Topical steroid
|
| IN BRIEF |
|
Eyedrops often prescribed in the early healing period after laser eye surgery to promote healing, and prescribed to treat some complications.
|
| |
| DISCUSSION |
|
Topical steroids raise intraocular pressure and therefore it is important to take them only under the supervision of an ophthalmologist and not for a prolonged period unless advised to do so.
