I had a Retinal detachment in my right eye on Jan.10, after that i had my Scleral Buckling Surgery + Cryotherapy + Gas Under Guarded Visual Prognosis on 8.01.010. After 1 month of surgery i again had a retinal detachment. On 13.02.10 i had my second surgery done in which Silicon oil was placed in to my eyes. Doctor prescribed me steroid "Omnacortil" for 12 days but it had a very bad side effects. I felt pain on my left side of the body specially in my left leg with Red spots on it. I just wanted to know how much time this pain will be there. My Dr. told me that it will go after some time.

Dear Dr. Praveen,

First of all thanks so much for your valuable advice, i had completed my 12 days dose of omnacortil which my surgeon advised me after 12 days it was happened. I had a talk with my surgeon on this & he told me that this will go with in some time. The new medicines what he priscribed me is

Iopran SR (Its a old medicine & he told me to continue it.
FML-T eye drops 4 times in a day for4 weeks(New Eye drop)
0.5% Glucomal 2 times in a day for a week ( Old eye drop & he told me to continue it)
Refresh Tears 4 times in day for 1 week.

Once again thanks for your advice

Dear Mr Naidu,
Oral steroids (omnacortil) are commonly given if condition warrants .
If it is causing some sideeffects please consult your surgeon again to change from oral medication to either systemic or peribubar steroids.
Please don't stop med of your own , it may harm you more.
With regards
Dr Mongre.
