Fluorometholone is primarily used in ophthalmology as a corticosteroid to treat inflammatory conditions of the eye. It is effective in reducing swelling, redness, and irritation caused by various eye disorders such as conjunctivitis, keratitis, and uveitis. The anti-inflammatory properties help alleviate symptoms and promote healing in affected tissues. It is often prescribed post-surgery to manage inflammation and prevent complications. Additionally, it is used in cases of allergic reactions affecting the eyes, providing relief from itching and discomfort. Regular use under medical supervision ensures optimal results while minimizing potential side effects.
