It also blocks the inflammatory response including oedema, capillary dilatation, leukocyte migration, and scar formation.

Information About Fluorometholone

Fluorometholone is a topical ophthalmic corticosteroid used to treat inflammatory conditions of the conjunctiva and anterior segment of the eye in Singapore. Available as a 0.1%–0.25% ophthalmic suspension applied two to four times daily, it is HSA-registered and available on prescription only in Singapore. Its lower lipophilicity compared to other ocular steroids results in reduced corneal and lens penetration, providing effective anterior segment anti-inflammatory activity with a lower risk of steroid-induced cataract formation and intraocular pressure elevation with prolonged use.
