Case Report: Steroid-induced Ocular Hypertension in a 6-year-old Boy

CONCLUSIONS This case reminds eye care providers to be aware of the potential ocular hypertensive response to systemic steroid treatment and the importance of establishing early monitoring. With the emergence of multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children during the current COVID-19 pandemic, eye care providers may encounter more pediatric patients on systemic corticosteroid treatment than previously and should adjust their examinations appropriately.
