Developments in the pharmaceutical industry with new formulations have led to a reevaluation of a steroid for numerous ocular conditions. The ocular steroid is generally used to prevent permanent damage to the eye, which may arise from certain eye problems.

In addition, ocular steroids are also used to prevent a number of complications associated with postoperative ocular inflammation. However, the two most common side effects associated with the ocular steroid are increased intraocular pressure (IOP) and cataract formation.
