Reaction to prednisolone after cataract surgery

I started prednisolone and moxifloxacin drops 3 days before surgery. I had extreme itching. I continued it after my surgery 2 days ago. I now have a large amount of sticky discharge and eyes glue shut after sleep. I saw an optometrist in same practice bc I thought it might be mox drops. She called surgeon and he advised using artificial tears every 2 hours. It just got worse yesterday so I stopped prednisolone last night. Symptoms went away. I am worried bc I am not using a steroid for inflammation. Today is a holiday and tomorrow is Sunday. Any suggestions?
