Commonly observed effects include localized changes at the site of application such as temporary squinting or redness. Because corticosteroids can influence the health of the cornea, your veterinarian will monitor for observational signs of recovery through regular check-ups. It is important to maintain the sterility of the container during use. Owners should monitor for any persistent ocular discharge and contact their veterinarian promptly.
