A case report reveals increased intraocular pressure due to systemic steroids in a patient with dermatitis, suggesting careful monitoring is needed.
Although it is well known that topically administered steroids can increase intraocular pressure, systemically administered steroids are much less frequently implicated in episodes of ocular hypertension. In the case reported, a marked increase in intraocular pressure was apparently caused by seroids used in treating poison ivy dermatitis. Pressures returned to normal shortly after the drug was withdrawn.
