Abstract
Dry eye disease (DED) is a prevalent ocular surface disease. Like with any chronic disease, patients with DED can experience episodic flares. There are many existing and upcoming treatments for the chronic treatment of DED, yet treatments for DED flares are limited. Loteprednol etabonate 0.25% is an FDA approved treatment modality for the short-term treatment of the signs and symptoms of DED. This medication is formulated with the customized mucus-penetrating particle (MPP) technology, which has a greater ability to penetrate the ocular surface and more effectively deliver the active steroid to the ocular surface tissues as compared with conventional steroid preparations. There is also increasing utility of loteprednol etabonate 0.25% in the treatment of DED before and/or after cataract or refractive surgery or as induction therapy prior to starting chronic immunomodulatory medication for DED.
