  • Description

    Certain ocular conditions are treated with fluorometholone, a steroidal anti-inflammatory agent. This medication is transformed into inactive compounds when instilled into the eye, at the normal pH level of the eye. However, it is converted into active metabolites that bind to glucocorticoid receptors. These metabolites are less potent than dexamethasone by a factor of 1000 in animal models. Fluorometholone is clinically effective in improving visual acuity and reducing inflammation in various ocular diseases. It is available in various dosage forms, including an ophthalmic suspension of 0.1%. Glucocorticoid hormones like fluorometholone inhibit inflammatory mediators and immunological responses by binding to glucocorticoid receptors (GRs). These receptors are present in almost every vertebrate animal cell, including the eye. Fluorometholone is a neuroprotective agent that upregulates the expression of ATP-binding cassette transporters. The medication is commonly used to treat inflammatory conditions of the conjunctiva and cornea, exophytic anterior uveitis, ocular inflammation in systemic lupus erythmatosis, and short-term treatment of conjunctivitis due to allergies. It is important to note that prolonged use of fluorometholone may lead to ocular complications such as cataracts and fungal infections. Other contraindications to this medication include tuberculosis of the eye, viral infections of the eye (including herpes simplex), and any type of ocular infection.
