Abstract
Periocular and orbital injections of long-acting corticosteroids havebeen standard treatments for various inflammatory conditions of the eye formany years.1,2 Some authoritieshave proposed that peribulbar administration of corticosteroids might notbe ideal for the treatment of chronic ocular disease, suggesting that theiraction is partly due to systemic absorption of the drug and that their effectivedose lasts only a few days to weeks.3 Intraocularadministration of corticosteroids has the potential to give extended dosesof a drug at high local concentrations.
