 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 8 Corticosteroid-related ocular hypertension and glaucoma [Abstract] Objective analysis of steroid-related ocular disease, glaucoma incidence of treatment-related factors. Methods 11 patients with 19 clinical and steroid-related ocular hypertension patients with clinical diagnosis and treatment were studied. Results 8 cases of 13 diagnosed with corticosteroid ocular hypertension, disable, corticosteroids were treated after the normal IOP control was observed 1 to 9 years found no glaucomatous optic disc, visual field damage. Three cases of six final diagnosis of corticosteroid glaucoma, surgical repair. Conclusion corticosteroids caused elevation of intraocular pressure, topical medication more common than the body, is reversible, and after the closure can be improved after treatment, or returned to normal. [Keywords:] corticosteroids; ocular disease; glaucoma Corticosteroids associated with glaucoma or ocular hypertension is due to rise after the application of corticosteroids, in a similar clinical performance of open-angle glaucoma eye disease. Ocular, topical, systemic use, and even tracheal inhalation may lead to the occurrence of intraocular pressure is increased steroid-induced glaucoma. In our hospital from 1996 to 2005 treated 11 patients with the clinical result of ocular and systemic use of corticosteroids in patients after the intraocular pressure, are reviewed as follows. 1 Data and methods 1.1 General information on a total of 11 cases of this group of patients, 4 males and 7 females, incidence of eight cases of both eyes, monocular 3 patients, aged 8 to 45 years, there are two cases of mother and child morbidity. 1.2 Hormone use a long-term drop of allergic conjunctivitis using chloramphenicol and dexamethasone eye drops in 5 cases, drops of eye drops to use Indeed, when the two cases, drops tobradex eye drops 1 case, LASIK surgery drops by 0.1% FML (Chinese name Fluoro-US Hitomi) 1 patients suffering from sys
