Side effects of prednisolone acetate 1 eye drops

The doctor said: "Although prednisolone acetate 1 eye drops have the effect of treating eye diseases, they also have side effects.

Its common cause is increased intraocular pressure. When taking the drug, the intraocular pressure may rise gradually, and even cause the risk of glaucoma. This is because the drug affects the metabolism of aqueous humor in the eye, causing the discharge of aqueous humor to be blocked, and the pressure accumulates in the eye. If the intraocular pressure continues to be high, it can damage the optic nerve, causing vision loss, narrowing of the visual field, and eventually the risk of blindness.

Furthermore, it is easy to cause eye infections. Cover this kind of eye drops have immunosuppressive properties and can suppress the body's immune response. In this way, the ability of the eye to resist germs is weakened, and bacteria, fungi, viruses, etc. take advantage of it, causing various inflammation such as keratitis and conjunctivitis. And when the inflammation first starts, the symptoms may be hidden and difficult to detect. When it is detected, the disease may be serious and the treatment is difficult.

In addition, long-term use may cause the lens to become cloudy, causing cataracts. Drugs affect the metabolic process of the lens, causing changes in its protein structure, gradually clouding, blocking the passage of light, and affecting vision. The process may be slow or urgent, and it varies from individual to individual.

Medications should be well aware of all these side effects. During the medication period, it is necessary to closely monitor the eye pressure, pay attention to whether there are any signs of eye infection, and perform regular eye examinations to prevent problems before they occur. If there is any discomfort, seek medical attention in time and adjust the medication according to the doctor's instructions. "
