Hi Lisa,

I thought that the Pred that I had was clear. Check that the batch is in date!

Odd. That probably explains the vision cloudyness for a minute or so after use. :oops: I must have just imagined it to be clear :roll: .

Hehe yes it is supposed to be white! it is a milky suspension so don't panic!! LOL!! I actually kinda liked it that colour as it looked soothing to me and was a thicker consistency than clear solutions :lol: :wink:

:D

You have no idea how much sympathy you can get when you don't clean up the trickle of white 'tear' that stains your cheek!

It looks far more sympathetic than the luminous yellow stuff that cascades down the KC face after an optometry appointment.
