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.

 
examples

Pred Forte, Fluorometholone (FML), Lotemax, Alrex, Vexol
