Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Pharmacology

Context:

  • Corticosteroids are frequently prescribed for ocular inflammatory and immunological conditions.
  • Administration routes include topical, periocular injection, and systemic methods.

Purpose:

  • To review the applications, contraindications, and ocular side effects of corticosteroid use in ophthalmology.
  • To highlight the importance of monitoring for adverse events.

Summary:

  • Topical corticosteroids are primarily for anterior segment diseases (conjunctivitis, keratitis, anterior uveitis).
  • Posterior uveitis requires systemic or local injectable corticosteroid treatment.
  • Herpetic keratitis is a contraindication for corticosteroid therapy.

Impact:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Ocular side effects such as posterior subcapsular cataract, elevated intraocular pressure (glaucoma), impaired corneal wound healing, and infection exacerbation can occur.
  • These adverse effects may not be reversible upon discontinuation of corticosteroids.
  • Regular ophthalmic examinations are essential for early detection and management of corticosteroid-induced ocular complications.
