A member asked:
I was prescribed a topical steroid cream for irritation on an eyelid but the warning label says not for opthalmic use is it safe to put there ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: All steroids except those specifically for the eye have that disclaimer. Use as directed and try to limit the exposure to two week intervals but in the short run it is safe.
