Ophthalmic Steroids Drugs Market Research by Key players, Type and Application, Future Growth to 2026

Ophthalmic steroids are medicines that mainly contain corticosteroids. Corticosteroids are a class of steroid hormones that are produced in the adrenal gland of the body. Ophthalmic steroids are used to provide relief for inflammation and symptoms such as swelling, pain, redness, or irritation of the eyes. They are prescribed as drops, ointments, creams, or gels that can be administered into or around the eyes. The most important indication for steroid eye drops is anterior uveitis. The drops are used to minimize the inflammatory response within the eyes and prevent its reoccurrence that may result in cataract, glaucoma, and blindness. Ophthalmic steroids may cause side effects such as stinging, blurred vision, burning sensation, glaucoma, and cataracts. The degree of side effects is different in each patient. Therefore, treatment has to be individualized with the aim of using a minimal effective dose for a minimal time. Penetration of steroid depends on the drugs and mode of administration. For example, hydrocortisone penetrates the cornea better than prednisolone. Steroids may be prescribed in combination with one or more types of antibiotics for the treatment of infections and inflammation of the eyes. This combination works synergistically where the steroids reduce inflammation and antibiotics treat or prevent infection.
