Ophthalmic Drug Safety and Side Effects
Ophthalmic drugs are generally well tolerated, but side effects may occur depending on the drug class and duration of use. Common side effects include burning, stinging, blurred vision, or redness after application.
Long-term use of certain ophthalmic drugs, particularly corticosteroids, may increase intraocular pressure or contribute to cataract formation. Regular monitoring helps identify and manage these risks.
Patients should report persistent discomfort or visual changes promptly. Proper use and medical supervision enhance safety.
