Loteprednol is considered a safer steroid, particularly for ophthalmic use, because it is an ester-based corticosteroid that is designed to undergo rapid inactivation in the body. This minimizes its systemic absorption and reduces the risk of side effects commonly associated with other steroids, such as increased intraocular pressure. Its targeted action and reduced systemic impact make it a preferred choice for treating inflammatory eye conditions.
