UNLABELLED: The adverse effects of corticosteroids are well-known and occur more frequently when corticosteroids are used perorally or intravenously. The management of uveitis, which normally consists of topical corticosteroids and mydriates, can be challenging. We report a case in which continuous use of topical corticosteroids resulted in adrenal insufficiency and obesity. CONCLUSION: When topical corticosteroids are used over longer periods, hypophysis-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) function should be carefully monitored.
