Summary

Steroid-induced glaucoma from topical dexamethasone or prednisolone can mimic chronic open-angle glaucoma. Discontinuing steroids and using glaucoma medication restored normal intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Pharmacology

Context:

  • Steroid-induced glaucoma is a significant concern with topical corticosteroid use.
  • Topical corticosteroids like dexamethasone and prednisolone are commonly prescribed for ocular conditions.

Purpose:

  • To analyze cases of steroid-induced glaucoma resulting from topical dexamethasone or prednisolone administration.
  • To describe the clinical presentation, management, and outcomes of steroid-induced glaucoma.

Summary:

  • Fifteen cases (26 eyes) of steroid-induced glaucoma were identified between 1970-1990.
  • Patients averaged 28 years old; most cases presented with chronic open-angle glaucoma-like features.
  • Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) and increased cup-to-disc (C/D) ratios were common findings.

Impact:

  • Immediate discontinuation of topical steroids is crucial for managing steroid-induced glaucoma.
  • Most patients achieve normalized IOP within months to a year after treatment cessation.
  • This study highlights the importance of monitoring IOP in patients using topical corticosteroids.
