A member asked:
What is the truth behind gradual withdrawal of ophthalamic corticosteroids?? and why ??
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: For treating a temporary eye problem, tapering is not usually required. But if you have an autoimmune problem with any part of your eye, tapering is needed in order to gauge how much steroid you need to control the inflammation.
