Abstract
Corticosteroids are an essential treatment modality for a wide number of diseases and are effective therapeutically but are heavily polluted with severe side effects. Topical and systemic steroids have been used in the treatment of a variety of disorders leading to complications. To monitor the possible complications of steroid therapy, routine follow ups are indicated. We report a case of 35 year old male who presented to the ophthalmology out-patient department (OPD) with gradual bilateral visual loss since few years. On eliciting detailed history, patient gave history of consuming steroids unmonitored since few years. In this report, we discuss the presentation of corticosteroid-induced cataract in a patient with Duane retraction syndrome who presented initially in ophthalmology OPD and was managed by a multi-speciality team to tackle the varied side effects of steroids taken by self-medication.
