Abstract
Glucocorticosteroids are widely used in clinical and ophthalmic practice, but their unjustifi ed and uncontrollable use is unacceptable. Prescription of steroids has to be controlled strictly and the level of intraocular pressure must be diagnosed, because one of the signifi cant side eff ect of steroids is increased intraocular pressure level and, as a result, the development of glaucomatous optic neuropathy. This review deals with the pathogenesis of an increase in the level of intraocular pressure against various forms of glucocorticosteroids intake, describes the time and duration of their ocular-hypertensive eff ect. The available data on the features of the clinical picture of steroid glaucoma, depending on the routes of their entry, have been studied in detail. The tactics of treating patients with ocular hypertension or a proven case of steroid glaucoma are described.
