Fluorometholone is a corticosteroid eye drop used to reduce inflammation in various eye conditions, but it is not typically the first-line treatment for pink eye (conjunctivitis), particularly if it is caused by a viral or bacterial infection. Using corticosteroids like fluorometholone in infectious conjunctivitis can worsen the infection or delay healing. It's important to consult a healthcare professional for the appropriate treatment based on the specific cause of pink eye.

Can the eye drop fluorometholone be used long term?
Fluorometholone, aka FML, is a very weak steroid drop. Most clinicians say it has the effectiveness of water, but it is very safe to use and yes it can be used long term.
