Ocular Corticosteroids

Ocular corticosteroids are medications used to reduce inflammation in the eyes. They work by suppressing the immune response, which helps alleviate symptoms caused by conditions like allergies, infections, or autoimmune diseases. Often available as drops, ointments, or pills, these medications can provide relief from redness, swelling, and discomfort. However, they may have side effects, such as increased eye pressure or cataracts, especially with long-term use. It's important to use ocular corticosteroids under a doctor’s guidance to ensure safe and effective treatment.
