Prednisolone or Pred Forte drops would typically be prescribed after cataract surgery wouldn't they? It's a corticosteroid eye drop available only on prescription and also often used to treat bacterial eye conditions involving inflammation of the tissue around the eye itself.
You should be extremely careful when using the same bottle for both eyes lest you transfer an infection from one site to the other. Were you being prescribed the drops for some ailment such as conjunctivitis, it would be sensible to use two separate bottles marked left and right.
The underlying condition leading to the requirement for Prednisolone eye drops might perhaps be of interest to your AME. The drops themselves, in the short term, should cause no more than short term blurred vision.

Not an Ophthalmologist or even a purveyor of spectacles, just a visionary in the
world of Rorschach.
