Abstract

[...]the present study of ADR in ophthalmology is taken up. [...]timely detection and recognition of ADR in ophthalmology is of critical importance to reduce ocular complications as early detection, withdrawing of the offending drug and early clinical management can reverse the ocular ADR.
