Abstract:
Ocular surface disorders can be caused by the drug-derived toxicity,adverse effect and abuse of eye drops,and usually these disorders present with unspecific and untypical clinical findings.So the eye abnormality induced by topical administration of eye drops often is confused with some corneal inflammatory diseases.In addition,pathogenic mechanisms vary widely due to the different types of eye drops.Therefore,difficulty of diagnosis and poor curative effect often is a challenge for us.Ophthalmologist should be aware of the toxicity derived eye drops on ocular surface.Several noticeable problems of diagnosis and treatment of drug-derived keratopathy were elaborated in this paper.
