Hi, i'm looking for any info about switching from prednisolone to dexamethasone eye drop in general. Is there any different between them because I couldn't find study that said one better than other? Thx for any help.

Dex is way more potent than prednisolone

He probably means dexamethasone 0.1% vs prednisolone 1%; not the same concentration

right, those are the concentrations. I should be clearer. Anyway, I just told them dex was similar efficacy to pred but more side effects.

I'd say the difference in efficacy between the two is both clinically and statistically insignificant.
