Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Cyclosporin has been used for an increasing number of ocular indications. This review attempts to put into perspective the present scope of cyclosporin use in the treatment of ophthalmic disorders. This includes a review of randomized masked trials performed to date and work done to minimize and characterize cyclosporin induced renal toxicity. In addition, the ocular surface is an ideal target for topical cyclosporin therapy, and the status of this therapeutic approach is reviewed. |
