Ophthalmic Steroids

Ophthalmic steroids are a class of synthetic corticosteroid medications formulated for topical, periocular, or intraocular administration to manage ocular inflammation and immune-mediated conditions Clinically, these agents are utilized across anterior- and posterior-segment disorders, including uveitis, severe allergic or inflammatory conjunctivitis, keratitis, post-surgical inflammation, and retinal pathologies such as macular edema
