A member asked:

Can eye drops contains cortisone?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: The most common eyedrops with steroids in them contain other steroid types which probably will be more comfortable to administer. You should only take steroid containing eyedrops under the supervision of an ophthalmologist.
