I now take one drop per day. Besides that I used lots of artificial tears and lubricants. I was originally treated for map dot fingerprint dystrophy. But recently I was diagnosed with Thygeson. For the Thygeson I take the steroids. To the best of my knowledge the steroids are not meant to have the extra effect to clear the vision. The artificial tears should do that better (and you can use that more often). Indeed Everything goes into the bloodstream and the body. Sometimes I can taste the steroid in my throat even.
