Default name of LASIK Steroid Drops ?

Can anyone tell me the name of the Steroid Drops being prescribed (it seems more the military than civilian docs) by the LASIK docs ?

I think the Steroid Drops offer benefits above and beyond the No-Tear or whatever drops are typically used. (not sure tho)

I plan to get WaveFront Guided LASIK this year and am still in the research mode.

Thanks

Default Somewhat of a guess

ALREX???

"Bausch's second largest business segment. Among Bausch's pharmaceutical products are Lotemax and Alrex, ophthalmic steroids used to treat ocular inflammation,"

Above quote from Bausch & Lomb

I did not have Lasik, but do have this and know it's a steroid. Since it's a steroid, I can:

See and classify wx echos without ATC or onboard radar
see through clothing covering underboob posted to this site
see through walls
