    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Corticosteroid therapy is linked to posterior subcapsular cataracts. While dose and duration aren't definitive, research clarifies the mechanism behind these drug-induced cataracts.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Corticosteroids are widely used for their anti-inflammatory properties.
    • A documented association exists between corticosteroid use and posterior subcapsular cataracts.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the literature on corticosteroid-induced posterior subcapsular cataracts.
    • To elucidate the mechanism of corticosteroid-induced cataract development.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of published series and individual lens susceptibility data.

    Main Results:

    • Direct correlation between corticosteroid dose/duration and cataract formation remains unestablished.
    • Significant progress made in understanding the mechanism of corticoid-induced opacity development.

    Conclusions:

    • Corticosteroid therapy is a risk factor for posterior subcapsular cataracts.
    • Understanding the pathogenesis of these cataracts offers insights into other cataract types.
