Abstract
The increasing use of immunosuppressive (IS) drugs in transplants or in systemic diseases, implies a long period of treatment and to be aware of possible side effects. These drugs can be used alone or in combination with steroids. This review deals with the issue of ocular side effects of the most used IS drugs, including steroids. Data were collected from Medline® using Pubmed® software. We first describe specific complication of each drug and then conclude on major common toxicity represented by opportunistic infections and induced cancers.
