Ocular side-effects of topical corticosteroids: what a dermatologist needs to know

The Australasian Journal of Dermatology
Benjamin S Daniel, David Orchard

Abstract

Topical corticosteroids are used frequently in dermatology and atopic dermatitis without significant adverse effects. Though ocular diseases such as glaucoma and cataracts are known complications of systemic corticosteroids, the role of topical corticosteroids is limited to case reports. This review assesses the literature regarding topical steroids and their role in ocular diseases. There is evidence of harm to vision when potent topical corticosteroids are inappropriately used for prolonged periods to periorbital sites. There is no evidence to date that weak TCS to the face or potent TCS to areas other than the eyes results in ocular complications. Further research trials are required in this area.
