Corticosteroid-induced glaucoma mimics open-angle glaucoma and is linked to steroid treatment. Key risk factors include genetics, diabetes, myopia, age, and steroid administration details.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Pharmacology

Context:

  • Corticosteroid-induced glaucoma is a common condition.
  • It presents clinically similarly to chronic open-angle glaucoma.
  • It is directly associated with corticosteroid medication use.

Purpose:

  • To outline the etiology and risk factors of corticosteroid-induced glaucoma.
  • To differentiate it from primary open-angle glaucoma.

Summary:

  • Corticosteroid-induced glaucoma results from corticosteroid treatment.
  • Four primary risk factors contribute to its hypertonic effect: genetic predisposition (including primary open-angle glaucoma, diabetes, myopia, and young age), intraocular penetration and anti-inflammatory efficacy of the steroid, and the method and duration of administration.
