Indications

Steron Eye Drop 0.10% is indicated for:

• Ocular inflammation due to uveitis, keratitis, conjunctivitis, and scleritis

• Postoperative eye inflammation following cataract, corneal, or other ocular surgeries

• Allergic eye conditions causing redness, itching, and swelling

• Management of inflammatory responses associated with eye injuries or infections, as advised by an ophthalmologist

This eye drop is suitable for adults and children under medical supervision, offering rapid symptomatic relief while controlling underlying inflammation.

Mechanism of Action

Dexamethasone in Steron Eye Drop is a glucocorticoid receptor agonist. Its mechanism includes:

• Inhibition of inflammatory mediators such as prostaglandins and cytokines

• Reduction of immune cell infiltration into ocular tissues

• Suppression of redness, swelling, and irritation

• Stabilization of cellular membranes to prevent further tissue damage

This localized anti-inflammatory action helps restore normal eye function, reduces discomfort, and prevents complications associated with prolonged inflammation.

Dosage and Administration

• Instill 1–2 drops into the affected eye(s) 2–4 times daily, or as prescribed by an ophthalmologist.

• Wash hands thoroughly before use and avoid touching the dropper tip to the eye or surrounding surfaces to prevent contamination.

• Tilt the head back, gently pull down the lower eyelid to form a pocket, and instill the drops. Close the eye for 1–2 minutes and press lightly on the inner corner to prevent drainage.

• Do not exceed the prescribed duration; prolonged use may increase the risk of side effects.

Precautions and Warnings

• Use with caution in patients with glaucoma, ocular infections, or a history of herpes simplex keratitis.

• Avoid contact lenses during treatment unless approved by the ophthalmologist.

• Long-term use may lead to increased intraocular pressure, cataract formation, or secondary infections.

• Discontinue gradually under medical supervision if therapy is prolonged.

• Do not share the eye drops with others to prevent cross-infection.

Side Effects

Steron Eye Drop 0.10% is generally well tolerated. Common side effects may include:

• Temporary stinging, burning, or irritation upon instillation

• Mild blurred vision immediately after application

• Eye dryness or increased tearing

• Rare side effects: elevated intraocular pressure, secondary infections, or cataract development with prolonged use

Seek immediate medical attention if severe pain, vision changes, or signs of eye infection occur.
