Abstract:
Within ophthalmology there are many indications for the use of corticosteroids, but the decision to institute steroid therapy always requires careful considerations of the relative risks and benefits in each patient. This review considers the mechanisms of action, the ocular and non-ocular problems encountered when steroids are used, with practical suggestions to minimise their side effects and the therapeutic options for clinical use.
