some minor burning but it went away soon after. The benefits of reducing inflammation and pain were worth it for me. Plus, it seems ever-lasting pain or changes in eyesight only happen in rare cases
