Corticosteroids are widely used in ophthalmology, but their use requires careful risk-benefit assessment. This review details steroid mechanisms, side effects, and clinical management strategies for ocular conditions.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Pharmacology

Context:

  • Corticosteroids are frequently prescribed for various ocular conditions.
  • The decision to use corticosteroids necessitates a thorough evaluation of individual patient risks and benefits.

Purpose:

  • To review the mechanisms of action of corticosteroids in ocular tissues.
  • To identify common ocular and non-ocular side effects associated with corticosteroid therapy.
  • To provide practical strategies for minimizing adverse effects and outline therapeutic options.

Summary:

  • This review examines the multifaceted applications of corticosteroids in ophthalmology.
  • It delves into the physiological effects, potential adverse events (both local and systemic), and practical management guidelines.
  • Emphasis is placed on balancing therapeutic efficacy with patient safety.
