Eye care update and review of some of the major oral medications and their ocular side effects
Mashael Namaeh
Pennsylvania College of Optometry, USA
S
ystemic drugs can affect the eye from the cornea to the retina, in this talk I would like to discuss the side effects of the major
drugs used every day in our clinics such as antibiotics, anti-inflammatory, steroids, beta blockers and herbal medicine
and their ocular side effects. As an eye care provider, would like to emphasize how critical to be aware of the possible ocular
complications that are due to the list of medications the patients are taking from their primary care physicians in regular basis
such as OTC medications or herbal medications or prescription-drugs. By knowing our side effects, we could easily rule out
most of the patient complaint. A literature review of these medications has been followed through and their side effects will be
presented in this talk.
