What Experts Say

Dexamethasone calms inflammation by blocking the chemicals that cause redness, swelling, and irritation in the eye.

It works well for short courses under a doctor's guidance, and the dose is usually tapered down rather than stopped suddenly.

Using it for too long can raise eye pressure and increase infection risk, so regular eye checks are needed during treatment.
