Steroid treatment for ocular inflammation

Steroid treatment for ocular inflammation involves using medications that help reduce swelling, redness, and discomfort in the eye. These steroids, often in the form of eye drops or pills, work by dampening the immune response that causes inflammation. This is important because uncontrolled inflammation can lead to vision problems or damage to the eye. Doctors prescribe this treatment based on the specific type of inflammation and its severity, carefully balancing the benefits against potential side effects to ensure the best outcome for the patient’s eye health.
