  • Title: Corticosteroids in ophthalmology.
    Author: Pleyer U, Sherif Z.
    Journal: Ernst Schering Res Found Workshop; 2002; (40):65-81. PubMed ID: 12355729.
    Abstract:
    Corticosteroids are, even 50 years after introduction in ophthalmology, the best, and often only choice of treatment for acute inflammatory eye disorders. Their broad spectrum of actions may not only explain the greater potency compared with other anti-inflammatory agents but also be responsible for multiple serious side effects. For future developments, several directions may be chosen including development of safer drugs with high therapeutic index and application of long-term drug-release systems.
