What are the potential ophthalmic effects of corticosteroid therapy, including risks of cataracts or intraocular pressure changes and how should these be monitored?
1. Corticosteroid therapy can cause cataracts and elevate intraocular pressure, risking glaucoma. Patients should undergo regular eye exams to monitor changes.
2. Long-term use of corticosteroids may lead to cataracts and increased intraocular pressure, possibly resulting in glaucoma. Regular eye examinations are advisable.
3. Corticosteroids can raise intraocular pressure and induce cataract formation. Periodic eye exams are recommended to monitor for these effects and manage risks.
