You are responding well. My doctor still has me using Pred Forte twice a day since my trab on November 14th. I won't see him until next month. I am worried about the Pred Forte raising my pressure, and am thinking about cutting it to once a day now, and every other day in a week. I have no inflammation.
Some people like to leave patients on a bit of steroid forever.
Might keep you from scarring your surgery closed. I would not worry about the risk of elevated pressure if you have a functioning trabeculectomy. Remember that it is a balancing act between allowing some healing and yet keeping your eye leaky. It can be difficult sometimes. The downsides are that the pressure goes up for a bit while you are pushing.
