How does tacrolimus perform in treating adenoviral corneal subepithelial infiltrates (SEIs)?

Label:chem

Topic
SEIs are a common complication of adenoviral conjunctivitis, often requiring prolonged treatment.
Answer
Tacrolimus 0.03% ointment was found to be more effective than dexamethasone 0.05% in improving SEI scores, visual acuity, and symptom scores. It also did not cause IOP elevation, which is a common side effect of corticosteroids.
