Smile surgery medication doubt
Hi, I recently got smile surgery done for my eyes. Doctor had prescribed prednisolone acetate ophthalmic suspension drops. It was to be put 4 times on the first week, 3 times the second, 2 times the third week and 1 time on the 4th week.
However I have 3 more days to go to complete the course and I now realise that the drops are over and it's late at night and medical shops aren't open at my place. Is it okay to skip it today?
And should I take drops from tomorrow for 2-3 days or stop it completely now?
Thanks

It may not matter to miss a dose or two but you should always contact the treating doctor who os responsible for the outcomes. Contract between a doctors and a patient must be respected by all. I would desist from adding more in the matter.
