Abstract

Topical corticosteroids are effective anti-inflammatory drugs in the treatment of anterior uveitis. The intraocular efficacy of topical corticosteroids mostly depends on their intraocular permeability through the cornea. Lipophile derivatives such as dexamethasone and prednisolone acetate penetrate better into the anterior chamber than hydrophilic derivatives. Prednisolone acetate 1% is the first choice in the therapy of patients with anterior uveitis. Loteprednole and fluorometholone have a slightly weaker anti-inflammatory effect, but they induce less elevation of intraocular pressure and might be helpful in the treatment of patients with steroid response. Topical corticosteroid therapy has to be individually adapted, depending on the clinical course and severity of uveitis. The most common side effects of topical corticosteroids are corticosteroid-induced glaucoma and corticosteroid-induced cataracts. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs inhibit the enzyme cyclooxygenase that is responsible for the formation of pro-inflammatory prostaglandins. These have an adjunctive role in the treatment and prevention of post-operative inflammation after cataract surgery. A therapeutic role of topical NSAID to treat uveitis and cystoid macular oedema secondary to uveitis has not yet been established.
