Description of adverse effects
Prolonged use of topical ophthalmic corticosteroids may lead to increased intraocular pressure with optic nerve damage, decreased visual acuity and visual field disorders, formation of posterior subcapsular cataract and delayed healing (see section 4.4).
The development of secondary infections has occurred after the use of corticosteroids (see section 4.4).
In pathologies causing thinning of the cornea or sclera, perforations have been reported during the use of local corticosteroids (see section 4.4).
A few rare cases of corneal calcification have been reported in association with the use of drops containing phosphates in certain patients with severely damaged corneas.
