Doctor has prescribed ocupol dx ointment. I am currently on atropine 0.1% drops also. Will it cause any problems?

Atropine can cause dilatation and ciliary muscle paralysis. This will cause glare and defective near vision. Effects of atropine can be reversed only by two weeks. Ocupol dx is a steroid antibiotic ointment. It is not advisable to continue steroids for a long time.
